Ryan Reynolds is currently the golden boy of Netflix as he gets an 8-figure salary for his movies. But there was a time when Will Smith was a box-office hit and got paid high even at that time. The 2016 superhero film Suicide Squad depicted a supervillain team based on DC Comics.

The drama cast Will Smith as Floyd Lawton, an expert marksman and assassin. Although the movie didn’t receive positive remarks, it still made stunning numbers in theaters and earned $746.8 million.
