According to The Daily Dot, the role of Wonder Woman has earned Gal $300K.

Of course that figure is not to be sniffed at – except when you compare it to her male co-stars.

The same report details Iron Man star, Robert Downey Jr. as earning around $55 million for Captain America: Civil War, and also says Henry Cavill took home a cool $US14 million for Man of Steel.

Despite playing a similar starring role, the apparent inequality of her earnings has angered Gal's fans on social media.
