Florence Pugh plays Jean Tatlock, in Christopher Nolan's much-awaited historical drama, Oppenheimer, which is making a double feature with Greta Gerwig's Barbie this Friday, July 21.

From what Showbiz Galore reported, Pugh is getting a paycheck of $1 million for her role in Nolan's $180 million movie. But a Flickonclick report stated that the Black Widow star is making $50,000, which is considered somewhat low given some of her co-stars are making as much as up to $10 million.

The stellar A-list ensemble of Oppenheimer includes Cillian Murphy as lead physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, Emily Blunt as Katherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer, Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, Matt Damon as Leslie Groves, and Rami Malek, whose role remains a mystery.

Several reports mentioned that Murphy is making the highest sum of $10 million as the lead followed by Downey, Blunt, and Damon who are reportedly making $4 million. Meanwhile, Malek walks away with a similar paycheck as Pugh.

According to the outlet, Florence Pugh further said,

"No one could have prepared me for what it was like to work with him because that in itself is the experience. I would have been totally happy to never have seen this movie, just like being on that set and watching how that man conducts the set and how he conducts the people around him was thrilling enough."
