Forbes's ranking of the world's highest-paid actors for 2019 is out, with Dwayne Johnson, Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr at the top of the ranking.

According to the publication, Johnson, whose 2019 film credits include Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw as well as the WWE-themed comedy-drama Fighting with My Family, made $89.4m (£73.7m) between 1 June, 2018 and 1 June, 2019.

Hemsworth and Downey Jr are two of several actors who landed on the list thanks to their earnings from Avengers: Endgame and its $2.796bn (£2,305bn) at the world box office.

Per Forbes, Hemsworth (who plays Thor in the MCU) earned $76.4 m (£63m) over the past year, while Downey Jr made $66m (£54m).

Those earnings come from both the original deal established by each actor and the additional money they might receive from the "pool", an amount of money contingent on how well the film performs.
