Carrie Coon Turned Down MCU Return Over a Salary Dispute: Marvel Told Her She Should Be ‘Fortunate’ to Even Be Asked

Tracy Letts is looking to avenge his wife Carrie Coon after her MCU salary dispute. Letts, who is an actor and playwright, said during “The Big Picture” podcast (via People) that “The White Lotus” star Coon was asked to reprise her voiceover and motion capture role of Proxima Midnight for “Avengers: Endgame.” However, Marvel was not going to increase Coon’s salary even after the success of 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War.”
“I believe [Marvel] went to her for the second one, and they asked her to be in the second one,” Letts said. “And she said, ‘Well, the first one is the most successful movie ever made. Are you going to pay me any more money?’ And they said, ‘No. We’re not going to pay you any more money.’”
Letts continued, “She said, ‘Wow, you’re not going to pay me any more money, then I don’t think I’m going to do it.
