'Enola Holmes 2' on Netflix: Millie Bobby Brown creates history with $10M salary for actor under 20
'Enola Holmes' didn't appear in the top 10 of Netflix’s most-watched movies ever, but it was still a big enough hit to warrant a sequel. 'Enola Holmes 2', like the original, stars Millie Bobby Brown as the teenage sister of Sherlock Holmes, played by Henry Cavill. Details are being kept under wraps but Millie Bobby Brown has reportedly made history as she is set to receive a paycheck of $10 million (£8.4million) for her role in 'Enola Holmes 2'.
The 18-year-old 'Stranger Things' star is thought to be setting a record for the largest upfront salary paid to an actor under the age of 20. Its sequel was recently confirmed to be released on Netflix later this year. According to Variety, the actress first played the role of Enola in the 2020 film and is set to earn a significantly larger sum for the sequel. In the new film, Enola will seek to unravel the mystery of a missing girl, with the help of her friends and famous brother.
