One wonders if this will put to rest the long-circulated "Fan-Think 
Fact" that Johansson was paid substantially less than her male costars... 
but when have indignant fanboys and fangirls ever let facts convince them 
against their deeply held convictions?  

There was a story a couple of weeks back about how, in an interview, Jeremy 
Renner was asked if he would help his female costars negotiate for a higher 
salary, and Renner's response was  “That’s not my job. I don’t know 
contracts and money and all that sort of stuff.” Which sounds like a 
factual, honest answer; he is an actor not an agent, yes?  This resulted in 
Renner being put into the crosshairs of several groups online about how 
anti-feminist he was, because clearly it was not the "right" answer to 
those folks.  

Of course, the fact remained then as well as now that his high profile 
female costar *made more money than he did.* So shouldn't she be 
negotiating on his behalf?
