On social media, Stegman noted that he had not received any advance notice about Knull's cinematic debut while jokingly speaking about what he would use his share of the money for the character's appearance.
Cates had a more concise response. He flipped the Venom logo so it looks like it spells out 'money.'
A 2022 story in The Hollywood Reporter suggested that although the initial contracts called for $25,000, the payment shrank down to $5,000 for each of the creators of Yelena Belova, Florence Pugh's character in Black Widow.
Marvel does reportedly have a policy in place to pay creators when characters that originated with them are used in film or television projects.
