London, July 7 (ANI): Scarlett Johansson is to pocket 13 million pounds for ' Avengers 2' - the highest an actress has ever been paid for a movie.

Johansson, 27, is being lured to return as Black Widow in the superhero sequel.

The 13-million-pound fee tops Angelina Jolie's 12.2 million pounds for 'The Tourist.'

Movie bosses want Johansson to sign after ' Avengers Assemble ' grossed 936 million pounds - the third highest in history.

"Scarlett is the hottest star in Hollywood and her inclusion in the sequel is a must," the Sun quoted a source as saying.

"Producers think that as the only lead woman in the film male fans have found her a key ingredient - both for sex and story appeal. She is loved by critics too.

"This says, 'We value you'. Everyone is confident she'll sign and be ready for 2013 filming," the source said.

Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner are also to get 50 percent pay rise. (ANI)
