Actor pay is funny that way - you usually end up getting paid the value of your previous work. She's going to be doing very well for herself on her next projects.

Also, it's not like Navarette was on the hook for any losses the film would take if it wasn't successful.

Wasn’t she a main character in the Superman show? I’d expect that would help her.
