A few days ago, Forbes published its list of the most overpaid Hollywood stars of 2016, and now we’ve got its annual list of the best value stars of the year, which sees Chris Evans retaining top spot for the second year in a row.
Evans is joined by several Marvel co-stars in the top ten in Chris Pratt, Scarlett Johansson, Vin Diesel and Robert Downey Jr., along with X-Men star Jennifer Lawrence and Batman himself, Ben Affleck. Mila Kunis, Jennifer Aniston and Matt Damon round out the remaining spots.
