Carrie Coon could have reprised her Marvel Cinematic Universe role in Avengers: Endgame, but declined to continue after the studio didn’t offer her more money.

The White Lotus and Gilded Age star played the humanoid Proxima Midnight in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War. Although her character was set to return for Endgame, a dispute in pay made Coon exit the sequel, according to her husband Tracy Letts.

“I believe [Marvel] went to her for the second one, and they asked her to be in the second one,” Letts said on The Big Picture podcast (via People). “And she said, ‘Well, the first one is the most successful movie ever made. Are you going to pay me any more money?’ And they said, ‘No. We’re not going to pay you any more money.’”

Letts continued, “She said, ‘Wow, you’re not going to pay me any more money, then I don’t think I’m going to do it.’ And they said, ‘Well, you should feel yourself fortunate to be part of the Marvel Universe.’ So she declined.”

Coon’s husband noted that they “would’ve made a bigger deal out of this, but it would have involved us watching the movies and we weren’t going to do that,” adding that neither have watched the films since their release.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2018, Coon said she was pregnant during filming with the role starting as a voiceover audition that turned into a motion-capture job.

“I flew down to Atlanta and did some mo-cap, mostly the facial capture,” she said. “Of course, I can’t take credit for all of it — it’s a gifted team of animators that are taking on the bulk of that performance. But it morphed from a voiceover job into a mo-cap job, and then suddenly I realized I was in the highest-grossing movie of the year.”
