Almost certainly. I don’t know about this project, but David O. Russell’s Madden movie had a locker room scene that called for nude male extras, and the rate was $1000 for 8 hours (plus overtime afterwords), which is many times more than what we usually get. This being a big-budget studio project with an A-list director, I’m sure it was similar.
I was also an extra on Superman, as a prisoner in the pocket world, although that was heavily cut down in the finished movie. During filming at Trilith Studios, there was a shot where the camera was only on me, and James Gunn called me “far from background” over the microphone. Also as I was waiting at my fitting, Nicholas Hoult walked up to me, shook my hand, and introduced himself. I have nothing but positive things to say about working on both projects, which I definitely can’t say about every set I’ve been on.
