Disney star Asher Angel is hoping the new DC Comics flick, "Shazam!," about Captain Marvel blows up like the 'Harry Potter' series because, if it does, he could be looking at more than $3 million easy.

Asher, who's only 15, scored the role of young Billy Batson in the flick. It's only his second big screen role and he's earning $85k for it. He gets an additional $25k if the box office tops $400 million, which is rare for superhero movies these days.

According to Asher's contract, filed in court because he's a minor, he starts making serious dough for the sequels. Here's the breakdown:

"Shazam! 2": $200k, with a $35k bonus

"Shazam! 3": $400k, with a $50k bonus

"Shazam! 4": $800k, with a $100k bonus

"Shazam! 5": $1.6 million, with a $150k bonus

Those numbers beat bagging groceries for minimum wage, for sure!

Asher needs ya bad, Captain Marvel.

Jaden Smith on a surfboard was like a newborn giraffe taking its first steps... wobbly as hell but gets the job done.

Jaden's out in Hawaii on vacation with little sis Willow ... and both suited up to hit the waves. Jaden's no stranger to the adrenaline rush. Who else is down to jump out of a plane at 15?

He's shaky at first on the board but no doubt he'll master the art of surfing. And check out Willow ... posing like a strong contender to land the cover of Surfer magazine.

Disney sure takes care of its child stars -- the kid who plays Levi in Raven Symone's new show raked in more than $120k for the 1st season alone, and he's in position for even more.

According to his minors contract, obtained by TMZ, Jason Maybaum hauled in $12,500 for the pilot of Disney Channel's "Raven's Home" -- a spin-off of "That's So Raven" -- and then earned an additional $9,000 for each Season 1 episode.

There are 13 episodes in the can -- which means this kid earned about $120,500. What's more, he's set to earn $9,450 per episode for a second season, $9,923 for a third, and $10,419 for a fourth.

Jason, who's only 10 years old, plays a major character in the show ... so the cash is well-deserved.

Shareef O'Neal isn't just a stud basketball player -- he's also got some reporting chops ... and he's got the inside scoop on LaMelo Ball.

Shaq's son was at the TDE Watts Christmas Charity Concert when he told us he spoke with LaMelo about his move to play pro ball in Lithuania ... and told us how the youngest Ball bro REALLY feels behind the scenes.

We also told Shareef about the NEW hoops league LaVar Ball is trying to launch -- and asked if he would ever consider joining up with his friends.

The short answer ... hell no.

Sofia Richie got down and dirty -- sexy dancing for boyfriend Scott Disick -- and it was all while her dad's music blasted in the background.

Disick shared the clip of a 19-year-old Richie in some skimpy Santa gear moving her hips and shaking her ass in his kitchen. It's a whole lotta awkward, considering the song she's gyrating to is Lionel's "All Night Long."

34-year-old Scott has been seemingly settled down since getting with Richie months ago ... looks like their recipe for fun is some one-on-one dance parties.

Blac Chyna ruined her future ... and she did it on purpose.

BC's showing off the new tattoo she got over the one she partially erased -- Future's name. In its place, she put her daughter Dream's name. That relationship should last longer than the one with the rapper.

The doting mom's now keeping both of her kids handy. King's name is on her other.

TMZ broke the story ... Future dug the tat when BC got it in 2015 barely a month into dating. She's since been with Rob Kardashian and others.

Unclear what took so long to wipe it off, but lesson finally learned?
