Comparing the salaries earned by each of the actors for their first solo entries in the franchise is baseless for a number of reasons;
Each actor's track record outside of the MCU
The time difference between each film
The franchise's notoriety/earnings at the time the film was made
Using CW and Ragnarok salaries for Evans and Hemsworth just proves my point further. You're basically saying it took them 3 successful solo movies to achieve the salart Scarjo is receiving for her very first one.
Again, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's definitely incorrect to say that she's getting paid similar wages to her male counterparts. All you need to do is look at their IW salaries to know that's incorrect, as both Thor and Cap had way bigger roles in IW than BW.
Also, here's the article I was using for IW salaries:

Which lists a smaller salary for both Evans and Hemsworth.
Lead actors are paid primarily on the basis of how many movie-goers they can attract to theaters during the first two weeks of a movie's opening.
By compensating Scarlett at the same level as Hemsworth and Evans (according to HR), what Marvel Studios is saying is, we believe that relative to the film's budget, Johansen can attract as many viewers as Evans or Hemsworth could.
