Scarlett Johansson’s long-held reign as the highest-grossing actor in Hollywood has officially come to an end, as fellow Marvel star Zoe Saldaña surges ahead thanks to the monumental success of Avatar: Fire and Ash, which has now grossed over $1.23 billion worldwide.
Saldaña’s ascent to the top spot — with a staggering $16.86 billion in global box office receipts — reflects not just the unstoppable force of the Avatar franchise, but the power of diverse blockbuster universes. From Neytiri’s epic journey on Pandora to Gamora in the Guardians of the Galaxy films and key roles in Star Trek and Pirates of the Caribbean, Saldaña’s career has become a blueprint for sustained box office dominance.
For Johansson, this milestone shift highlights how even the biggest stars face fierce competition in an era of cinematic universes and global fandoms — so as Hollywood’s blockbuster landscape continues to evolve, who will rise next to challenge Saldaña’s newly crowned legacy?
