Zoe Saldaña has made box office history.
The Avatar: Fire and Ash star recently became the highest-grossing lead actor at the worldwide box office, surpassing fellow MCU star Scarlett Johansson, who earlier this year made headlines for the same achievement after the global launch of Jurassic World Rebirth.
The timing isn’t random. Saldaña’s climb comes as James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash crossed about $1.23 billion worldwide after its fourth weekend in theaters, per Variety.
As tracked by The Numbers’ “Top Stars at the Worldwide Box Office” list, Saldaña now sits at $16.86 billion, just ahead of Johansson, who now sits on the No. 2 spot at $16.44 billion.
If you were to judge them by leading roles only, the race is still razor sharp. Saldaña remains on top at $15.468 billion over 33 movies, while Johansson rests comfortably at $15.402 billion over 36 movies.
None of this should come as a surprise. Saldaña’s career has never been tied to just one mega franchise. She’s stacked several over the years, such as Neytiri in the Avatar films (including the latest juggernaut, Fire and Ash), Gamora in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (a run that includes multiple era-defining box office giants), and Nyota Uhura in the Star Trekreboot films.
That combination gives her multiple pipelines to billion-dollar grosses. And with Fire and Ash still in theaters, the gap may not stay narrow with Johansson for long.
The Top 10 Highest-Grossing Actors
Saldaña and Johansson are not alone in their achievements.
As shared by The Numbers, Samuel L. Jackson is rocking the third spot at roughly $14.6 billion in box office, followed by Robert Downey, Jr. at $14.3 billion.
Meanwhile, Chris Pratt takes the fifth spot at $14.1 billion, while Tom Cruise is sixth at $12.6 billion. Chris Hemsworthis seventh at $12.1 billion, and Fast and Furious star Vin Dieselis eighth with $12 billion.
