Actress Zoe Saldaña has officially surpassed Scarlett Johansson to become the highest-grossing actor ever at the global box office, a major milestone in Hollywood history. The achievement follows the worldwide financial success of Avatar: Fire And Ash, which contributed significantly to her cumulative box office total.
Saldaña’s expansive career includes three films among the all-time highest earners — the original Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, and the latest Fire And Ash — as well as key roles in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers franchises.
Industry observers see this record as both historic and symbolic: a spotlight on a leading actress whose career spans major genre films that have defined global cinema in the 21st century.
The landmark highlights both Saldaña’s star power and the continued commercial dominance of franchise blockbusters in shaping global box office charts.
