Zoe Saldana has shattered box office records to become the highest-grossing actor of all time, surpassing Scarlett Johansson's impressive earnings. The 47-year-old actress, a two-time Oscar winner, now boasts a staggering $15.46 billion in worldwide grosses, thanks largely to her iconic roles in James Cameron's Avatar franchise and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy.
Saldana's filmography has yielded significant hits across multiple franchises, including Star Trek and Pirates of the Caribbean. Her most recent success with Avatar: Fire and Ash added a whopping $1.2 billion to her total earnings, cementing her position at the top of the list. The film's performance was consistent with its predecessors in the franchise, maintaining a domestic No 1 spot since its release in December.
The actress also made headlines last year when she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Netflix crime musical Emilia Pérez. Her recent voice work on Pixar's Elio underperformed at the box office, but Saldana remains committed to her craft, currently working on the next season of action drama series Lioness.
Meanwhile, James Cameron has expressed his commitment to completing the Avatar franchise with two more films, although no official confirmation has been made. The news was met with skepticism by fans and critics alike, leaving many wondering what the future holds for this beloved IP.
When it comes to box office earnings, Saldana's success is not unique. Other high-grossing actors on the list include Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Pratt, all of whom have had extensive careers in Marvel projects. Meanwhile, actresses like Emma Watson, Karen Gillan, and Elizabeth Olsen round out the top 25 female stars on the list.
As Saldana's star continues to shine bright, fans can't help but wonder what's next for this talented actress. Will she continue to dominate the box office with her Avatar franchise? Only time will tell.
