Hollywood's box office landscape has undergone a significant shift with the massive success of James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash. The film's $1 billion worldwide gross has catapulted 37-year-old Zoe Saldana to the top spot as the highest-grossing actor in history, surpassing Scarlett Johansson. Saldana's impressive cumulative box office gross now stands at $15.5 billion, largely driven by her starring roles in four of the seven highest-grossing films of all time, including the top three Avatar films, which have collectively earned $6.6 billion. Her appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films have also contributed significantly, with a total of over $7.5 billion. The actress is poised to add to her tally with upcoming roles in Avengers: Doomsday and the remaining Avatar films. Saldana's achievement marks a milestone in her illustrious career, surpassing notable actors such as Robert Downey Jr, Tom Cruise, and Dwayne Johnson, who rank among the top 10 highest-grossing actors of all time. The list, previously dominated by leading men, now features a predominantly female lineup, with Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, and other MCU alumns vying for top spots.
