Zoe Saldaña: The Box Office Queen

Zoe Saldaña has claimed the title of the highest-grossing actor ever, surpassing Scarlett Johansson. Her latest film, Avatar: Fire and Ash, grossed over $1.2 billion, pushing her total earnings to $15.46 billion worldwide.

How Did She Get Here?

Saldaña's success comes from her roles in blockbuster films:

• Avatar series
• Guardians of the Galaxy (as Gamora)
• Avengers movies
• Star Trek
• Pirates of the Caribbean

The Competition

Last year, Johansson held the top spot thanks to Jurassic World Rebirth ($869 million). However, Saldaña's recent success has pushed her ahead. Beyond movies, Saldaña won an Oscar for Emilia Pérez and is currently working on the next season of Lioness.

Recent Successes and Setbacks

• Avatar: Fire and Ash has remained at the top spot in the U.S. since December.
• Elio (Pixar), which she voiced, underperformed.

Future Projects

James Cameron, director of Avatar, has hinted at two more films in the series, though nothing is official yet. He jokingly mentioned holding a press conference if the films don't materialize.
