For individuals who dismiss the prospect of starring in a Marvel Studios film or any other high-profile movie franchise, it’s clear why they are on their way to becoming top earners in Hollywood’s box office. Although box office earnings may not be a priority for every actor, Scarlett Johansson has undeniably climbed to the position of actress with the highest box office value following the release of “Jurassic World Rebirth”. According to recent figures by “The Numbers”, her total worldwide ticket sales currently stand at approximately $15.64 billion, surpassing Zoë Saldaña whose films have generated around $15.55 billion in revenue.
The shift in the leading roles among previous Marvel actors was primarily driven by Scarlett Johansson’s successful debut in Universal’s dinosaur series, which earned a massive $141.2 million domestically over five days and $312.5 million globally during its opening weekend. However, it is her portrayal of Natasha Romanoff in the MCU that has truly been profitable, with eight films contributing significantly to her overall earnings. Zoe Saldana also appears in Marvel productions and has two Avatar movies under her belt. With the upcoming release of Avatar: Fire and Ash in December 2026, Saldana is expected to reclaim her top spot on the list. Here’s the current Top 5 actresses lineup.
- Scarlett Johansson — $15.64 billion
- Zoë Saldaña — $15.55 billion
- Cate Blanchett — $10.64 billion
- Emma Watson — $9.89 billion
- Helena Bonham Carter — $9.83 billion
Nevertheless, the two stars need to continue their successful careers if they aim to surpass Samuel L. Jackson, a Marvel stalwart, on the list of highest earners. Currently, he boasts an impressive $27.7 billion earnings across all his roles. It might be a situation where reaching second place could be satisfactory enough.
Scarlett Johansson Could Return to Marvel, but Not as Black Widow
It’s uncertain which ex-Marvel actors will appear in the upcoming “Secret Wars,” but it seems unlikely that Scarlett Johansson will be part of the massive cast, surpassing any superhero film length to date, even after “Avengers: Endgame.” However, this doesn’t necessarily mean she’s finished with Marvel Studios, as there might still be a hidden project in development for her.
In 2021, Kevin Feige hinted that Scarlett Johansson might rejoin Marvel Studios for a project not related to Black Widow. Though much has changed since then and some projects have been abandoned, there’s no clear update on Johansson’s movie or series. As we wait to see if the project comes to fruition, her new role in the Jurassic World franchise demonstrates that she has plenty of big-screen opportunities to display her remarkable abilities in the interim.
