Zoe Saldaña, the Academy Award-winning actress, has officially become the highest-grossing actor ever, thanks to the massive success of her latest film, Avatar: Fire and Ash. The movie has already earned over $1.2 billion worldwide and continues to bring in more money.
Zoe Saldaña has become the highest-grossing actress, thanks to her return as the strong Na’vi warrior Neytiri. She surpassed Scarlett Johansson, who held the top position last year following the release of Jurassic World Rebirth.
Zoe Saldaña’s involvement in the three Avatar films has significantly raised her profile. The first movie, released in 2009, remains the highest-grossing film ever, earning over $2.92 billion worldwide, as reported by Box Office Mojo. The 2022 sequel, The Way of Water, was also a huge success, bringing in $2.34 billion and becoming the third highest-grossing film of all time. It was only surpassed by Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion), another film starring Saldaña, which holds the number two spot.
Zoe Saldaña quickly became a key figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after first appearing in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. She’s now been in five Marvel films, including the massive hit Avengers: Infinity War (which earned over $2 billion worldwide). This makes her the first actor to star in four movies that have each grossed over $2 billion globally.
Aside from her success in Marvel films and with director James Cameron, Zoe Saldaña seems to consistently guarantee a movie’s financial success, making her one of the most reliable stars in Hollywood.
Zoe Saldaña shared her thanks on social media after becoming the highest-grossing film actor of all time. She expressed deep gratitude for the journey, explaining that the accomplishment was only possible because of the amazing franchises she’s worked on and the directors who believed in her.

With two more Avatar movies planned for release in December 2029 and 2031, Zoe Saldaña seems likely to remain a dominant force in box office success.
