Zoe Saldaña: The Box Office Queen

Zoe Saldaña has taken the top spot as the highest-grossing actor ever. This is a big deal because she beat Scarlett Johansson, who had been leading for a while. The reason? Her latest movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, made over $1. 2 billion. Now, her total earnings from movies are more than $15. 46 billion worldwide. That's a lot of money! So, how did she get here? Well, she's been in some huge movies. You might know her from the Avatar films, her role as Gamora in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, and the Avengers movies. She's also been in Star Trek and the first Pirates of the Caribbean film. These movies have helped her reach this milestone. Last year, Johansson was on top thanks to Jurassic World Rebirth, which made $869 million. But now, Saldaña has taken the lead. She's also been busy with other projects. Last year, she won an Oscar for her role in Emilia Pérez. Right now, she's working on the next season of Lioness.Avatar: Fire and Ash has been doing well, staying at the top spot in the U. S. since December. But not all her recent movies have been hits. Elio, a Pixar film she voiced, didn't do as well as expected. Still, her success in other movies has made up for it. James Cameron, the director of Avatar, has plans for two more movies in the series. But nothing is official yet. He joked that if they don't make them, he'll hold a press conference to tell everyone what they had planned. Other actors on the list include Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr. , and Chris Pratt. These actors have also starred in multiple Marvel films. If you look at actors who haven't been in Marvel movies, Tom Cruise, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, and Tom Hanks are at the top. Among female actors, Emma Watson, Karen Gillan, and Elizabeth Olsen are also on the list.
