Published: Tuesday 13th Jan 2026 by Rashad

A little over 25 years after making her on-screen film debut 2000’s ‘Center Stage,’ Academy Award winner Zoe Saldaña has become the highest-grossing actor of all time.

Beyond being the three highest-grossing films of all time, ‘2009’s ‘Avatar‘ ($2.9 billion), 2019’s ‘Avengers: Endgame‘ ($2.8 billion), and 2022’s ‘Avatar: the Way of Water‘ ($2.3 billion) all have one major thing in common: Zoe Saldana.

Between those history-making movies, ‘Star Trek,’ her other Marvel Cinematic Universe appearances, and the latest ‘Avatar’ installment ‘Fire and Ash‘ recently crossing the $1.23 billion revenue-mark, Saldana is now the highest-grossing actor of all time.

Reports have it her films have collectively amassed a whopping $15.47 billion at the box office over the last 25 years, snatching the title from fellow MCU starlet Scarlett Johansson (whose works reportedly sit at $15.40 billion combined).

Look below to see how Zoe responded to the historic news.
