Summary

  • Scarlett Johansson has become the highest-grossing actor of all time at the global box office, surpassing Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr.
  • Her new film, Jurassic World Rebirth significantly contributed to her career total of $14.8 billion USD

Scarlett Johansson has officially made cinematic history, becoming the highest-grossing actor of all time at the global box office. This monumental achievement, driven significantly by the massive opening of her new film, Jurassic World Rebirth, sees her surpass fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) giants, including Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., to claim the top spot.

Johansson’s role as Zora Bennett in Jurassic World Rebirth provided the final push, adding to a career total that now stands at an astonishing $14.8 billion USD in worldwide box office gross. While her nine appearances as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in the MCU, including ensemble blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame, were the primary contributors to her previous standing, the impressive $318 million USD global launch of Jurassic World Rebirth in its first six days cemented her new record. This film, which opened on July 2nd, marks her as the lead star of the dinosaur franchise, taking over from Chris Pratt.

This milestone not only highlights Johansson’s individual star power but also underscores the unprecedented box office dominance of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the top five highest-grossing actors globally are now all MCU alums. Despite having exited the MCU with Black Widow four years ago, Johansson has continued to diversify her portfolio with projects like the Sing franchise and other standalone films, proving her consistent appeal across various genres and cementing her legacy as one of Hollywood’s most bankable and impactful stars.
