The list of the ten actors with the highest box office earnings is dominated by stars from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). As per the data on The Numbers, only Tom Cruise and Dwayne Johnson have managed this feat without any MCU roles. The other eight have either played or shared roles as Earth’s mightiest heroes. However, having just one blockbuster franchise isn’t enough to secure the number one spot on the box office chart. With the addition of Jurassic World to her filmography, Scarlett Johansson has become the highest-grossing actor ever (for now).
The monumental debut of “Jurassic World: Dominion” marked a significant milestone in Scarlett Johansson’s cinematic career, surpassing her fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) co-stars Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr., Zoe Saldana, and Chris Pratt in terms of box office earnings. According to Forbes, these four actors now trail Johansson in the all-time box office rankings.
Among all four, Johansson’s earnings from movies exceed $14.85 billion (continuing to rise since the release of “Rebirth”), which is the highest gross for any actor, achieved in only 36 films, setting her apart as the most successful actor in terms of box office returns.
Although Pratt and Saldana have credits for three “Jurassic World” films and “Star Trek,” respectively, as well as “Avatar” on Saldana’s list, it’s understandable that Johansson outranks them in terms of Marvel Cinematic Universe roles. This is because Johansson was absent from the first two “Avengers” movies, while Pratt and Saldana were involved. Moreover, Johansson featured in “Iron Man 2” and “Captain America: Civil War,” which may have contributed to her higher standing.
It’s clear that Johannson won’t stay at the number one spot for much longer in the MCU. There’s no certainty about her future appearances, but actors like Jackson, Downey Jr., and Pratt are likely to rejoin the franchise. When they do, their box office earnings will undoubtedly increase by a few more billion dollars.
Scarlett Johansson might consider venturing into a galaxy far, far away in the future. With her roles in both “Jurassic World” and “Star Wars,” she’d maintain her position atop this list for quite some time. However, these are just guesses. Let’s give a round of applause to Johansson for becoming the highest-grossing actor ever; even if it won’t last long, it’s still something to celebrate.
