Surpasses Scarlett Johansson

American-Dominican actress Zoe Saldaña has set a new box-office record, topping the list of the highest-grossing actresses of all time. The total worldwide earnings of films featuring the star have reached $15.47 billion, according to industry outlet The Numbers.

The decisive factor was the release of «Avatar: Fire and Ash». James Cameron’s latest film, which premiered at the end of last year, has already grossed more than $1.23 billion worldwide, enabling Saldaña to overtake the previous chart leader, Scarlett Johansson.

In addition, Zoe Saldaña has become the first actress to appear in three of the highest-grossing films in cinema history: «Avatar» (2009), its sequel «Avatar: The Way of Water» (2022), and «Avengers: Endgame» (2019). Last year, Saldaña also won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the Netflix crime musical «Emilia Perez».

Other major franchises also played a significant role in achieving this record. Saldaña’s portrayal of Gamora in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – including the «Guardians of the Galaxy» trilogy and several «Avengers» films – was a major contributor to her box-office success. She has also appeared in the «Star Trek» franchise and in the first installment of «Pirates of the Caribbean».

The actress has already commented on her new status on Instagram, thanking everyone who supported her along the way:

«I simply want to express my sincere gratitude for this incredible journey that led me to becoming the highest-grossing actress in history. This was only possible thanks to the powerful franchises, the partners I was fortunate to work with, and every director who placed their trust in me», wrote the 47-year-old star.

According to The Numbers, the next positions in the overall ranking of highest-grossing actors are held by Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Pratt. Among actresses, Emma Watson ranks 16th, Karen Gillan 23rd, and Elizabeth Olsen 25th.

Previously, the list was led by Scarlett Johansson, who claimed the top spot following the success of «Jurassic World: Rebirth», which earned $869 million worldwide, and who is also closely associated with Marvel projects.

A beautiful family

The premiere of the animated film «Elio» took place in Los Angeles the other day. Among the guests was Zoe Saldana – the 46-year-old actress voices one of the main characters in the movie.

She was accompanied by her sons – 10-year-old twins Bowie and Cy, and Zen, who is 8 years old. Zoe rarely brings her children to public events, so their appearance caused quite a stir.

The actress posed for photographers wearing a brown blouse with voluminous sleeves and a mustard pencil skirt. Her sons looked just as stylish – in blue blazers, white shirts, dark jeans, and sneakers.

Recently, the actress admitted that her children had been eagerly waiting for the film’s release.

«They immediately connected with the story. I think everyone can relate to the themes Elio touches on: the feeling of being a stranger in your own skin, the feeling of not belonging in this world. But also the desire to be part of a community that accepts you for who you are. My boys definitely loved it», Zoe said in an interview on Good Morning America.

The animated film «Elio» will hit the big screen on June 20. At the center of the story is a young boy named Elio, an outcast with a vivid imagination. He finds himself in an interplanetary organization made up of representatives from different galaxies. The main character is mistakenly identified as the leader of Earth. Now, he must build new connections with unpredictable alien life forms, endure incredible challenges, and discover who he is truly meant to be.
