Overview
- The Numbers’ tally places Saldaña’s cumulative box office for lead and lead‑ensemble roles at about $15.46–$15.47 billion, edging Johansson’s total.
- Saldaña now appears in the three highest-grossing films ever—Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, and Avatar: The Way of Water—and is the first actor in four $2 billion titles including Avengers: Infinity War.
- Coverage notes small discrepancies across outlets because some aggregators classify supporting roles differently, which can exclude films like Oppenheimer for certain actors.
- Saldaña acknowledged the milestone in a social video, thanking collaborators including James Cameron, J.J. Abrams, Joe and Anthony Russo, and James Gunn, as well as fans.
- Future releases could reshuffle the rankings, with Saldaña expected in Avatar 4 and 5 and other franchise entries on the horizon.
