Overview
- Avatar: Fire and Ash has grossed about $1.23 billion worldwide, pushing Saldaña to No. 1 on the industry tracker’s list.
- She is the only actor to appear in the three highest-grossing films ever and the first to feature in four movies that each topped $2 billion.
- The Numbers’ ranking reflects nominal global grosses for lead roles only, and different counting methods—such as including cameos and voice work—would yield different leaders.
- Saldaña acknowledged the milestone in a social-media message, thanking directors including James Cameron, the Russo brothers, J.J. Abrams and James Gunn, as well as fans.
- Totals remain fluid as current releases continue their runs, and planned Avatar sequels slated for 2029 and 2031 could shift the leaderboard again.
