Overview
- The Numbers lists Saldaña’s films at about $15.47 billion from leading roles, placing her at No. 1 on the site’s highest-grossing actors ranking.
- Avatar: Fire and Ash has reached roughly $1.23 billion worldwide, prompting the leaderboard update reported Jan. 12–13.
- Scarlett Johansson, who briefly reclaimed the top position in 2025 after Jurassic World Rebirth, now ranks second on the list.
- Saldaña’s cumulative gross is driven by the Avatar franchise, her Marvel roles in Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers, and the Star Trek trilogy, and she is the first performer to appear in four $2 billion films.
- Methodology matters: The Numbers’ lead-role metric differs from all-roles counts that credit frequent cameos, and outlet totals vary slightly due to rounding and update timing.
