Zoe Saldaña, a veteran of numerous blockbuster films, has officially been confirmed as the highest-grossing actor in cinematic history (unadjusted for inflation). Her extensive filmography has collectively amassed over $15 billion at the global box office, surpassing the $14.8 billion record set last year by fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe star Scarlett Johansson. The previous titleholder was also an MCU veteran, Samuel L. Jackson, whose record stood at $14.6 billion.

The primary driver of Saldaña's monumental box office success is undoubtedly the "Avatar" franchise. The three films released to date have alone contributed nearly $6.5 billion to her total. Beyond Pandora, her impressive resume also includes the "Star Trek" trilogy, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" trilogy, "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame," and the original "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," among other massive productions. Her filmography is undeniably stellar and continues to grow.
