Scarlett Johansson Just Became the Highest Grossing Lead Actor in History

Scarlett Johansson has just rewritten Hollywood history-again. With the explosive box office success of Jurassic World Rebirth, the iconic actress has soared past Marvel legends Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L.

Jackson
to become the highest grossing lead actor of all time.

The dinosaur-packed blockbuster roared into theaters and raked in a staggering $316 million worldwide in just six days, pushing Johansson’s lifetime box office total to an eye-popping $14.8 billion. That’s enough to dethrone Jackson, who held the top spot with $14.6 billion across 71 films, and move past Downey’s $14.3 billion over 45 films.

What makes Johansson’s feat even more remarkable is her relatively compact filmography-just 36 films to reach that record-breaking figure. The bulk of her box office muscle comes from her unforgettable run as Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where her films account for nearly $10.5 billion of her career total.

From Iron Man 2 to Endgame, and her solo outing in Black Widow, Johansson became a fixture of Marvel’s success-and now she’s etched her name into cinema’s financial hall of fame. While both Jackson and Downey have upcoming heavy-hitters like Secret Wars and the rumored Doomsday project on the horizon, ScarJo’s latest dinosaur-fueled smash has set a new bar for blockbuster dominance.

And if the rumors are true about her joining those upcoming projects too? Her reign might just be getting started.
