It is reported that Scarlett Johansson has achieved a significant career milestone, becoming the highest-grossing actor globally based on worldwide box office earnings. According to The Wrap, her films have cumulatively grossed $14.8 billion worldwide.
This accomplishment follows closely after the release of Jurassic World: Rebirth, in which Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a former military operative indulging in a dangerous assignment on one of the few islands still populated by dinosaurs. This film represents her debut in the Jurassic franchise, succeeding Chris Pratt in the leading role.
Jurassic World: Rebirth has enjoyed a successful outing at the global box office, collecting $318 million in its first six days of release. It currently holds the position of the second-highest opening for a film in 2025, surpassed only by China's animated sequel, Ne Zha 2.
According to the box office tracker The Numbers, Scarlett Johansson's cumulative earnings, which have been updated to $14.8 billion, are mostly from films in which she has either played a leading role or been part of a leading ensemble. A significant portion of this success, exceeding $8.7 billion, is thanks to her portrayal of Natasha Romanoff, also known as Black Widow, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly in blockbuster films such as the Avengers series and Captain America: Civil War.
Her impressive box office success includes her first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Iron Man 2, alongside her voice-over as Ash, the singing porcupine, in the animated Sing movies.
At the age of 40, Scarlett Johansson has achieved a remarkable feat, surpassing previous record-holders Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., both of whom also established their box office success through Marvel films, with Tom Hanks and Chris Pratt completing the top five.
What further highlights Johansson's achievement is that her $14.8 billion earnings come from only 36 leading roles, a smaller number compared to Samuel L. Jackson's 71 or Robert Downey Jr.'s 45.
