Johansson surpasses Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., reaching $14.8 billion USD at the global box office.
Scarlett Johansson has officially set a new global box office record, becoming the highest-grossing actor of all time, driven significantly by her latest blockbuster, Jurassic World Rebirth. Johansson’s remarkable achievement saw her surpass Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) co-stars Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr. to claim the top position, reaching an extraordinary career gross of $14.8 billion USD.
The key factor propelling Johansson to this cinematic milestone was the global opening of Jurassic World Rebirth, which earned an impressive $318 million USD within just its first six days of release. Johansson stars as the lead, Zora Bennett, stepping into the spotlight previously held by Chris Pratt in the popular dinosaur franchise.
While Johansson’s previous roles, especially her iconic performances as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow across nine MCU films including Avengers: Endgame, provided the bulk of her box office earnings, Jurassic World Rebirth cemented her status as the reigning box office champion. This landmark achievement further emphasizes the massive global impact of the MCU, as the top five highest-grossing actors worldwide are all MCU alumni.
Even after concluding her run as Black Widow four years ago, Johansson has continued to demonstrate versatility and star power with diverse projects such as the animated Sing franchise and other standalone films. Her ongoing success firmly establishes Johansson as one of Hollywood’s most influential and financially successful actors.
Jurassic World Rebirth premiered globally on July 2nd, 2025.
