Scarlett Johansson has made headlines for achieving a significant milestone in her film career, surpassing fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr. to become Hollywood’s highest-grossing lead actor, with her latest film, “Jurassic World Rebirth,” contributing to this impressive feat. The film has quickly earned over $318 million globally just six days into its release.
This achievement elevates Johansson’s lifetime box office total to approximately $14.8 billion, allowing her to overtake Jackson, who previously held the title with $14.6 billion, and Downey, with $14.3 billion. Notably, Johansson accomplished this exit from the MCU in just 36 films, while Jackson and Downey had participated in 71 and 45 films, respectively.
Many of Johansson’s valuables in her box office total can be traced back to her role as Black Widow in various MCU films, which include high-grossing titles such as “Avengers: Endgame,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” and “The Avengers.” Along with her latest project, she has also starred in successful films like “Lucy” and “Sing.”
In “Jurassic World Rebirth,” Johansson plays Zora Bennett, a mercenary who partners with a paleontologist to secure dinosaur DNA. This role is particularly special for Johansson, who expressed her long-standing passion for the original “Jurassic Park” films, having aspired to join the franchise for over a decade.
Johansson’s success is emblematic of a positive trend for the film industry, as “Jurassic World Rebirth” and its vibrant storytelling have drawn audiences back to theaters. Her achievement reflects an evolving landscape in Hollywood where established stars continue to thrive while captivating new generations of fans. With this latest milestone, Johansson not only solidifies her place in film history but also underscores the power of dedication and passion in the arts.
