Zoe Saldaña has become the highest-grossing actor of all time on the success of Avatar: Fire and Ash. Beyond the three Avatar movies, her work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Gamora (which plugs her into both the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises) and time aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise as Nyota Uhura across the Star Trek movies, has propelled her to a $15.47 billion career movie haul. The title of top-grossing actor tends to go to reliable supporting players who have appeared in multiple different franchises. Other performers who graced the top of the chart include Scarlett Johansson (who, beyond the MCU, appeared in hits like Sing and The Jungle Book) and veteran actor Samuel L. Jackson (who was not only in the MCU but also in Star Wars, The Incredibles, Jurassic Park and has worked constantly for several decades).
