Scarlett Johansson is the highest-grossing actor
With these numbers, Scarlett Johansson now surpasses previous leaders like Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr., actors who’ve long dominated the charts thanks in large part to their Marvel roles.
While her decade-long run as Black Widow certainly contributed, it’s Jurassic World Rebirth that pushed her over the edge.
As per the sources, it is Scarlett Johansson’s versatility, her ability to move seamlessly between action, drama, and science fiction, for her ongoing box office success.
