### A New Absolute Leader at the Box Office Zoe Saldana has surpassed the previous record holder Scarlett Johansson and has become the highest-grossing actress on the planet. According to the analytical platform The Numbers, the total worldwide box office of films featuring her has exceeded **$15.46 billion**. She has left behind industry heavyweights like Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr. ### "Avatar" Makes History Again A key contribution to the record was the new film by James Cameron **"Avatar: The Way of Water"**, which has grossed over **$1.23 billion** at the global box office. The third installment of the franchise has proven that the world of Pandora remains a powerful cultural and commercial phenomenon, with the character Neytiri being one of the most recognizable figures in modern cinema. ### Marvel, Which Brought Billions However, Saldana's success is not limited to "Avatar." Major contributions came from the Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, where the actress portrayed the character Gamora. The films **"Guardians of the Galaxy"** and **"Avengers"** became global hits and turned her into one of the most sought-after actresses of the 21st century. ### Critical Recognition The commercial triumph is accompanied by professional awards. Last year, Zoe Saldana received an **Oscar** for her role in the musical drama **"Emilia Perez"** — a project that critics have called one of the boldest and most unconventional works in her career.
