Other top earners include Robert Downey Jr. ($14.3 billion), Zoe Saldaña ($14.2 billion), and Chris Pratt ($14.1 billion). They have all had significant roles in major franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the “Jurassic” series.

However, Johansson’s reign at the top might be short-lived. Zoe Saldaña’s upcoming film “Avatar: Fire and Ash” is expected to perform well at the box office. Robert Downey Jr. is also set to return to the MCU with his role as Doctor Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday.”

Scarlett Johansson reaches a new milestone

Johansson has expressed no intention of returning to her role in the MCU. “Natasha is dead.

She is dead. She’s dead. Okay?” Johansson said in an interview when asked about a potential return.

“She saved the world. Let her have her hero moment.”

The success of “Jurassic World Rebirth” is a significant chapter in Johansson’s career. She has been a fan of the “Jurassic” franchise since childhood.

“I was really crazy about the original film, and I slept in a Jurassic Park pup tent in my bedroom I shared with my sister for a year,” she mentioned in an interview. Looking ahead, Johansson is set to star in the upcoming crime drama “Paper Tiger,” directed by James Gray, with Adam Driver and Miles Teller. She is also involved in developing a “Tower of Terror” movie for Disney.

“Jurassic World Rebirth” is currently showing in theaters.
