After Jurassic World Rebirth, Scarlett Johansson is Hollywood’s highest-grossing actor

Scarlett Johansson just made history — and this time, it’s not in a red wig or a black catsuit. The ‘Black Widow’ icon has officially become Hollywood’s highest-grossing lead actor, dethroning her Marvel co-stars after the dino-sized success of her latest film, ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’.

The 40-year-old superstar’s new reign follows the July 2 release of the Jurassic World reboot, where Johansson steps into the franchise as ex-military operative Zora Bennett. According to The Wrap, the film’s monstrous six-day global debut — raking in a colossal $318 million — catapulted Johansson’s career lead-actor box office total to a staggering $14.8 billion.

That puts her ahead of fellow Marvel heavyweights like Robert Downey Jr. ($14.2 billion) and Samuel L. Jackson, who previously held the top spot with $14.6 billion thanks to hits like The Incredibles and Incredibles 2. Even Jurassic World’s own Chris Pratt trails behind, while Tom Hanks remains the sole non-superhero contender in the top five.

Much of Johansson’s box office crown is built on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she starred as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in eight films, including Avengers: Endgame, Infinity War, Civil War, and her own standalone film. But it’s Jurassic World Rebirth that truly turned the tables, adding a fresh prehistoric punch to her already blockbuster-stacked resume.

In Rebirth, Johansson’s character leads a high-stakes covert mission to a remote island still crawling with dinosaurs — breathing new life (and box office muscle) into the beloved franchise after Chris Pratt passed the torch.

Meanwhile, RDJ might have a shot at retaking the crown with the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, where he’s set to play Doctor Doom. But unless Marvel pulls a multiverse miracle to resurrect Black Widow, Johansson’s new title might be safe for now.

For now, it’s clear: Scarlett Johansson isn’t just an Avenger anymore — she’s officially Hollywood’s unstoppable box office queen... with a pack of dinosaurs roaring right behind her.
