According to box office tracking site The Numbers, films featuring Saldaña have now generated nearly $15 billion worldwide. She has appeared in three of the highest-grossing movies ever made — 2009’s Avatar, its sequel, and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame — and is the first actress to star in four films that have each earned more than $1 billion globally.

Her success spans multiple major franchises, including Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Star Trek. The previous record for highest-grossing actor was held by Scarlett Johansson.
