The X post from @DiscussingFilm (posted on December 29, 2025) announces that **Zoe Saldaña is set to become the highest-grossing actor of all time worldwide**, thanks to the ongoing success of *Avatar: Fire and Ash* (Avatar 3).



### Key Details from the Post

- It features two images: one of Saldaña as **Gamora** (green-skinned) from the Marvel films, and one as **Neytiri** (blue-skinned) from the Avatar series, playfully highlighting her iconic "painted" roles in massive franchises.

- As of late December 2025, *Avatar: Fire and Ash* has already grossed over $760 million worldwide in its early run, pushing Saldaña's career total past Samuel L. Jackson into second place all-time (around $14.8+ billion).

- She's now very close to overtaking Scarlett Johansson at #1 (around $15.3–15.4 billion), and continued success of the film could make her the top-grossing actor ever.


### Notable Reactions on X

- Many replies praise her smart role choices in blockbuster franchises (Avatar, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy), noting she's the only actor in history with **five films** surpassing $1 billion (and four over $2 billion).

- Humorous comments focus on her often playing non-human characters (e.g., "Best greenface, blueface actress" or jokes about face paint).

- Others highlight how she's achieved this with far fewer films than actors like Jackson, who have 30+ more credits.


This milestone underscores Saldaña's dominance in sci-fi blockbusters, with her films collectively exceeding $15 billion in some updated trackers by year's end. Well-deserved recognition for quietly building one of the most lucrative careers in Hollywood! 🚀
