Zoe Saldaña is feeling grateful! On Jan. 13, the Oscar winner uploaded a video to Instagram reacting to the news that she had surpassed Scarlett Johansson as the highest-grossing actor of all time following the success of “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” “Hi guys, I just want to express my gratitude for the extraordinary journey that has led me to become the highest grossing film actor of all time – today. An achievement made possibly entirely, entirely by the incredible franchises and the collaborators that I have been fortunate to be a part of,” she began. The actress went on to thank numerous directors she had worked with including J.J. Abrams, Joe and Anthony Russo and James Gunn before expressing her appreciation for “Avatar” director James Cameron. “Most importantly thank you James Cameron for believing in my potential, for seeing something in me that I have not always seen in myself and for challenging me to always rise to the occasion. Your faith, your guidance, and your vision – they shape not only these films but me as an artist,” she said. Saldaña then went on to share her deep gratitude to “the fans around the world” before ending with what her hopes are for the next person who will receive the title. “And may the next record breaker be another woman!” she exclaimed. With the success of “Avatar’s” latest installment – which has earned over $1.2 billion to date – Saldaña’s worldwide grossing estimate is over $15.47 billion, per box office tracking website “The Numbers.”
