2016 may have been the worst
year for many, but Scarlett Johansson certainly made the most of it.
The star topped Forbes annual list of highest grossing actors, with her
films bringing in $1.2 billion worldwide.
The magazine cited
Johansson’s role as Black Widow in “Captain America: Civil War,” which
grossed more than $1.15 billion worldwide. The star’s role in “Hail,
Caesar!” also helped to earn her the top spot.
“Captain America: Civil War”
costars Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. tied for second place on the
highest grossing actors list, as the blockbuster was the highest
grossing movie of the year.
Johansson cemented her place in history as the highest grossing actress ever
in June, when Box Office Mojo reported that movies featuring the star
grossed $3.3 billion in domestic box office revenue.
Earlier this year, Johansson
spoke about the gender wage gap that plagues the film industry, saying
that she felt “a little obnoxious” discussing how the issue applied to
her personally.
“I am very fortunate, I make
a really good living, and I’m proud to be an actress who’s making as
much as many of my male peers at this stage,” Johansson said in Cosmopolitan’s April issue.
“I think every woman has [been underpaid], but unless I’m addressing it
as a larger problem, for me to talk about my own personal experience
with it feels a little obnoxious. It’s part of a larger conversation
about feminism in general.”
