Tom Holland has reached another amazing achievement in his career - he now ranks as the 3rd highest grossing actor in terms of box office. The British actor has soared in the rankings thanks to the spectacular success of his latest films, especially Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Holland is now second only to Zoë Saldaña and Scarlett Johansson in box office sales.
The success of Holland, who is only 30 years old, is no less of a milestone because so much of his box office profile has been built in a very short period of time. With Spider-Man: Brand New Day his latest big hit has been a massive global hit and has already crossed $2 billion in its theatrical run.
The movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now grossed about $2.33 billion around the world, making it one of the biggest movies in movie history. Holland is now the highest-rated male actor on the list; he is now above his fellow Marvel actor Chris Pratt.
Holland’s box office explosion of 2026 has been far from limited to Spider-Man. He also stars in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, another major theatrical release that’s performed very well worldwide. The two movies have combined generated billions of dollars in global box office revenue and have so far cemented Holland as one of Hollywood’s biggest commercial stars.
Zoë Saldaña currently holds the top position and has made films in many of the most popular franchises in modern movies. Scarlett Johansson jumped ahead of her earlier in 2026 following the success of Avatar: Fire and Ash. Her films have made more than $15 billion worldwide in the box office trackers’ eyes.
Scarlett Johansson is currently in second place. This huge record is also illustrated by her widespread participation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow). Her most recent appearance in Jurassic World Rebirth also contributed to her total box office record which is now her highest global box office total and was in first place even before Saldaña broke it.
Holland's rise is particularly impressive because he has had so many successful movies during such a young career. His breakthrough as Spider-Man brought him into the world and his films in big Marvel productions exposed him to some of the largest theatrical audiences in the world. His Spider-Man films have made him one of Hollywood’s most successful young actors today.
The Odyssey's success also showcases Holland's ability to make a box office statement outside the Marvel world. Working with Christopher Nolan has landed the actor in another major cinematic project with an international audience. With two big movies in operation in the same year makes 2026 a very special time in Holland’s life.
The latest ranking should also be understood in relation to how all-time actor box office lists are calculated. These are usually the worldwide theatrical grosses of films in which an actor has a leading or significant ensemble role. Different databases consider or calculate their totals differently from each other, including cameos and ensemble performances, so the totals and rankings may be different.
But Holland’s latest achievement is a major indication of his commercial appeal. After a year with two big Hollywood hits, he is ahead in the global film industry.
With Spider-Man: Brand New Day continuing its impressive theatrical run, Holland's total could continue to change. His third place status is also a step above the two stars that stand ahead of him, but the gap remains great and how he will perform at the box office in the future will determine if he can challenge either Saldaña or Johansson.
Holland is now in the exclusive club of Hollywood performers who have brought home massive box office revenue worldwide. Holland is in a unique position as Spider-Man to be working with a series of high-profile filmmakers and his recent ranking means his commercial career is far from over.
