Tom Holland is soon due for a huge box office milestone, putting him just behind bigwigs like Zoe Saldaña and Scarlett Johansson. It is a big year for cinemas, with five movies already crossing the billion-dollar threshold as of August 2026. Two of these movies, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and the MCU’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day, have Tom Holland in key roles, who has also been experiencing the biggest year of his career. Now, with both movies still doing pretty well at the box office, Holland stands a chance to etch his name in the history books.

He is about to mark his entry into a coveted box office list just a spot behind the titans Zoe Saldaña and Scarlett Johansson.

Tom Holland has had a fantastic year at the box office in 2026, earning consecutive billion-dollar smashes. On the heels of his most recent productions, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the actor is swinging his way towards joining a prestigious list that has top names like Zoe Saldaña and Scarlett Johansson on it.

Holland can end up in third place among the highest-grossing actors, right after Zoe Saldaña and Scarlett Johansson, if Spider-Man: Brand New Day maintains its outstanding theatrical run. Due to their considerable engagement in popular series, Saldaña and Johansson currently hold the top two positions. With almost $15.47 billion as of January 2026, the Avatar actress tops the box office standings, followed closely by Marvel’s Black Widow with about $15.40 billion.

Holland has reportedly made over $13.6 billion at the box office, making him one of the top ten highest-grossing actors in history. The Spider-Man actor may be able to join the exclusive $15 billion club, which presently only consists of Saldaña and Johansson, if Brand New Day keeps up its formidable run.

His appearances in the Avengers franchise and four Spider-Man movies are largely responsible for Tom Holland's remarkable box office results. All of his solo Spider-Man movies, including Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the most recent one, have brought in close to $4 billion. Brand New Day made $1 billion in just six days, making it the second-fastest movie to do so after Avengers: Endgame.
