In 2014, she joined the cast of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. With a budget of $170 million, the film went on to gross more than $700 million worldwide. And while impressive, it’s not nearly as impressive as 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. The movie had a budget of $250 million and grossed more than $1.150 billion worldwide. 

Johansson also appeared in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. She was actually pregnant with her first child while making the film, which is her fourth highest-grossing film to date. The movie made $1.4 billion worldwide on a $250 million budget. 

Johansson returned to the Marvel universe in 2018 for Avengers: Infinity War. A year later, Marvel released the next installment of the series, Avengers: Endgame, which is currently the second highest-grossing movie of all time. With a $356 million budget, the film grossed $2.797 million worldwide, making it Johansson’s highest-grossing film to date.
