Tom Holland has set a new record. The combined worldwide box office of films starring the actor has reached approximately $15.5 billion, allowing him to take the top spot in the ranking of the highest-grossing actors of all time.
RBC-Ukraine reports that 30-year-old Holland overtook Zoe Saldaña, who previously topped the list.
Holland's new record
Two major 2026 releases helped the actor reach the top of the ranking — Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day became Holland's fourth solo film as Peter Parker. The movie was released worldwide in late July and has surpassed $2.4 billion at the global box office. According to the latest reports, the film continues to earn money in theaters.

Another major contribution came from The Odyssey — Christopher Nolan's epic adaptation, in which Holland played one of the leading roles. The film also became one of the year's biggest box-office hits, with worldwide earnings approaching $1.7 billion. It has already become Universal Pictures' highest-grossing film, surpassing the studio's previous records.
Both movies effectively became key factors in Holland's rapid rise up the rankings.

His total is also built on major Marvel projects, including Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
Avengers: Endgame was particularly significant to his overall result, with worldwide box-office earnings exceeding $2.8 billion. Spider-Man: Far From Home grossed more than $1.1 billion, while Spider-Man: No Way Home earned around $2.1 billion.
In 2026, two more major blockbusters were added to his filmography, each of which brought in more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office.
It is worth noting that the $15.5 billion figure represents the combined box-office earnings of the films in which he appeared, meaning the money audiences spent on tickets worldwide. Interestingly, the record could continue to change. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has not yet completed its theatrical run, so its final worldwide box-office total is still unknown.
