Scarlett Johansson is named the top grossing movie star of 2016 by Forbes magazine, after appearing in films that amassed $1.2 billion in global ticket sales.
The Tony Award-winning American actress stars in the Marvel blockbuster “Captain America: Civil War” the year’s biggest box office hit, which made $1.15 billion worldwide.
Johansson, 32, edges ahead of co-stars Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr — who tied for second place — because she also appears in the Coen brothers’ “Hail, Caesar!” which raked in $63.2 million.

It has been a lucrative year for Johansson, a perennial A-list darling who was named the world’s third highest paid actress by Forbes in August, with annual earnings of $25 million.
Britain’s Felicity Jones appeared on the box office list for the first time, making ninth place with total takings for her films at $805 million.
With roles in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” mystery thriller “Inferno” and children’s fantasy “A Monster Calls,” she was the only star in the top 10 not to rely heavily on movies based on comics.
