Yet, Jackson stands out uniquely, having featured in an impressive six billion-dollar blockbusters across three diverse franchises: MCU,The Incredibles, andJurassic Park. This significant achievement remains unmatched by any other actor in the realm of Hollywood.
Treading closely with five films, one actor nearly matches this record. Surprisingly,Andy Serkisemerges as a notable contender.

Serkis portrayed Gollum inThe Lord of the Rings: Return of the KingandThe Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, took on Snoke’s role inStar Wars: The Last Jedi, and depicted Ulysses Klaue inBlack Panther.
With five films,Scarlett Johanssonteeters on the brink of joining the ranks of Downey Jr. and Jackson.
