Spider-Man and Odyssey power couple Zendaya and Tom Holland could become most profitable box office stars of any year in history

Key Points:

• Zendaya and Tom Holland are on track to become the most profitable box office actors in a single year, driven by their roles in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and the MCU’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
• The Odyssey has grossed $911.4 million globally in just over two weeks, while Spider-Man: Brand New Day made $927 million during its opening weekend, contributing to Hollywood’s most successful domestic weekend ever.
• Both actors have significantly contributed to their films' success through their on-screen chemistry and public appearances, with Zendaya also benefiting from earlier hits like The Drama and the upcoming Dune: Part Three.
• Holland may appear in the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday, which is expected to surpass $1 billion at the box office, potentially boosting his earnings further; Zendaya might also join the film as MJ.
• Currently, Samuel L. Jackson holds the record for most box office profit in a single year ($6.4 billion in 2019), but Zendaya and Holland’s combined earnings from their recent and upcoming projects could challenge this milestone.
