Well, here's hoping that his streak will continue with
The Avengers next year! According to the
Guinness Book of World Records (via
New York Daily News) the actor, who is known best for roles in movies like
Pulp Fiction, the
Star Wars prequels and as Nick Fury in
Iron Man 2,
THOR,
Captain America: The First Avenger and 2012's
The Avengers, is the highest grossing star of all time, beating the likes of Will Smith and Tom Cruise.
The 62-year-old star (no, I don't think he looks anywhere near that age either!) has starred in over 100 movies, ultimately raking in a whopping $7.4 billion. And he clearly has no intention of slowing down. As well as teaming up with the likes of Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr next year in
The Avengers, he'll also play a former con artist who decides to change his ways after a 20 year prison stint in thriller,
The Samaritan.
