The 10 Highest-Grossing Mark Ruffalo Films, Ranked

Quick Links

Mark Ruffalo is one of the most prominent actors in the industry right now. He is a veteran of both the stage and the screen, and he has always had a fantastic sense of humor. Ruffalo is an avid user of social media and has always had a sense of humor about himself. Over the course of more than two decades, he has been in a wide range of dramas, comedies, independent films, and blockbuster franchises, demonstrating his versatility.

Mark Ruffalo is best recognized by mainstream audiences as Bruce Banner in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a position he assumed with skepticism. The earlier incarnations of the Hulk, portrayed by Eric Bana and Edward Norton, failed to successfully launch the character, and Mark Ruffalo's first appearance as the character was in the big crossover The Avengers. He captivated the hearts of fans immediately and has been a terrific recurrent character in the series for the past ten years. Here is a look at the 10 highest-grossing Mark Ruffalo films.

Collateral ($220.9 Million)

If Ruffalo had not become an actor, he would have been an excellent police officer (at least he has that look). In Michael Mann's outstanding Los Angeles-based thriller, Ruffalo plays narcotics detective Ray Fanning, who discovers the connections between the victims left behind by Vincent (Tom Cruise). Fanning does manage to save taxi driver Max Durocher (Jamie Foxx) before meeting his fate, but Ruffalo's presence provides "Collateral" with the necessary weight on the side of the good people.

Shutter Island ($299.4 Million)

Mark Ruffalo is an extraordinarily subtle actor, and he helps conceal all of Shutter Island's fascinating story twists until the very end. The psychological thriller directed by the legendary Martin Scorsese follows Leonardo DiCaprio's Teddy Fields, a U.S. Marshall dispatched to investigate a psychiatric facility on a mysterious island with his sidekick Chuck Aule (Ruffalo). Rewatching with the finale in mind demonstrates Ruffalo's ingenuity in his choices to conceal Aule's motives.

Now You See Me 2 ($328.3 Million)

One year after outsmarting the F.B.I. and garnering public acclaim with their Robin Hood-style magic acts, The Four Horsemen reappear with the intention of exposing the unscrupulous practices of a tech billionaire. Walter Mabry, a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most improbable heist to date, is the guy behind their disappearance. Their only hope is to pull off one final, unprecedented prank to clear their names and expose the culprit. In the film, Mark Ruffalo's spectacular performance left an enduring impression.

Now You See Me ($342.7 Million)

Four magicians respond to a mystery call to an unknown location containing secrets. One year later, they are the Four Horsemen, renowned stage illusionists whose sold-out Las Vegas show culminates with a bank heist that appears to be real. FBI Agent Dylan Rhodes, portrayed by Mark Ruffalo, and Interpol Agent Alma Dray are assigned to investigate how they accomplished it. Despite Thaddeus Bradley's expertise as a professional illusion debunker, this enigma proves to be difficult to unravel. What follows is a weird investigation in which nothing is as it seems, with illusions, dark secrets, and hidden intentions aplenty, while all concerned are reminded of a fundamental reality regarding this puzzle: the closer you look, the less you see.

Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings ($432.2 Million)

In 2021, "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" was one of the most popular films in the United States. Over the first weekend, the Marvel film grossed $196 million, surpassing "Black Widow's" $183 million to become the year's highest-grossing domestic release. It is obvious that the strength of the Marvel Studios brand contributed to "Shang- Chi's" success. A combination of an exclusive theatrical release and favorable critical and audience reception has helped the film reach this stage.

Thor: Ragnarok ($854 Million)

On November 3, 2017, Thor: Ragnarok was released in theaters, and the movie was a tremendous hit. In addition to grossing $854 million worldwide after a $122 million opening weekend, the film received overwhelmingly excellent reviews. The film's tone, visual palette, and Hemsworth's rejuvenated performance were praised by critics. Even Mark Ruffalo's Hulk gave an outstanding performance, breaking Marvel's streak of largely forgettable performances.

Avengers: Age Of Ultron ($1.4 Billion)

Tony Stark designs the Ultron Program to defend the world, but when the peacekeeping program turns hostile, The Avengers must unite to confront an almost invincible foe. Earth's mightiest heroes must once more band together to preserve the planet from extinction. Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., and others portrayed this great plot in the second Avengers film, which also featured a series of impressive performances. The film grossed a total of $1.4 billion at the box office.

Avengers ($1.5 Billion)

Loki, the adopted brother of Thor, forms an alliance with the Chitauri Army and utilizes the Tesseract's power to fly from Asgard to Midgard, where he plots the invasion of Earth and his ascension to the throne. Nick Fury, the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., initiates project Avengers, recruiting Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man; Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America; Bruce Banner, a.k.a. The Hulk; Thor; Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow; and Clint Barton, a.k.a. Hawkeye, to save the world from the evil Loki.

Avengers: Infinity War ($2.04 Billion)

Thanos has emerged from the cosmic shadows as the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the planet from threats too enormous for any one hero to handle. His goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, objects of unfathomable power, and utilize them to impose his twisted will on the entirety of reality. This is the culmination of all the Avengers have fought for; the fate of Earth and existence has never been more unclear.

Avengers: Endgame ($2.8 Billion)

It seems like an eternity since Disney released Marvel's "Avengers: Endgame," the highest-grossing film in the illustrious Marvel Cinematic Universe, the top global box-office performer not only of 2019 but of the whole 21st century, and likely to remain so. "Endgame's" record-breaking $2.8 billion worldwide gross was not just the most significant event of 2019, but it also kept the theatrical model afloat.
