Jude Law's top 5 highest-grossing movies worldwide

Jude Law has graced the screens once again with a lead role in the thriller series, Black Rabbit, after playing supporting roles in the previous two years.

His 2025 feature, Wizards of Kremlin, recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival, receiving much critical acclaim for his portrayal of Vladimir Putin in the political adaptation of the 2022 book.

The English actor has had a history of blockbusters ever since he started acting at the age of 14, starting his career onstage like many British actors. However, it wasn’t until 1989 that he got a role on the big screen.

Law gained international recognition as an actor after his breakout role in the 1999 thriller, The Talented Mr. Ripley, which earned him an Academy Award nomination and later a BAFTA win.

Here are the top five highest-grossing movies starring Jude Law:

1. Captain Marvel (2019)

Marvel has always been a major success at the box office, including the Brie Larson-led film, Captain Marvel, which made $1.13 billion globally. Jude Law starred as Yon-Rogg, Carol Danvers' mentor and later a villain.

The film is set in the 1990s and follows Carol Danvers' life on earth after she teams up with Nick Fury to unlock her memories and the connection to a galactic war.

2. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

The prequel to the Harry Potter films, Fantastic Beasts, made $655.8 million globally, coming in second to Captain Marvel.

Jude Law portrays a young Albus Dumbledore in the Wizarding World as he teams up with Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne, to fight against Grindelwald.

The franchise was originally planned for five films, but after receiving mixed reviews for the third film, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.

3. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)

The second instalment in the film sees the iconic Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law team up, which made $537.7 million at the global box office.

Directed by Guy Ritchie, Law portrayed Dr John Watson, a doctor and roommate to Sherlock Holmes. The detective film followed the animosity between Holmes and his arch-nemesis, James Moriarty.

4. Sherlock Holmes (2009):

The first Guy Ritchie detective film came close to the second instalment with over $524 million. Here, fans of Jude Law see him for the first time as the iconic Dr Watson.

Here, the duo race against time to catch a seemingly resurrected killer who uses black magic. The film also ends with an introduction to Sherlock Holmes' nemesis, Moriarty, who is portrayed by Jared Harris.

5. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)

Surprisingly, the film with the most mixed reaction is also Jude Law’s fifth-highest-grossing film. The third instalment of Fantastic Beasts made $407.2 million.

The third and possibly the final film in the franchise follows young Albus Dumbledore’s attempt at stopping the villain Grindelwald himself by destroying the blood pact between the two.
