Ariana Greenblatt has just joined a small group of actors with multiple movies in the billion-dollar club.
Barbie continued its box office streak and hit $1 billion at the global box office.
It also became the first film from a solo female director to hit this incredible milestone.
Greenblatt has already written herself into the history books after being one of the lead stars of the Greta Gerwig flick.
The 15-year-old, who played Sasha in Barbie, also appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe when she played young Gamora in Avengers: Infinity War.

That film made a casual $2 billion at the box office.
Samuel L. Jackson dominates the billion-dollar club with a total of 10 movies grossing $1 billion, which include his roles in the Star Wars franchise and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Andy Serkis, who has also starred in the Star Wars franchise and the MCU in addition to Lord of the Rings The Hobbit films, comes in second with seven billion-dollar films.
The rest of the list is made up of Avengers stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, and Tom Holland, and Star Wars regulars Ewan McGregor, Anthony Daniels, and Warwick Davis
Greenblatt told Marie Claire Australia that Margot Robbie felt like 'her older sister' after filming Barbie.
“We’d blast '90s music in the morning and Michael Cera [who plays Allan] and I would challenge each other at Wordle," she said.
"He’s a genius and beats me every time. Margot is like my older sister. We bonded over music, our love of matcha and sushi. I still text her with updates on all my high school gossip."
She added: “I spent a lot of time in the fantasy wardrobe room learning about Barbie’s history with fashion. It's crazy how iconic Barbie truly is and how she has paved the way for so many fashion moments. Going to work everyday on the set of Barbie’s dream house was incredible."
Although she'd already starred in Avengers: Infinity War, the 15-year-old knew what a big opportunity landing a role in the movie would be.
“I just remember thinking, no matter how this turns out, I’m so happy I got to have a meeting with the two of them,” she told Flaunt about meeting with Robbie and Gerwig.
“I was like, ‘Just kill it in this meeting so they remember you, and you’re good'.”
