Marvel and DC Actresses Claim Top Spots on Fan-Created List of Most Popular Stars

Share:

Recently, a major survey was conducted on Ranker to determine the most popular actresses in Hollywood right now. The list features over 160 names, but in this report, we’ve chosen to highlight the top ten, offering our own insights and commentary to enhance the overview.

Given the significance of this ranking, we felt it was worth covering. We’ll be sharing the top 10 actresses, counting down from 10th to 1st. We hope you enjoy the results!

10. Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen is undoubtedly best known for her role as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch in the MCU, both in the films and the acclaimed WandaVision series. However, she has since moved beyond the “MCU alum” label, taking on several standout roles outside the franchise, which has significantly boosted her popularity. Additionally, as the younger sister of the Olsen twins, she had a strong foundation to kick-start her career.

9. Natalie Portman

They say good wine improves with age, and the same could be said for Natalie Portman. She made her debut in Besson’s Léon: The Professional and gained widespread recognition in Lucas’ Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. While she may not be the most in-demand actress today, her memorable performances over the years have kept her firmly in the spotlight. Her well-deserved place on this list is a testament to her lasting relevance.

8. Jennifer Aniston

Frankly, seeing Jennifer Aniston on this list is a bit surprising. Her portrayal of Rachel on Friends remains her most iconic role, and while she’s appeared in several rom-coms since—some of which were genuinely funny—she’s not as prominent in today’s acting scene. Much of her lasting appeal still stems from her Friends fame, proving that the show continues to be a cultural powerhouse no matter how you look at it.

7. Anne Hathaway

Once adored by young audiences, Anne Hathaway has evolved into an icon known for tackling complex roles. Modern cinephiles will certainly recognize her name. Over her career, she’s showcased an impressive range, taking on everything from lighthearted rom-com and superhero roles to deeply dramatic performances, proving her versatility. Whether she’s more popular than someone like Anya Taylor-Joy is up for debate, but Hathaway undoubtedly deserves her share of recognition.

6. Emma Watson

Though Hermione Granger will always be an unforgettable character, Emma Watson’s post-Harry Potter roles haven’t quite justified her spot on this list, making her inclusion a bit surprising, much like Jennifer Aniston’s. Watson is undoubtedly a talented actress with a dedicated fanbase, but when names like Anya Taylor-Joy, Karen Gillan, or Brie Larson are absent, it raises questions about this choice.

5. Emma Stone

Emma Stone is a brilliant actress, a multiple Oscar winner, and one of the most talented performers of her generation. She has demonstrated her versatility across a wide range of roles, from The Amazing Spider-Man to La La Land, and her standout performances in Yorgos Lanthimos’ films. We’re big fans of Emma, and her spot on this list is well-deserved.

4. Jennifer Lawrence

Another Oscar-winner, Jennifer Lawrence became Hollywood’s darling after her breakout role in The Hunger Games franchise, which catapulted her to stardom. Since then, she has taken on a variety of roles, including Mystique in the X-Men franchise, consistently delivering outstanding performances and proving her versatility. With her immense talent, we wholeheartedly agree that she deserves a spot on this list.

3. Zendaya

It’s no surprise that Zendaya ranks in the top three. In addition to being a phenomenal actress, she’s also a fashion icon and a major influence in Hollywood. While many recognize her as MJ from the MCU’s Spider-Man films, her most significant role to date is in HBO’s critically acclaimed series Euphoria, where her performance has earned her numerous awards and widespread recognition.

2. Scarlett Johansson

Much like Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson is a true icon and a name that guarantees a quality film and a standout performance. She has demonstrated her range across genres, from comedies to intricate dramas, including Black Widow in the MCU. Given her widespread popularity and consistent excellence, it’s no surprise at all that she’s landed in the top three.

1. Margot Robbie

From The Wolf of Wall Street and Suicide Squad to Barbie, Margot Robbie has been a key player in many critically and commercially successful projects. Her name is now synonymous with high-profile films, and her influence extends into producing her own movies, solidifying her status as a major force in Hollywood. It’s no surprise that she’s landed in the top spot.
