From the heroes like Batman and Wolverine to the terrifying villains such as Joker and Thanos, superhero movies have proven to be box office juggernauts, with the likes of Marvel and DC films leading the way. However, the artists who bring them to life, notably the actors who inhabit them, are often unappreciated at award shows.
Unfortunately, and although this ranking doesn’t focus on perceived “Oscar-worthy,” the list of snubs is far longer, with iconic performances, such as Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman in “Batman Returns” or Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger in “Black Panther,” failing to gain recognition. While the definition of a “superhero movie” and “awards-worthy” varies, the impact of the characters and the actors who play them on pop culture is often undisputed.
Expect lots of Marvel Studios chatter within the confines of Hall H, with hopefully a preview of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and crossing our fingers at first glimpses at the Zachary Levi sequel “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” and more. San Diego-Comic-Con runs from July 21-24 at the San Diego Convention Center. Read all the latest news and information on future Marvel Studios projects on
Gal killed in Wonder Woman and deserves to be number 2 with Christopher Reeves as number 3. Heath Ledger I can see as number one but Variety gives too much weight to the villians.
Ben affleck at 41 , that was enough to estimate how wierd this ranking is.
You excluded James McAvoy for Split and ignored his performance in X-Men: Days of Future Past as well as Sir Patrick Stewart for DOFP and Logan but included Gal Gadot and in top 20, be serious
how are you gonna put mj but not wanda and some xmen
what happened to scarlett
The Crow! still gets me right in the feels
No Fassbender's Magneto? This list is not valid
zendaya and tom holland that high is a crime also the list sucks
An L list
Scarlett isnt even here🥸
Not gonna click on it since SnyderQueen_ said its a weird list. But I will leave SnyderCutOnDigital here.
These performances are legitimately better than almost everyone of the ones you posted.
What about V for Vendetta
Reeve Joaquin Pattinson Cox Heath The best superhero perfomances
For those pissed. Stop taking these lists made in an hour time for clicks so seriously.
I say this with all due respect but you completely ignored The X Men franchise plus it leans way too heavily into the MCU, how is Michael Pena and Karen Gillian there but not Robert Pattinson and Michael Fassbender?!?!?!?!
