1. Brie Larson
   Kelly Hu
2. Scarlet Johansson

   Margot Robbie
2. Charlize Theron
   Angelina Jolie

Evangeline Lilly plays Hope Van Dyne, also known as the Wasp. Edgar Wright was the original writer and director of the movie, "Ant-Man and The Wasp," but he quit due to creative differences partway through. After he left, the Wasp gained a much more prominent role in the film.

1. Sandra Bullock
   Diane Lane
2. Marisa Tomei
   Mary-Louise Parker

Marisa Tomei really broke the Aunt May mold, since the character had previously always been depicted as a much older and often frail woman, like the Aunt May of the original "Spider-Man" film trilogy who is almost 40 years older than Tomei.

   Zendaya
2. Rose Tico

   Emilia Clarke
2. Karen Gillan

   Kaitlyn Dever
2. Alexandra Daddario
   Zendaya

Zendaya debuted in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" as a character we thought was named Michelle but then we later find out she's Peter Parker's longtime love Mary Jane Watson. The producers pulled a fast one on the audiences so we wouldn't know right away who the character was.

   Hayley Atwell

2. Malin Akerman
   Ruby Rose

Tessa Thompson took the roe of Valkyrie in "Thor: Ragnarok." Though we only know her character by the name Valkyrie it's actually what she is, not who she is. She was one of many Valkyries, and actually her name is Brunnhilde.

1. Elizabeth Olsen
   Kat Dennings
2. Chloe Grace Moretz
   Kelly Marie Tran

Kat Dennings plays Darcy in "Thor" and is set to reprise her role in "WandaVision." The character was mostly comic relief in the movies and famously mispronounces the name of Thor's hammer as "Mew Mew."

1. Cate Blanchett
   Rene Russo
2. Charlize Theron
   Nicole Kidman

Hela was played by Cate Blanchett, who had to play the character in a motion capture suit despite the fact she doesn't look like a special effect. Hela's body changes shape and size frequently, creating spikes and such, so the actress needed to wear motion capture gear.

   Lily James
2. Kate Upton
   Olivia Wilde

   Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen plays Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch.

   Pom Klementieff
2. Natalie Dormer

Jaimie Alexander played the role of Lady Sif in the first two Thor movies as well as in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Many fans were upset that Sif didn't return for "Thor: Ragnarok" but the reason for her absence was a simple one; Alexander was just busy working elsewhere.
