Superhero movies, especially from Marvel and DC, are the stage for the most beautiful and talented actresses in the history of cinema, and today, we will mention some of these great beauties of superhero cinema!

Kirsten Dunst

She is the eternal Mary Jane from Sam Raimi's trilogy. Kirsten Dunst's early career was marked by her precocious talent and a series of roles that made her one of Hollywood's most promising young actresses. Born in New Jersey in 1982, Kirsten began her acting career at a very young age, appearing in commercials and small roles on television.
However, it was her role as Claudia in the film "Interview with the Vampire" (1994), based on the novel by Anne Rice, that significantly launched her career. At the age of 12, Kirsten played a child vampire alongside stars such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas, receiving praise for her mature and impressive performance. Another defining work of her youth was Jumanji, a classic from the 1990s, which introduced the actress to many.
But her name was definitely boosted in 2002, when she played Mary Jane in the three Spider-Man films by Tobey Maguire. Despite the good acting, this MJ costume just doesn't sit well with me, as it doesn't sit well with many fans either. The script turns Mary Jane into a complete idiot, being kidnapped in every film and having a ridiculous relationship with Peter, where she clearly plays with the Spider-Man in a somewhat cruel way, something that doesn't match the character's original personality.
Gal Gadot

Her acting career began with roles in films and television series, initially standing out for her appearance in the Fast and Furious saga.
However, her big leap to international recognition came with her portrayal of Wonder Woman, starting with her debut in "Batman vs Superman", which is possibly the highlight of her work. She continued in the role, and starred in two films as the Princess of the Amazons, in addition to the two Justice League films, being considered the definitive version of the character. More recently, the actress's beauty has been the subject of discussion again, due to her latest role in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
In the live-action adaptation of this Disney classic, she will play "The Fairest There Is", better known as the Evil Queen, which also demonstrates her versatility. It remains to be seen whether she will be able to give a magical touch to one of Disney's scariest villains.
Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie's early career was marked by her rapid rise from a budding actress to one of Hollywood's brightest stars. Born in Australia in 1990, Margot began her career on Australian television, appearing in series such as "Neighbours" and "Pan Am", where she gained attention for her talent and charisma.
However, it was her role as Naomi Lapaglia in the film "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013), directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, that really put Margot Robbie on the international map. Her performance as Jordan Belfort's fiery and complex wife earned her critical acclaim and established her as an actress with a promising future in Hollywood. More recently, two roles have marked Margot's career, Harley Quinn and Barbie.
Robbie played Harley Quinn in 3 films, and became strongly associated with the character, despite perhaps straying somewhat from the Queen of Crime's original concept. Unfortunately for some, and fortunately for others, it is extremely unlikely that the actress will return to play Harley Quinn after the absolute reboot of the DCEU, proposed by James Gunn. However, her makeup as Harley Quinn in 2016's Suicide Squad earned the professionals responsible an Oscar for Best Makeup. In addition, we also had the actress's great performance as Barbie, a work that despite being a watershed in the critics' minds, was a true box office success, surpassing one billion at the box office, and boosting Margot's Oscar race.
Emma Stone

Emma Stone is a candidate among the actresses who have won the Oscar for best actress twice, a simply fantastic feat, the last one being for her role in La La Land. However, the role that pop culture fans remember her the most is as Gwen Stacy, in the two Amazing Spider-Man films. Although the two films are not at all brilliant, Gwen and Peter are an extremely well-constructed couple, possibly one of the best in Marvel, which was tragically ended by the insane Green Goblin. More recently, she stood out for her role in Cruella, where she gave life to one of Disney's greatest villains.
Natalie Portman

We will open the list with the beautiful American actress Natalie Portman, famous mainly for her parents in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and V for Vendetta. In Star Wars, Portman played Senator Padmé, Anakin Skywalker's wife, a key player in the Jedi Knight's downfall and his transformation into Darth Vader. In V for Vendetta, she plays the young Evey, who is fascinated by the vigilante V and decides to help him in his crusade.
The beginning of Natalie Portman's career is marked by a remarkable rise from a very young age. She was born in 1981 in Jerusalem and grew up mainly in the United States. Her first prominent role was at the age of 12 in the film "The Professional" (also known as "Léon"), directed by Luc Besson, where she played Mathilda, a young woman protected by an assassin played by Jean Reno.
Natalie also played Thor's love interest, Jane Foster, in three of the four films of the God of Thunder, creating a very interesting dynamic with him. Jane even became the Mighty Thor in Love and Thunder in an attempt to stop the progression of her disease, but unfortunately, she ended up dying in the end. At 43 years old, Portman has an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Actress, both for her role as Anne Boleyn in the film Black Swan. Portman is undoubtedly a great actress in the history of cinema, and her talent and beauty are undeniable, certainly guaranteeing her place on this list.
Michele Pfeiffer

Michelle Pfeiffer's early career was marked by her gradual journey and ascent as one of Hollywood's most talented and sought-after actresses. Born in 1958 in California, Michelle initially aspired to a career as a singer but eventually turned to acting.
Her first significant film role came in 1980 with The Hollywood Knights, but it was in the following years that she began to capture the attention of critics and audiences. In 1983, Michelle Pfeiffer gained recognition for her role as Elvira Hancock in Scarface, directed by Brian De Palma. Her performance alongside Al Pacino put her on Hollywood's radar as a rising star, thanks to her stunning beauty and magnetic on-screen presence.
However, without a doubt, the most iconic role of this stunning actress was as Catwoman in Batman Returns (1992), the second film by Tim Burton featuring the Dark Knight. Unlike the seductive thief from the comics, Pfeiffer's portrayal added an unprecedented level of insanity to the character, starting with her bizarre resurrection by cats in an eerie scene. Instead of simply stealing, Selina launches bizarre attacks across Gotham, aligning herself with Danny DeVito’s Penguin to take down Batman. Throughout the film, Kyle becomes romantically involved with billionaire Bruce Wayne, later discovering that he is, in fact, the Caped Crusader. In this role, Michelle's beauty is highlighted as an essential aspect of her characterization, but her mannerisms also showcase her immense acting talent.
Scarlett Jonhasson

Perhaps the most well-known among the ten selected actresses due to her work in Marvel, Scarlett Johansson has had several standout roles in her career, such as Lucy. However, none became as iconic as Black Widow. Originally a second- or third-tier character in Marvel Comics, her portrayal elevated Natasha Romanoff to the ranks of one of the most beloved figures in the MCU.
The character has always relied on her beauty and seductive power, which garnered significant attention in her early appearances in Iron Man 2 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. However, with each new film, her depth and complexity were further explored, making her one of the most intricate characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Scarlett Johansson’s career began in the late 1990s when she started gaining recognition in Hollywood as a talented young actress. Born in New York in 1984, Scarlett showed an early interest in acting and began appearing in theatrical productions and commercials during her childhood.
Her first major film role came at age 12 in Manny & Lo (1996), where she starred alongside Aleksa Palladino. Although she received positive reviews for her performance, it was with Ghost World (2001), based on Daniel Clowes' graphic novel, that Scarlett gained wider recognition. In this film, she played Rebecca, a sarcastic and rebellious teenager, showcasing her ability to portray complex characters even at a young age.
