Favorite Christ-Like Figure Movies [21st Century]

Both, these cinematic answer pools are limited to one Christ-like figure per media franchise with multiple Christ-like figures from the same series being consolidated into a single representative answer choice.
Acording to Wikipedia, "... a Christ figure, also known as a Christ-Image, is a literary technique that the author uses to draw allusions between their characters and the biblical Jesus. More loosely, the Christ figure is a spiritual or prophetic character who parallels Jesus, or other spiritual or prophetic figures.
In general, a character should display more than one correspondence with the story of Jesus Christ as depicted in the Bible. For instance, the character might display one or more of the following traits: performance of miracles, manifestation of divine qualities, healing others, displaying kindness and forgiveness, fighting for justice, being guided by the spirit of the father character, and the character's own death and resurrection. Christ figures are often martyrs, sacrificing themselves for larger causes."

How about Robert DeNiro in The Mission? He is put on a cross and send down a river and over the falls while working as a Christian missionary in South America a few hundred years ago.
