Live Poll: Most Iconic Lead Actor in Movie Franchises

@BonaFideBOSS​ 

A good choice, with both of them starring in films that also make history.

Tough list.

I'd likely go with either Jackman, Downey Jr, or Ford

@NYVKE​ 

Okay, I'm using that term, "Franchise"

It says "lead"

So LOTR does not work for Serkis.

Apes does though.

@jaf_ismael I know, but Serkis in Apes uses CGI, that's what keeps me from putting it on the list.

Bronson added

@NYVKE​ done, thanks.

Please edit the question to:

Who is your favorite of these most iconic lead actors in movie franchises?

@khadafimahfud8 ,

At one time, IMDb had character pages. Sadly, in 2018, IMDb deprecated character pages, character lists and character polls. This is a capture by the Internet Archive for the James Bond character page:

The Wikipedia article on James Bond is also helpful:

I personally agree that Connery is and always will be the quintessential Bond. Even among the more recent Bonds, I think Craig is overrated and Brosnan was better.

Having said that, many younger viewers may not have seen all the Bond films, and the Craig incarnation epitomises the character for them.

Just an alternate viewpoint.

@dan_dassow​ 

I include Craig because this century he is playing the current James Bond character, not that is better than all past James Bond characters, Craig only represents to the list, if all the characters playing in the James Bond franchise are included in this list, it is better to make a special list for each character in the Bond franchise.

After all, regarding James Bond characters, some people have their own opinions about so many James Bond franchise characters, so to maximize the list to reach 35 options, this list of the most iconic lead actors must be one representative for one franchise, so Craig is the last character at this time.

Yes, it's very difficult to choose, I need time to decide, but if I think I will choose Sylvester Stallone, because the franchise films he starred in apart from being an actor, he also works behind the scenes as a Rocky writer, and he returned with the Rocky Balboa film project as a director, maybe I see from the face of the struggle of a Stallone's life, and when I was little the names of the characters Rambo and Rocky were very coveted in my surroundings.

All the actors on this list are very iconic.
