12. Chris Hemsworth as Thor

Thor was one of the best representations of a Marvel character in the MCU. He played three different kinds of Thor in each solo movie (arrogant, compassionate, and goofy) and then played his part as the hero and savior in each of the Avengers movies. Even though the first two Thor movies aren’t looked at as classics, Hemsworth will be regarded as the actor people think about when they think of the God of Thunder. Hemsworth has something about him (besides his looks), where he always seems to have memorable moments in any MCU project.

11. Chloë Grace Moretz as Hit-Girl

Remember the first time you heard Chloë Grace Moretz swear and you laughed hysterically? Now, remember when she started swearing with a purpose and you were memorized by how great she was? Go back and watch Kick-Ass again. Those feelings will still be there. She was hilarious as the sweet little girl and even funnier when she showed the Mean Girls wannabes that they should watch who they mess with.

Put the cursing aside and just look at how she reacted to her father dying. It takes a special kind of person to immediately go from one emotion in a movie to the next. Chloë gave a hardcore movie a softer side – even if it was only for a little while. Chloë Grace Moretz was easily the best part of both Kick-Ass movies and she wasn’t even the star. Kick-Ass will go down like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World as a movie that never got it’s due. The sequel may not have done well in theaters, but Chloë Grace Moretz was probably the reason people paid money to see it.
