FromTop Gun: MavericktoEverything Everywhere All At Once, it was an incredible time for adrenaline-filled thrill fests.
It wasn’t just action movies that had a great year, though, but also action characters.
10Jake Sully ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’
TheAvatarmovies need no introduction.
Particularly notThe Way of Water, what with theAvatarsequel breaking box office recordslike they’re nothing.
8Naru ‘Prey’
Preytook fans of thePredatorfranchise by storm when it was released in the summer.
Aside from having nail-biting suspense and visually striking action scenes,Preytook an unconventional coming-of-ageapproach that suited it perfectly.

Naru is the perfect protagonist of aPredatormovie: An absolute badass that’s ridiculously fun to watch in action.
However, Namor fromBlack Panther: Wakanda Foreveris undoubtedlyone of the best antagonists of Phase 4.
From a movie full of great elements, this character is definitely one of the standouts.
The whole ensemble of characters is great, led by the fascinating prince Amleth.
It’s not just Davis’s performance that’s stunning, though.
What more can you ask from an action movie hero?
2Bruce Wayne ‘The Batman’
Depictions of Batman on film tend to be pretty hit-or-miss.
Thankfully,Matt ReevesandRobert Pattinson’s version of the character is by far one of the best.
There’s nothing not to love about these characters and their dynamic.
