By the 2026 season, the comparison is less about a single breakout moment and more about the shape of each actor's accumulated Hollywood results. Domestic theatrical output favors Mark Ruffalo, whose advantage across domestic theatrical releases gives the comparison more long-range context.

The category score gives Mark Ruffalo the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. Overall, the head-to-head score leans leans toward Mark Ruffalo, but the strongest context comes from the categories where the gap is clearest.
