Note: Films released during the selected year influence the following year's rankings.

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. The category score gives Robert Downey Jr. the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

Domestic theatrical output favors Robert Downey Jr., whose advantage across domestic theatrical releases gives the comparison more long-range context. From a historical perspective, the matchup leans toward Robert Downey Jr. and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
