12. Emma Watson
How could we forget the adorable and yet frighteningly mature role that Emma Watson played in the Harry Potter films as the brainy and brave Hermione Granger? Watson spent most of her childhood and teenage years dedicated to the magical film franchise, but she has gone on to make a magnificent name for herself in Hollywood and humanitarianism as an adult. Her HeForShe campaign was revolutionary for modern feminism, as was her part as Belle in Disney’s live-action reboot of Beauty and the Beast.

11. Gal Gadot
The latest Wonder Woman film would not be the same without the heroic efforts of Gal Gadot when she was chosen to be DC’s leading superhero. The 2004 Miss Israel is a humble and inspiring woman that went from a member of the Israel Defense Force as a young woman to a Hollywood and fashion superstar. In 2018, Gal was recognized in Time’s 100 Most Influential People list. We are so excited to see her reprise her role in the next Wonder Woman epic!
