Top 10 Movie Franchises with the Most Beloved Characters
Some people have the wrong idea that big blockbuster franchises are only about the special effects and fights.However, many franchises offer compelling stories and characters that audiences deeply connect with. In fact, several of the most successful franchises owe their popularity to their ensemble of actors and the characters they portray. This connection is the real driving force behind the love for big action blockbusters.
Here are the biggest blockbuster franchises with the most beloved characters.

It's the '70s trilogy that holds the whole thing together and has the best characters, including Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, and Princess Leia.
Later, in the prequels, came Obi-Wan, but the most adored characters in this franchise are the ones from the first trilogy.

This franchise lasted 10 years, and kids literally grew up with the characters.
The main Harry Potter characters started as kids and, in the last film, all became young adults. It gives the fan base a nostalgic feeling, knowing they grew up alongside the characters as they went from kids to young adults.
I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but I give credit where it's due. This is a franchise with a lot of beloved characters.

The future of Marvel will remain strong, even though Endgame defined a conclusion to the Avengers franchise. There is so much diversity within the Marvel Cinematic Universe in terms of characters, which is why I love Marvel. Fan or not, people will still watch Marvel movies for the fun and excitement. Every character has a unique personality.
Very few franchises have so many characters, all adored by fans. We all have our personal favorites, but the rich diversity in personalities and abilities makes this franchise one of the most successful in film history.


Soon, they will be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but for a long time, they were a separate Marvel franchise. It was a very successful one with many beloved characters like Jean Grey, Cyclops, Wolverine, Mystique, Magneto, and Professor X.

No franchise has lasted longer than this one. We've had The EON James Bond franchise since the '60s, with six different actors portraying Bond so far.
It's a franchise that sells adventure, luxury, and great gadgets for technology lovers.
James Bond is the character every girl wants to be with and every guy wants to be.



This franchise is much more targeted at young girls, and it's all because the series has a young, very strong heroine that girls look up to.
Thanks to Katniss, young girls had a franchise to watch for about three years.

Another big action franchise with a lot of beloved characters.
It may be the equivalent of fast food when it comes to films, but the new generation loves this and its characters. They must be doing something right.
The Newcomers



The characters might not be that great, but they were definitely beloved by thousands of teenagers for about four years. It was all about being Team Jacob or Team Edward. This franchise was definitely popular because of the characters the girls loved at that time.

This one should be obvious. You've got Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah, Rodan, Anguirus, and more. Need I go on?
