Tom Holland also makes the list, placing in sixth with an average gross of £127 million across his 15 leading roles. As well as his leading roles in the upcoming Uncharted movie, The Impossible and Onward, his most notable role is as the new Spiderman in the Marvel franchise with the highly anticipated ‘No Way Home’ due to be released in December.

Also making the list is Benedict Cumberbatch, with an average gross of £121 million across his 16 leading roles, making him the UK’s eighth most bankable male film star. In addition to his leading roles in ‘The Imitation Game’, ‘Star Trek’ and ‘The Hobbit’ he is most notably known for playing Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He most recently starred in Oscars frontrunner ‘The Power of the Dog’ alongside Kirsten Dunst, which released in early November to UK audiences on Netflix.

Commenting on the findings, a spokesperson from Poker Listings said: “It’s fascinating to see veteran actors like Andy Serkis appear on the list alongside younger actors like Tom Holland and Daniel Kaluuya. This not only shows the raw talent of the UK film industry, but also a promising future ahead of the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic. With box office records always being broken, we can expect these numbers to grow even more across the next few years.”
