LOS ANGELES - After coming sixth in the 2016 ranking, actress Gal Gadot knocked fellow actress Margot Robbie off the top spot. Gadot, who plays the title role in the box-office hit “Wonder Woman,” comes ahead of Tom Hardy, up from fourth to second place, and Emilia Clarke from “Game of Thrones,” who drops to third.

The rest of the ranking comprises lesser-known, often upcoming stars who piqued the interest of curious web users during the year, such as Alexandra Daddario from “Baywatch”, Swedish actor Bill Skarsgard, who played Pennywise the clown in “It”, or Dan Stevens from “Beauty and the Beast”.

2017’s top 10 has a three-quarters female line-up, completed by French actresses Pom Klementieff (Mantis in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”) and Sofia Boutella (“The Mummy”), Cuban actress Ane de Armas (“Blade Runner 2049”) and Australian actress Katherine Langford from Netflix series “13 Reasons Why”.

Rather than using industry critics, box-office performance or official data, IMDb’s annual ranking of top stars is based on actual page views on the IMDb website, which gets 250 million monthly unique visitors.

IMDb’s top 10 stars of 2017:

1. Gal Gadot

2. Tom Hardy

4. Alexandra Daddario

5. Bill Skarsgard

6. Pom Klementieff
