The 2025 Topps Chrome Marvel Studios autographs checklist is massive. Nearly 120 actors signed for the set, going back to the earliest days of the MCU through to The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Some massive names are on the list including Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Haille Steinfeld, Chris Evans, Natalie Portman, Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd.
With a list this large, it shouldn't be surprising that there are some fresh signers as well. Here are 15 actors who have never signed for a Marvel movie set but are in 2025 Topps Chrome Marvel Studios. For several of these stars, these are their first autographed trading cards of any kind.
One of the most prolific actresses of the last 25 years, 2025 Topps Chrome Marvel Studios has the very first Charlize Theron autograph cards, MCU or otherwise.
The Best Actress winner at the 2004 Academy Awards for Monster, Theron has two more Oscar nominations in the years since. Appearing in dozens of films, the A-lister's other credits include Mad Max: Fury Road, The Italian Job, Atomic Blonde and the last three Fast and the Furious films.
Like Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow has been one of Hollywood's biggest stars for decades, both critically and commercially. She won an Oscar in 1999 for Shakespeare in Love. Se7en, The Royal Tenenbaums, Shallow Hal and The Talented Mr. Ripley are among her other notable films.
In more recent years, her work on the big screen has slowed somewhat as Paltrow has become an author and entrepreneur as well.
This is the first set with Paltrow autographs.
Harrison Ford is one of the most iconic actors of all-time. Playing both Han Solo and Indiana Jones, his work will live on for as long as people are watching movies.
He made the jump to the MCU in Captain America: Brave New World. Now with 2025 Topps Chrome Marvel Studios, his signature will be jumping into a new franchise as well.
Ford has autographs in several Star Wars releases dating back to 2007. His other signed trading card appearances include a couple of Indiana Jones rarities.
Perhaps best known for playing the lead in the Creed films, which carry on the Rocky franchise, Michael B. Jordan is one of the most dependable stars in Hollywood today.
He first gained attention on the small screen in Friday Night Lights. This past year, Jordan starred in Sinners, one of the biggest hits of 2025.
Before 2025 Topps Chrome Marvel Studios, Jordan's only other autograph cards were in celebrity-focused releases.
While she has appeared in a few blockbusters over the years, Cate Blanchett is more often found in smaller films. The two-time Academy Award winner ranks up there with the best ever.
While this marks her first set with MCU autographs, Blanchett has signed for Topps before for another major franchise, The Lord of the Rings. She signed for both The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers more than two decades ago.
Pedro Pascal might be the biggest actor on the planet right now. Besides taking the role of Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in Fantastic Four, he's been a lead on two of the small screen's biggest shows of the last several years, The Mandalorian and The Last of Us.
Pascal has also appeared in Game of Thrones, Gladiator II, Wonder Woman 1984 and Narcos.
The Chilean star has several Star Wars and some recent Game of Thrones autographs already.
After several years on the cusp of superstardom, it appears that Vanessa Kirby has arrived. She's gained plenty of acclaim in the last decade, locking up both Academy Award and Emmy nominations.
Before Fantastic Four, Kirby was probably best known for playing Princess Margaret in Netflix's The Crown. She was also in Mission: Impossible - Fallout and Hobbs & Shaw, the Fast and the Furious spinoff.
Kirby has no other autograph cards.
Most actors hope for one iconic role. Julia Louis-Dryfus has two, Elaine Benes from Seinfeld and Selina Meyer in Veep.
She has since moved over to the MCU, playing Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in several films including Thunderbolts*.
Louis-Dreyfus signed for a couple of pop culture releases more than a decade ago but nothing since.
Over the course of nearly 40 years, Benicio del Toro has been one of the chameleon-like actors who can shift from a cheesy action movie to an art house showcase to a Hollywood blockbuster with ease. And no matter the role, he has a knack for standing out no matter who he is standing across from.
While his screen time in Guardians of the Galaxy was somewhat limited, he reprised his role as The Collector in the spinoff Disneyland attraction, Mission Breakout, playing a more central part for the thousands who board the thrill ride each day.
Del Toro's varied roles include parts in Sicario, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Traffic, Snatch, Licence to Kill and Big Top Pee Wee.
The actor's signature has appeared in a few Star Wars sets in the last couple of years, but in limited numbers.
Emilia Clarke is no stranger to autograph cards. With roles in Game of Thrones and Star Wars, she has been a key signer in several sets already. Typically, though, the actress is one of the tougher autographs in the products she is in.
With no full release for the Secret Invasion limited series, this marks Clarke's first time signing for a Marvel set.
Another actor who has been big for decades but not necessarily in films that get trading cards is Jude Law. He's been nominated for two Best Actor Academy Awards including one opposite Paltrow in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Law finally signed cards after starring in the Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew and is now making the jump to the MCU.
Superman has Marvel autographs. Henry Cavill is no stranger to the super hero genre after playing the Man of Steel in several movies over in the DC Expanded Universe.
He was one of many surprises in the multi-verse-spanning Deadpool & Wolverine.
Cavill signed for one set several years ago in conjunction with a DC release.
After a breakout role in Lethal Weapon 3, Rene Russo went on to become one of Hollywood's biggest actresses of the 1990s. In the Line of Fire, Ransom, Get Shorty, Tin Cup and Outbreak are among her hits.
Russo is no stranger to baseball movies with roles in Major League, Major League II and Mr. Destiny.
While many of Thor's main stars have signed in the past, Russo did not—until now.
Winning an Oscar in 2017 was an acknowledgment of sorts for Rockwell who has been one of the most versatile and charismatic actors in Hollywood for a very long time. Although not typically the lead when it comes to big-budget blockbusters, he often manages to steal the show wherever he's cast. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Galaxy Quest and The Green Mile are some of the films he's appeared in.
And for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans, Rockwell was also Head Thug in the original live-action film.
Paul Walter Hauser is one of those actors that seems to be popping up everywhere over the last couple of years. Since a breakout role in I, Tonya, his credits include Cruella, Cobra Kai and an Emmy for Black Bird. Hauser has even been known to step into the professional wrestling ring from time to time.
