Alicia Vikander – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · March 23, 2026

Alicia Vikander won her Oscar the same year she played a superintelligent android in Ex Machina, a range that’s defined her career since. Tomb Raider has her as Lara Croft in a survival-thriller origin story, Blue Bayou has an American adoptee facing deportation, and Submergence and Euphoria are quieter dramas. Jason Bourne, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., A Royal Affair and The Danish Girl round out the list.
