Oscar Isaac – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · May 11, 2026

Oscar Isaac’s career splits into two halves: the intense character work of Inside Llewyn Davis and Ex Machina, and the blockbuster franchise runs that made him a household name. A Most Violent Year, Annihilation and Dune extend the first half, The Card Counter has a disciplined gambler disrupted by a young man seeking revenge, X-Men: Apocalypse recruits four horsemen, Robin Hood casts him as Prince John, and The Rise of Skywalker closes the Skywalker saga. The Force Awakens rounds out the list.
