Vulture released its now annual list of the most valuable movie stars in Hollywood on Tuesday morning, and Robert Downey, Jr. took the No. 1 spot for a second straight year.


The list, which combined numbers for the actors from domestic box office totals, overseas box office totals, studio value, likeability, Oscars, critics' scores, Twitter mentions, and tabloid value, found the "Iron Man" star to be the most valuable actor in Hollywood today.


Dubbed "The King" by the publication, he is followed by Leonardo DiCaprio in second place and Jennifer Lawrence in third place. Rounding out the top five are Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt, filling the No. 4 and No. 5 spots.


This isn't the first tally of his peers that Downey Jr. has topped this year. In July, the 48-year-old star took the title of the highest-paid actor in Hollywood in a list compiled by Forbes.


For the rest of the most valuable movie stars chart, and to see how Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, and Angelina Jolie stack up, head over to Vulture.
