Actors Who Are Making Amazing Comebacks In 2025

Hollywood doesn’t have a very short memory, but in 2025, it’s been surprisingly generous to the stars we thought were done and forgotten… forever. Whether it was a Netflix revival, a surprise blockbuster, or just solid acting in something that didn’t go straight to the far backend of YouTube, a few familiar faces have quietly (or loudly) clawed their way back into relevance. Some were ‘90s icons you probably haven’t thought about since the dial-up era. Others took breaks that turned into long sabbaticals. Either way, they’re back. Some are stronger than ever, while others are still dusting off the rust. Here are 10 actors who made comebacks in 2025.

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson is back. And this time, she’s not running in a bikini in slow motion on Californian beaches. If you’ve even touched a screen in the last few weeks, you’ve probably seen her on social media and television. But this isn’t the Baywatch star from the ’90s. This is a confident, makeup-free Pamela who’s fully leaning into her age, and honestly, she’s never looked better. Fans are eating it up, and Hollywood seems to be, too. After teaming up with Liam Neeson for the Naked Gun reboot, the two formed a tight bond, both on and off set. It’s not just a comeback. It’s a beautiful transformation, and Pamela is owning every minute of it.

Demi Moore

Demi Moore quietly stepped away from the limelight to focus on family, but now, in her 60s, she’s come roaring back with a performance that reminded everyone why she once ruled the box office. The Substance (2024) isn’t just another entry on her IMDb page. It’s a career reset. The film snagged her a Best Actress Oscar nomination and a pile of awards. That’s no small feat for someone who hadn’t headlined a major film in years. While Moore could ride the momentum into every franchise going, she’s taking her time. Two films are in the works, but when you’re Demi Moore, you get to choose.

Uma Thurman

Uma Thurman kept a low profile through the early 2020s, mostly sticking to smaller roles or smaller films. Then 2025 hit, and suddenly she’s everywhere. From The King of Kings to The Old Guard 2, Dexter: Resurrection, and Ballerina Overdrive, Uma’s back in full force. If you wrote off the Kill Bill star, it’s time to reconsider. She’s proving why she’s still one of the best. Now, the real question: when will she and Quentin Tarantino team up again? Because we all know that magic hasn’t lost its spark.

Guy Pearce

Earlier this year, Guy Pearce shared a wild story: a studio exec told his agent, “I’m never going to employ Guy Pearce,” blocking him from Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Prestige. But guess what? That didn’t kill his career. Pearce quietly kept busy with smaller films like The Convert and Sunrise, plus TV hits like Mare of Easttown. Then came The Brutalist, winning him a Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor and reminding Hollywood they missed out. Now, Pearce is juggling new projects, like The Woman in Cabin 10, The Dog Stars, and Killing Faith. He’s so back in 2025.

Ariana Grande

It’s wild to think Ariana Grande hadn’t starred in a film since Don’t Look Up in 2021. While fans were busy streaming her albums, she was quietly lining up a massive screen comeback. Wicked turned out to be the rocket fuel. Now, with Wicked: For Good landing in 2025 and Focker In-Law (yes, that Meet the Parents sequel) coming in 2026, she’s fully re-entered the Hollywood chat. And if the casting rumours are true, don’t be shocked when she pops up in a Star Wars trilogy or joins the MCU. Ariana is building a cinematic universe of her own.

Angelina Jolie

After Eternals fizzled in 2021, Angelina Jolie seemed content staying off the radar, focusing on parenting and making the occasional red carpet appearance. But 2024’s Maria flipped the script. Her performance landed her a Best Actress nomination at the 82nd Golden Globes, and just like that, Jolie was back on every studio’s call sheet. Up next? Couture, a drama from Alice Winocour that sounds like the kind of serious role Jolie thrives in. So if you thought she’d retired the heels and eyeliner, think again. Jolie’s comeback is looking very intentional.

Jonathan Majors

Jonathan Majors went from Hollywood’s next big thing to headlines no actor wants. After Lovecraft Country, Creed III, and his Marvel run as Kang, his career hit a wall when he was convicted for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Marvel cut ties, projects paused, and the internet had opinions. In 2025, however, he’s quietly staging a comeback with the release of Magazine Dreams and Merciless in post-production. He’s also been showing face at public events with wife Meagan Good. Will audiences welcome him back? That’s the million-dollar question, and one the box office might answer soon enough.

Kevin Spacey

Once a Hollywood heavyweight, Kevin Spacey’s career nosedived after multiple sexual harassment allegations. Cancelled and cast out, he vanished from major productions. But in 2025, Spacey’s slowly creeping back into the frame. He’s starring in The Contract (with Eric Roberts), directing and appearing in Holiguards, and has three more projects in post-production. He’s also more visible online and getting support from a few actor friends. Whether this qualifies as a full-blown comeback is still up for debate, but Spacey isn’t done trying.

Gary Sinise

After stepping away from Hollywood in 2019 to care for his son, McCanna “Mac” Sinise, who tragically passed away from chordoma cancer in 2024, Forrest Gump star Gary Sinise might finally be ready to return. In a recent interview, the beloved actor said he’s open to new roles if the timing and project are right. And it looks like one might already be locked in. IMDB has him listed in an upcoming war drama, No Better Place to Die. With more interviews and public appearances, the Hollywood vet could be gearing up for a quiet but powerful return.

Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp’s courtroom wins didn’t change much for the actor. The public feud with Amber Heard cost him major studio support. Warner Bros. and Disney pulled back fast. While fans still stand by him, Depp’s been mostly absent from big screens lately. That shifts in 2025. Depp is set to play Satan in The Carnival at the End of Days and lead Marc Webb’s Day Drinker. After years of quiet, he’s ready to claim the spotlight again.
