Fandango has released the results of a fan poll to see which comic book character’s 2016 cinematic debut is most anticipated by fans.

Topping the list is Wonder Woman, played by Gal Gadot in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. This should come as no surprise, as fans have long said that the most iconic of female superheroes, and a part of the DC Comics superhero Trinity, is overdue for an appearance on screen. She’ll follow up her 2016 debut with a Wonder Woman solo film in 2017.

The poll’s runner up is Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds. Deadpool has a cult of fans who lobbied hard for Twentieth Century Fox to put the Deadpool movie into production, and their voices are heard in this poll as well. They, and Fandango, also seem to have used selective memory and chosen to forget that Deadpool already debuted, with the same actor, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009 (Not that we can blame them. We wish we could forget too).

Rounding out the top three is Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbiein Suicide Squad. Harley became a fan favorite as the Joker’s romantic sidekick in Batman: The Animated Series, and the two twisted supervillains continued their romance in the DC Comics Universe. The romance has been on the rocks for a while now, and Suicide Squad will give us a chance to see the ramifications of that on screen.

Aquaman (Jason Momoa in Batman v. Superman), Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange), and Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman in Captain America: Civil War) make up the remainder of the Fandango list.
