Pornhub exposes most searched for movie characters in 2025 annual review
Prepare your best porn puns because Pornhub's annual Year in Review is here, and it’s getting down and dirty with some of your favorite pop culture IPs.
Believe it or not, porn parodies of everything from Titanic to Ghostbusters, A Nightmare Before Christmas to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been immortalized in the world of pornography. Names like Forrest Hump, As*venture Time, and Jurassic Pork are some of our favorites, but while these are largely individual ventures, the popularity of pop culture porn on Pornhub is also big business.
As people's tastes change, LADbible's 'For F**k's Sake' campaign has tried to break down some of the myths and stigmas surrounding online pornography. With 77% of Gen Z internet users saying they watch porn, Pornhub's recent troubles with age verification laws don't seem to be having as much of an effect as the world's most-viewed adult entertainment site feared.
It's that time of year when we ignore our Spotify Wrapped and stop dreaming of TikTok Wrapped, because Pornhub's own Year in Review is all anyone is talking about.

While the top search results remain largely unchanged from 2025, our video game, movie, and TV tastes have evolved this year. Pornhub itself writes: "It’s incredibly common for pop culture events to shape people’s interests in porn. You don’t need to look any further than movies and video game characters to see for yourself how these trends shape search behaviors on Pornhub."
Still, you might struggle to understand where some of this year's top searches have come from.
A bit like Ross Gellar in Friends, it seems many of you still have a soft spot for Princess Leia. Star Wars has climbed one place to rule the galaxy as Pornhub's most popular movie or TV category.
There weren't a lot of 'sexy' Star Wars releases in 2025, with the war crimes of Andor season 2 hardly screaming sex appeal. Elsewhere, there was a Star Wars Outlaws DLC, Star Wars Visions season 3, and a Revenge of the Sith anniversary rerelease, suggesting that the galaxy far, far away's porn prowess comes from simple brand longevity.
Coming in hot in second place is Spider-Man, which has leaped a whopping nine places. We again don't know why Spider-Man has had a pornographic resurgence, considering there haven't been any major releases.
Still, as the maligned Madame Web came out since the last Year in Review, could you be ogling Sydney Sweeney's Spider-Woman in the movie? If not, maybe Tom Holland leaping around in a spandex suit is doing it for you as he gets ready for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Third place goes to Game of Thrones, which remains unchanged from 2024. You might've hated the show's final season, but with House of the Dragon season 2 coming out in 2024, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms coming out in January 2025, you can't get enough of fantasizing about those blonde Targaryens.
It's a fall from grace for Harley Quinn into fourth place, and despite winning the heart of the Joker, she's dropped out of favor with fans and lost her top spot from last year. Harry Potter rounds off the top five, but the less we say about that being a franchise largely dominated by young characters, the better.
Even though Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff died back in Avengers: Endgame, Black Widow is sixth, Wonder Woman takes seventh as we wait for her to be recast in the DCU, and Elastagirl (yes, from The Incredibles) leaps seven places into eighth.
Giving us a Top 10, Catwoman slips into something slinky for ninth, and the Power Rangers are back together for No. 10.
Others getting your pulses racing include Wolverine, Marvel's Black Cat, and Star Wars' Padmé, although some seemingly obscure IPs have cracked the Top 30. We're not sure who has been searching for the following, but with SpongeBob, Hulk, and Shrek all making the cut, you definitely have some varied tastes.
