You can say many did if they had some sort of event that made them popular after they appeared.

For my list (not including what you already mentioned):

Darth Vader for Rogue One

Abe Lincoln for his Spielberg film

Lady Gaga still had music going out

Macho Man and Kim Jong-il passed away, Hogan had controversy that got him fired

Like Lincoln, Hawking had his own acclaimed film

I suppose Gandalf was still a thing for the Hobbit trilogy

Kirk kinda had spikes from the new Star Trek movies

I don't think the newer Mario games boosted the Mario Bros' already enormous fame as it did to just make him trending again among gamers

Doc Brown and the Doctor got bigger in popularity on 10/21/15 and 10/23/13, respectively

Eastwood still made movies after he was used, but that's more known if you're a big film fanatic

Batfleck's fame probably didn't get as big as Bale's

Putin is definitely more known now than he was before, mainly for his relationship with Trump

Ali had his death

Kanye as a celebrity is more or less the same, with increases from his music

Grimes is kinda up there, but I think TWD is going down a bit for viewers

Superman had the same deal as Batman due to Dawn of Justice, but his wasn't as big

The Ghostbusters reboot wasn't really as much of a big deal at the time the battle came out as it was a year after it, so I'd say the group got more known later on (same with Mythbusters due to the show ending recently)

And that's pretty much it.

I suppose Thor (Marvel version at least) and Banner/Hulk will get more attention for Ragnarok, and same for James Bond in the next of his film (which I think is the last one for Daniel Craig)
