counting down our picks for the top 10
actors who played multiple comic book
characters want to see something cool
yeah before we begin we publish new
content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re looking at
actors who have brought to life more
than one comic book character on the big
screen
and ranking them based on how
high-profile the roles were as well as
how many they’ve had in all the
performances will be taken into account
but not necessarily the quality of the
films themselves number 10 Aaron
taylor-johnson as kick-ass and
Quicksilver the kick-ass franchise and
EMC you know kid what is this I’m
kick-ass hook me up this English actor
first donned the tights in 2010 as the
titular kick-ass in the live-action
adaptation of Mark Miller’s hyper
violent and grounded superhero comic
book of the same name and he did it in
the company of multi character comic
book movie actor Nicolas Cage who went
from Ghost Rider to Big Daddy
you need us put on your website that
you’re on vacation we’ll find him hit
girl dr. hick Wars this was before
Taylor Johnson bulked up and emphasizing
his geekier qualities he made for a
perfect dave Lizewski though as tenor as
Quicksilver in the MCU was sadly
short-lived he nonetheless left a
lasting impression and made a true
hero’s exit he didn’t see that coming
number 9 Tom Hardy as bane and venom The
now what’s the next step of your master
plan crashing this foot after working
with Dark Knight director Christopher
Nolan on inception Tom Hardy was cast as
Bane the villain who broke Batman and he
proved that the character doesn’t need
comic books super steroid venom to be a
speaking of venom party has also gone to
the mantle of the Marvel villain /
antihero in a film that aimed to redeem
the character following the
disappointment of spider-man 3 few
actors can say that they have two
big-name characters of this caliber on
their resume earning Hardy a spot on our
list number 8 Michael B Jordan as Human
Torch and Eric kill monger Stephens
Fantastic Four and the MCU sometimes
things just happen for a reason Charlie
you have no idea what they are planning
to do to you they’re not doing anything
to me I’m doing this with them we should
consider ourselves lucky that Michael B
Jordan was willing to return to the
superhero genre after the mess that was
his first comic book outing in Jordan’s
defense his performance had nothing to
do with Josh Trank’s reboot becoming the
train wreck it did he was actually
enjoyable in the role of Johnny Storm
how about two guys a girl and the thing
that nobody wanted hey we both know that
you could take him what really earned
Jordan a spot on our list however was
his turn in Black Panther as the
prodigal son of Wakanda Erik kill monger
Stevens hey aunty arguably one of the
best and most nuanced villains in the
MCU to date kill monger was physically
imposing stylish and wonderfully complex
Jordan truly delivered the goods with
this role you know telling me that’s
what I need to do ya know I’m just
feeling it
number seven Hugo Weaving as V and Red
Skull V for Vendetta and the MCU verily
this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most
verbose so let me simply add that it’s
my very good honor to meet you and you
may call me V are you like a crazy
person I’m quite sure they will say
seven this English Austrian actor has
mastered the art of playing commanding
characters though perhaps best known as
Agent Smith in the Matrix trilogy he won
the hearts of cinema goers and comic
book lovers alike with his portrayal of
Alan Moore’s heroic and are pissed /
revolutionary be it takes a lot of skill
to deliver a powerful performance from
behind a mask
but he did just that opposite Natalie
Portman – with me
now on the eve of your revolution
ah revolution without dancing is a
revolution not worth having in 2011
however he returned to his villainous
ways playing the arch-nemesis of Captain
America Johann Schmidt / Red Skull he
nailed the menacing deeply evil
character and his appearance post
transformation chilling and straight
number six michelle pfeiffer as Catwoman
and Janet Van Dyne Tim Burton’s Batman
franchise and the MCU meow there’s
something really nice about seeing the
same actor appear in two different comic
book movies that are separated by a
25-year gap with her unforgettable
performance as Catwoman in Tim Burton’s
Batman Returns Michelle Pfeiffer earned
a place in the pantheon of pop culture
icons few poor guys always confusing
your pistols make you flash forward to
2018 and she’s once again bringing a
classic comic book character to life
this time as the original wasp Janet Van
Dyne though it goes without saying
Pfeiffer delivered yet another excellent
performance one of the only criticisms
we have is that Ant Man and the wasp
didn’t give her enough screen time
number five Ben Affleck as daredevil and
Batman daredevil and the DC EU Hell’s
Kitchen is my neighborhood I’m proud the
rooftops and alleyways at night watching
The Darkness forever in darkness poor
Ben Affleck he’s an undeniably talented
actor and director but as far as
superhero movies are concerned he seems
incapable of a homerun daredevil was
sadly released before Hollywood really
figured out a winning formula for
superhero movies though it was generally
disappointing and has aged poorly
despite the devil of Hell’s Kitchen
haunting him he bravely agreed to play
while the films haven’t fared well with
critics and we would have liked to see
better writing behind the character Ben
was honestly excellent as both Batman
and Bruce Wayne number four Michael
Keaton as Batman and vulture Tim
I’m Batman
speaking of actors who did the mantle
with Batman proud how about this
household name Michael Keaton proved
himself to be a worthy Batman and Bruce
Wayne
despite initial public trepidation about
the casting choice let’s get nuts
flash-forward to 2017 and Keaton proved
yet again that he’s got a knack for
bringing comic book characters to life
as far as MCU villains go Keaton’s
vulture was a breath of fresh air I
thought this was the anti-gravity gun
what no that’s that one while most are
trying to take over the world he was
grounded more in earthly everyday
concerns he was a relatable villain made
even more relatable thanks to Keaton’s
believable performance and don’t you
ever ever interfere with my business
again because if you do
I’ll kill you and everybody you love
number three Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal
King Deadpool Green Lantern and Nick
Walker the Blade franchise the x-men
franchise Green Lantern and RIPD oh
hello this Canadian actor doesn’t quit
and he’s got a colorful resume to prove
it but every time he got saddled with a
stinker in the making he nonetheless
turned in a likable performance Reynolds
first appeared as Hannibal King in Blade
Trinities
we’re still trying to sort out fact from
fiction when it comes to Dracula turning
into mist kind of doubt it then in 2009
he played a bastardized version of weed
Wilson in the much-maligned x-men
origins Wolverine only to follow that up
with the colossal bomb that was Green
Lantern Wow then in 2013 he played Nick
Walker in RIPD because hey why not you’d
think he’d have sworn off comic book
movies but he kept pushing for a proper
Deadpool movie and now he’s easily one
of the most beloved actors in the genre
hey it’s me don’t scratch split up the
timelines number 2 Josh Brolin as Jonah
Hex Agent K cable and Thanos Jonah Hex
men in black 3 the x-men franchise and
the MCU we’re gonna level with you this
one kind of snuck up on us Josh Brolin’s
first comic book movie role was a
starring one just not in a very good
film he starred opposite Megan Fox John
Malkovich and Michael Fassbender in a
super weird secondary villain role as
the titular Jonah Hex in a film that
totally tanked Jonah
but then in 2012 she played a young
agent k in the third men in black film
and stepped in to Tommy Lee Jones his
sizeable shoes with remarkable grace no
I know what you look like when you’re
lying don’t you show me what you look
like when you tell the truth it’s in the
MCU and with Fox that he’s made the most
significant impressions however playing
both cable and Thanos in two of 2018 s
biggest comic book movies
[Music]
number one Chris Evans as Human Torch
Casey Jones
Jake Jensen Lucas Lee and Captain
America the Fantastic Four franchise
TMNT the losers Scott Pilgrim vs. the
world and the MCU the only thing keeping
me and her apart is the two minutes it’s
all hail Chris Evans an actor who’s
honestly made a career in the genre
Evans origins in comic book movies might
be humble but however quick you might be
to dismiss Fox’s fantastic four movies
you can’t deny that he made for a
likeable and charming Johnny Storm sort
of Armani Meets astronaut
three years after lending his voice to
Casey Jones in the computer animated
TMNT he played two minor comic-book
characters in the vertigo adaptation the
losers and as an evil ex in Scott
Pilgrim vs. the world before finally
joining the big leagues as none other
Bitola
in the role he has become one of the
most beloved big-screen heroes of our
time Chris Evans we salute your
