WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It’s funny to think that one of my favourite characters in the whole of the Guardians of the Galaxy films is voiced by an actor that I don’t exactly rate very highly. What’s interesting is that the films show a long friendship between Groot and Rocket which is true, …
Before They Were Marvel-ous Heroes
Sprite AKA Lia McHugh
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It will be pretty obvious from the following article that Lia McHugh did very little before taking on the role of Sprite in The Eternals where she acted alongside some rather big names in the acting world. Funnily enough before the film, Sprite was depicted as male in the …
Falcon AKA Anthony Mackie
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Writing this article I actually found out something quite interesting and that is the fact that Falcon is the first black superhero to appear in a mainstream comic books! What’s funny about this for me is that, even though it genuinely happens in the comics, people were outraged by …
Adam AKA Will Poulter
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers This may be another one where people will disagree with me regarding whether he is a hero or not but hear me out. Yes, Adam is created and then sent to destroy the Guardians of the Galaxy. HOWEVER! In the end, at least in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 …
Star Lord AKA Chris Pratt
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Here’s something I didn’t know – in Guardians of the Galaxy, the writers had actually changed Peter Quill’s (AKA Star Lord) backstory.

The …
The Thing AKA Jamie Bell
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I have a confession! I have never actually seen the version of Fantastic Four where Jamie Bell plays the Thing but I did have my reservations based on a personal comparison between him and Michael Chiklis who had played the same character previously. Snowpiercer I’m not going to …
Blade AKA Mahershala Ali
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I actually never thought I would be writing another article about an actor playing Blade, as I always thought Wesley Snipes would be it. However, it seems that Blade is being brought into the MCU along with many other characters and maybe Wesley is a little too old now. …
Nebula AKA Karen Gillan
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Interestingly, throughout the comic books – Nebula is actually seen as a villain whereas in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (which is what we are specifically focusing on here) she is more of an anti-hero, changing from one of Thanos’ lackeys to siding with her adopted sister as one of …
Druig AKA Barry Keoghan
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I was trying to find out exactly who Druig was in the comic books and it seems not much is actually known about him other than he is Ikaris’ cousin (that wasn’t mentioned in the film…) and worked for the KGB…does this make Barry Keoghan’s Irish accent out of …
