WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’m going to start off by saying, and I’m sure it won’t be the last time in this article, but when Jeremy Renner was cast as Hawkeye – I genuinely had no idea who he was. Now, I’m not saying this as negative because I quite liked having the …
Before They Were Marvel-ous Heroes
Ajak AKA Salma Hayek
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers As this is the first of the Eternals actors I’ll be talking about, I just want to say that actually had never heard of the character Ajak before, or any of the others to be completely honest. In a way I’m glad because it meant that I had no …
Spider-Man AKA Tom Holland
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers A little fact that you may or may not know in terms of Tom Holland as Spider-Man, specifically when it comes to Avengers: Infinity War, is that the line ‘I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go, Mr. Stark…’ was completely improvised. Now, that scene makes me …
Captain Marv-El AKA Brie Larsson
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers For me, Brie Larsson – much like her character of Captain Marv-El – was an unknown quantity. This isn’t a negative though, as I think sometimes if I know the actor before they take on a specific hero role I can be quick to judge how good or bad …
Captain America AKA Chris Evans
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Now, I know what you’re all going to say and that’s that Captain America isn’t the first Marvel hero that Chris Evans has played because he was the original Flame Boy (of my generation anyway). However, Captain America is the more significant role of the two and he made …
Wolfsbane AKA Maisie Williams
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I think I better get this out of the way here and now as I can’t write an article about Maisie Williams without mentioning Game of Thrones. Like another actress included in the ‘Before They Were Marvel-ous Heroes’ section of this blog, this is where Maisie’s career began – …
Vision AKA Paul Bettany
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers The beauty of casting Paul Bettany as Vision is that from Iron Man until Avengers: Age of Ultron, he was the voice of J.A.R.V.I.S (Just Another Rather Very Intelligent System, what an original name). For those who don’t know, he is the internal system in all of Tony Stark’s …
Ant-Man AKA Paul Rudd
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers A little like Ryan Reynolds, Paul Rudd is known for his comedy roles. However, unlike Reynolds, it’s rather hard to avoid comedy films because his career seems to be proliferated with them. When he’s not playing the lead role, I would say that Rudd seems to more of …
Venom AKA Tom Hardy
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers This is possibly the only superhero film where the hero looks awful for the majority of the film (except for maybe Deadpool but let’s not talk about that face too much), no offence Tom. Like I’ve said before, I don’t need any excuse to watch a Tom Hardy film …
Elektra AKA Jennifer Garner
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Jennifer Garner first starred as Elektra in Daredevil in 2003. It’s pretty funny that every time it shown on TV, I always end up catching it from the same fight scene of her’s with Evanescene’s Bring Me to Life playing the background – and I have never seen the …
