WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Interestingly, the comic book character of Gamora was used as a weapon by Thanos, however what is not revealed in the film is that his main plan for her was to assassinate Adam Warlock – the character played by Will Poulter in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. The …
Before They Were Marvel-ous Heroes
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 …
Nick Fury AKA Samuel L. Jackson
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers This may seem a little out of left field for a lot of people as the majority of these articles have been about the marvel superheroes. However, you would not have The Avengers if it wasn’t for Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D so I think in a weird way he …
Winter Soldier AKA Sebastian Stan
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers So, I know a lot of people are probably going to have questions over Winter Soldier’s inclusion as a Marvel hero but hear me out on this one. Yes, in his first appearance you may consider him a villain however, you need to consider that he isn’t doing what …
Blade AKA Wesley Snipes
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It’s funny to think that the red shirt and long leather coat that was worn by Wesley Snipes throughout the films, wasn’t Blade’s original look. You’ll find images of him with an afro, wearing a lime green jacket and bandolier of stakes – I don’t think this would have …
Jean Grey AKA Famke Janssen
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I remember watching X-Men for the first time growing up and felt that Jean Grey was such a strong character, especially once she becomes the Phoenix in the last film (a part of the story I feel they messed up a little in latter films but that’s a discussion …
Hulk AKA Mark Ruffalo
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers OK, so it looks like if I’m going to cover all 3 actors that have played the Hulk then just like Spider-Man I’ll be working backwards starting with the most recent (and in my opinion, possibly the best). I think Ruffalo brought a lot more the role and truthfully …
