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 …
Before They Were Marvel-ous Heroes
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 …
Beast AKA Nicholas Hoult
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I am slightly posting this the wrong way around as technically I should have given you all an article on Kelsey Grammer beforehand as he played Beast first. However, I think it works this way around as well as Hoult played the young Beast. Truthfully, in the cartoons Beast …
Magneto AKA Michael Fassbender
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’m probably going to say this again when I talk about James McAvoy but I honestly could not imagine a better choice to play a young Magneto. However, I know that is a natural thing to say when someone plays a role so well, Keanu Reeves and Neo for …
Valkyrie AKA Tessa Thompson
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I know I’m going to say this very often I’m sure but I absolutely love the fact that creators of the MCU have been choosing relatively unknown actors for roles. Like all the characters in the Thor universe, they are based on characters from Norse mythology. Valkyrie was inspired …
