Do you know that some actors have had the opportunity to play two distinct superheroes on screen? From Chris Evan to Ryan Reynolds, double power with these ace actors in two superhero roles is more distinctive than you know

We all have a knack for superhero movies. Imagine your favorite superheroes in their best form. As Captain America, no one can replace Chris Evans. As for Batman, the only face that comes to our mind is that of Ben Affleck. To be able to portray the role of a superhero on screen is a privilege and every actor always has a desire to don a cape, fly around and save people. And so many Hollywood actors have donned the cape, not once but twice in their career. Well, what can we say about their desire coming true more than once on screen! Here’s a list of those Hollywood superheroes, and trust us, the list isn’t even close to being complete. 

Hollywood megastars like Chris Evans and Ryan Reynolds are only a few names on the list of double superheroes. Double power, with these ace actors in two superhero roles, is more distinctive than you know.  

 1) Chris Evans as Human Torch and Captain America

Today, it’s difficult to picture anybody other than Chris Evans as Steve Rogers aka Captain America. But can you imagine your very own Captain America doing wonders as another superhero?

Well, if you remember right, Chris Evans also starred as Johny Storm/ Human Torch in Fox’s Fantastic Four. In another news, Chris Evans was actually apprehensive about playing another superhero character for Marvel, while signing for Captain America. All we have to say is, thank God he did. 

 

2) Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Green Lantern

Ryan Reynolds has had a long and fine career in cinema, but his part as Wade Wilson in the Deadpool franchise is arguably his most well-known. The actor has already appeared in the Green Lantern film in 2011, so this wasn’t his first time playing a comic book hero. Green Lantern/Hal Jordan is one of the most well-known DC characters of all time, as he was the first Lantern to appear on the screen. 

 3) Ben Affleck as Batman and Daredevil

 

Ben Affleck has his own history with superhero films. Daredevil, his initial debut as a superhero in 2003, unfortunately, set the door for dark, ambiguous portrayals of costumed vigilantes. Ben Affleck might not have portrayed Bruce Wayne/Batman if it hadn’t been for what occurred with Daredevil. Now tell us if you can imagine the legendary Bruce Wayne with some other actor’s face. 

 4) Josh Brolin as Thanos and Cable (Deadpool 2)

Thanks to his appearances as Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Cable in “Deadpool 2,” Josh Brolin has become a mainstay of the comic book film genre. You heard that right! The big purple guy in Avengers, who was dreaded by all, also played the role of Cable in the light-hearted superhero movie, Deadpool 2. 

 5) Michael B. Jordan as Human Torch (Fantastic Four Reboot) and Erik Killmonger (Black Panther)

 

In recent years, Michael B Jordan has evolved from an actor to a Hollywood superstar. The actor, who won many hearts as Erik Killmonger in Black Panther, has also starred in another comic book movie. In 2015’s Fantastic Four, he played Johnny Storm, a.k.a. The Human Torch. Despite the fact that the remake was a critical and financial bomb, Jordan was still eager to give his talents to Black Panther.
