8 Actors Who Have Played Multiple Superheroes

It's hard to imagine now, but can you remember a time when talking racoons and Asgardian gods didn't rule the box office, a time when Robert Downey Jr. wasn't a bankable star and Christopher Reeves was the only Superman worth thinking about?

3) Samuel L. Jackson (Frozone/Nick Fury)

An actor as theatrical as Samuel L. Jackson was always destined to appear in superhero movies, so it shouldn’t have come as a surprise when he took on the role of Nick Fury in every bloody Marvel film ever made, even to those who expected a grizzled white actor in his fifties

Jackson has become an integral part of the MCU over the past decade, but the movie that kickstarted his sojourn into super heroics was the Pixar classic The Incredibles. Mr Incredible may have been the star of the film, but Jackson’s icy hero Frozone stole every scene he was in.

The actor recently confirmed that Frozone is set to appear in the upcoming Incredibles sequel, which could quite possibly be the best news ever. After the debacle that was Cars 2, it’s exciting news that Pixar are willing to produce a sequel that audiences will actually care about, especially one that features Mr Jackson himself.

Best Role: Frozone
