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?

1) Chris Evans (Human Torch/Captain America)

The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed a pattern by now; Few of the actors on this list actually managed to pull off two convincing superheroes and some even failed to succeed with one. Chris Evans is the rare specimen who defied this trend, excelling as both the Human Torch and Captain America, despite these characters appearing in cinemas within the same decade.

What’s particularly impressive is that Marvel studios actually gave Evans a crack at the Star-Spangled Avengers after only just starring in the godawful Fantastic Four franchise a few short years before. Sure, it helps that Evans likes to take his top off in movies, but it’s also a testament to his star charisma and acting ability. However, Evans has recently expressed reluctance to continue starring in multi-billion dollar franchises for much longer, presumably because of a recently discovered allergy to money, so his days as Captain America may soon be over.
