Pearl Harbour (2001)
Featuring: Batman/Daredevil, Elektra, General Zod, The Shadow, Dr Francis Dulmacher/Donald Menken/King Laufey, General Jacobs/Colonel Hendry, Wesley Owen Welch.
While Ben Affleck is now a one-man superhero combo package – with both Daredevil and Batman on his resume, Pearl Harbour includes quite the superhero movie roll-call. With an impressively large cast, the film portrays a sweeping story of intimate romance against the backdrop of World War II and, eventually, the infamous and deadly attack on the U.S military at Pearl Harbour, on December 7th 1941.
In addition to Affleck, Jennifer Garner also features in a supporting role long before she appeared as Elektra in Daredevil, and then in 2005’s Elektra. Pearl Harbour also boasts a small turn from Alec Baldwin, who previously starred as The Shadow in the 1994 film of the same name, while Leland Orser appears, before later joining the cast of the Daredevil movie as Wesley Owen Welch. Glenn Morshower has pulled double superhero project duty since appearing in Pearl Harbour, as both General Jacobs in Agents Of SHIELD, and Colonel Hendry in X-Men: First Class.
However, the versatile Colm Feore wins the round with his roles as King Laufey in Thor, Donald Menken in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Dr Francis Dulmacher in Gotham.
