6 Degrees Of Superheroes And Villains

The briefest of glances at the box office achievements of any movie featuring superheroes clearly indicates the popularity of such projects. With such huge fan followings comes instant recognition for the performers involved, and entry into the amusing game of spotting superheroes assembling elsewhere. Sometimes, these are notable movies sprinkled in between super gigs. Other, more amusing times, these are examples of superheroes assembling before they ever became the legendary alter-ego that would inevitably define them for years to come.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Featuring: Gamora, Doctor Strange, Judge Dredd, Thor, and Chris Pine.

The second of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek movies racks up some high level combinations. With Zoe Saldana as Lieutenant Uhura, and Karl Urban as Bones (as in the first movie), we have Gamora from Guardians Of The Galaxy sharing screen time with Judge Dredd.

Add to the mix Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan and Chris Hemsworth as Kirk Senior, and you have a movie featuring Doctor Strange and Thor long before Strange’s first solo movie makes an appearance. Star Trek Into Darkness gets an additional super-boost now that Chris Pine (Captain Kirk) is reportedly in talks to appear in a DC movie – perhaps as Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman, or in a Green Lantern reboot.

Birdman (2014)

Featuring: Batman, Gwen Stacy, The Incredible Hulk.

Notable for being a film about an actor struggling to crawl out from underneath the crushing weight of a long-past superhero role, it is quite fitting that Birdman should assemble three actors with superhero movie roles behind them.

First and foremost, there is the legendary Michael Keaton – one of the greatest Batmen ever to have donned the cape and cowl – here playing Riggan, the actor in question. Then, there is Emma Stone as Sam – although she previously completed a two-film stint as Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Last, but by no means least, there is Edward Norton as Mike. Norton filled the torn trunks of The Incredible Hulk for a Louis Leterrier film version in 2008, although in the final analysis, his incarnation was by no means the most popular.
