6 Degrees Of Superheroes And Villains

The Prestige (2006)

Featuring: Wolverine, Batman, Alfred, Black Widow, Maya Hansen, Ulysses Klaue.

If there were ever two superheroes with anger issues – other than The Incredible Hulk, of course – it would be Wolverine and Batman. In particular, Christian Bale’s Batman, who is arguably the angriest version to date. That anger turns to simmering rage in Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige, when Bale and Hugh Jackman go head-to-head as competitive magicians.

The combinations do not end there, however, for Batman’s own Alfred (Michael Caine) is present for a similar wisdom-filled purpose, along with Marvel’s Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) as Olivia Wenscombe, Maya Hansen from Iron Man 3 (Rebecca Hall) as Sarah Borden, and Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis) as Alley.

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)

Featuring: The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man.

Mark Ruffalo is by no means the first Incredible Hulk to catch the eye of Black Widow, for in The Other Boleyn Girl, Scarlett Johansson stars as Mary Boleyn – sister of Anne Boleyn, with whom she finds herself competing for the attentions of one Henry Tudor, played by Hulk star Eric Bana. The movie also features Benedict Cumberbatch as William Carey – who has since been cast as Doctor Strange, of course. Lastly, the film also features an appearance by Andrew Garfield, whose version of Spider-Man filled the most recent web-slinger films.
