6 Degrees Of Superheroes And Villains

Stardust (2007)

Featuring: Magneto, Daredevil, Superman, Matai Shang/Sinestro/Frank D’Amico, Catwoman.

Based on Neil Gaiman’s novel of the same name, this ambitious adaptation draws together an ensemble cast that features performers of world renown – some of whom were already super, and some of whom would become super in later years.

Narrated by Ian McKellen – who is also Magneto – the story follows Tristan as he travels to a magical realm to retrieve a fallen star for his beloved. Tristan is played by a young Charlie Cox, who grew up to be the 2015 Netflix version of Daredevil. He is hampered and pursued along the way by the evil Witch Queen, Lamia – played by Michelle Pfeiffer, who famously portrayed Catwoman in Tim Burton’s Batman Returns.

In addition, he scuffles with Humphrey, played by a young Henry Cavill – who would later become Superman – and finds himself at odds with Septimus, played by Mark Strong. Strong beats his co-stars with roles in no less than three superhero movies – appearing as Matai Shang in John Carter, Sinestro in Green Lantern, and Frank D’Amico in Kick-Ass.
