Characters like Wolverine, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch and Deadpool, to name a few, would not be understood without the versions that actors such as Robert Downet Jr, Hugh Jackman, Elizabeth Olsen or Ryan Reynolds gave us.
Discover the perfect casting of the different characters of the Marvel Universe.
Krysten Ritter / Jessica Jones
For Marvel’s second series on the World’s Largest Platform, the Jeph Loeb-led team took the Alias comics as inspiration to find an actress who would mirror Jessica Jones’ constant disappointment in the world.
Given this, the production found in Krysten Ritter the ideal incarnation of the former superhero who works as a private investigator, whose history with alcohol, impregnated with pessimism, with the intention of doing the right thing.
Elizabeth Olsen / Wanda Maximoff
Since her arrival in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was announced, Elizabeth Olsen has blended in with Wanda Maximoff, reflecting the Sokovian’s vulnerability, added to Wanda’s instability in relation to her powers. Olsen studied Wanda Maximoff in detail in such a way that she stole the camera in every tape in which she had a part.
With WandaVision, Olsen exploited his histrionic skills to the fullest, and his transformation to Scarlet Witch promises that the live-action version of the sorceress created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby as one of the most powerful women in the history of the MCU.
Tom Holland / Peter Parker
With Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, two great eras were completed with the wall-crawler, and the spider courier passed into the hands of Tom Holland, who delivered a Spider-Man attached to the adolescent version that we met in Amazing Fantasy #15.
Holland gave Spidey a look of naivete, coupled with his desire to help the people of Queens, even if he doesn’t get paid for it. The British promises for a fourth Spudey film to give us the version that shows us once again that with great power comes great responsibility.
Chadwick Boseman/T’Challa
One of the actors who gave us the best version of Black Panther is Chadwick Boseman, who gave us a definitive version of T’Challa, the King and protector of Wakanda, a nation that integrates itself onto the world stage.
After Boseman’s death in October 2020, Marvel Studios paid Boseman the best tribute by not choosing a new Black Panther interpreter, although T’Challa will definitely be missed in the second film.
Ryan Reynolds / Wade Wilson
Second chances don’t always come, but in the case of Ryan Reynolds it was shown that there are actors who are definitely the ideal ones to embody certain peculiar characters, such as Wade Wilson / Deadpool.
With a quite characteristic sense of humor, Reynolds has blended in with Deadpool, to the extent that the Canadian will repeat his role for the third time in a production that Marvel Studios is already preparing, once the mutant catalog of The House of Ideas finished its cycle at 20th Century Fox. Without a doubt a perfect casting for Marvel
Charlie Cox/Matt Murdock
To speak of the version of Daredevil that we saw in the three seasons of the homonymous series is to refer to one of the closest incarnations of the Man Without Fear that have been presented in the media, and this was thanks to the efforts of Charlie Cox.
His reappearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home not only marks Matt Murdock’s return to the big screen, it’s also a chance to see Daredevil in surprising stories for his fans and for readers who barely know the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.
Jon Bernthal / Frank Castle
Following his debut in the second season of Daredevil, Jon Bernthal delivered a masterful take on Frank Castle, one of Marvel Comics’ most controversial antiheroes, the Punisher, whose anti-establishment ideals have provided plenty of talking points.
Bernthal delivered a Punisher trapped in post-traumatic stress after losing his family, evoking the version of the vigilante emanating from the Garth Ennis stories.
Chris Evans / Steve Rogers
With the box office success of the first Iron Man film, and the imminent construction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The House of Ideas began to produce the origin films of the members of the Avengers, and the Sentinel of the Liberty.
Although he initially turned down the role, after his experience as Johny Storm in Fantastic Four, Chris Evans was convinced by Robert Downey Jr. to take on the mantle of Steve Rogers/Captain America, in a relationship that spanned nearly a decade. decade.
Robert Downey Jr. / Tony Stark
The Marvel Cinematic Universe would not be understood without the first Iron Man movie, which although it was released in 2008, two years earlier found in Robert Downey Jr. the Tony Stark that Marvel Studios was looking for.
Casual, cynical, conceited, but with a heroic vocation, the version that Downey Jr. delivered of Iron Man is the definitive one, so it will take several years for another actor to convince as Tony stark in the same way he did twice. Oscar nominated.
Hugh Jackman / Logan
But if we talk about definitive versions, in the minds of Marvel fans, the career that Hugh Jackman forged by playing one of the most popular members of the X-Men: Logan / Wolverine, in what millions consider the Marvel’s perfect casting.
Over the course of 17 years, Jackman not only made a name for himself thanks to Logan, the Australian managed to capture every Logan story from his beginnings as a rogue member of the X-Men, to the Old Man Logan-inspired version, where James Howlett has finally found the death he has been seeking for years.
