Who Played It Better? 10 Superheroes Played By Different Actors

Before Jennifer Lawrence’s blue-body Mystique make-over for X-Men, blonde bombshell Rebecca Romijn had three outings as the magnificent mutant, although rumour has it J-Law will achieve the ultimate comics honour and get a stand-alone Mystique film.

1 of 10
With great power, comes great responsibility, as both Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire well know. Tobey played Spidey from 2002-2007 while British-born Garfield took over as the insect-inspired hero in 2012.

2 of 10
Fast & Furious actress Gal Gadot is next up to don the star-spangled suit and lasso of truth in the upcoming Batman vs Superman film. Hopefully she’ll fare better than Adrianne Palicki, whose outing as the Amazonian princess didn’t get past a TV pilot.

3 of 10
Ed Norton re-visited his Fight Club training in 2008’s The Hulk, where he played the gamma-zapped Bruce Banner. After Norton backed out of the Avengers, he was replaced by Mark Ruffalo, much to fans’ fury, who were quick to smash the casting choice.

4 of 10
Jessica Alba caused quite a ‘Storm’ as the Invisible Woman in 2005 flick Fantastic Four while House of Cards actress Kate Mara is set to steal her, err, thunder in an upcoming reboot, playing the superhero and her human alter-ego, Sue Storm.

5 of 10
We know what you’re thinking: WTF. This is actually down to a re-boot of the comics, which previously featured Fury as a Hasselhoff lookalike, resulting in the Hoff playing Nick in a TV film. The character was later re-drawn to look like Samuel L Jackson.

6 of 10
Kirsten Dunst was the original Spidey gal, playing flame-haired Mary Jane opposite Tobey Maguire. Divergent star Shailene Woodley was set to reprise the role alongside Andrew Garfield but sadly her efforts were left on the cutting room floor.

7 of 10
Brandon Routh had an uphill battle as Clark Kent in Superman Returns, not least because he had to wear a pair of pants over his spandex suit. Luckily for Henry Cavill, most fans were so distracted by the big gun show they didn’t even clock the unitard.

8 of 10
Played by a bevvy of on-screen beauties, Catwoman is well on her way to having nine lives but our favourite versions were undoubtedly Anne Hathaway and Halle Berry, who flaunted their feline charms until they had Batman purring in the palm of their paws.

9 of 10
There was outrage when Ben Affleck was cast as the caped crusader following Christian Bale’s almost decade-long reign in the role. But fans are slowly coming round to the idea of ‘Batfleck’, who’ll make his silver screen debut as the character next year.
