Who says you can only have one iconic role? Here are three of the best actors who played multiple comic book characters.

Tom Hardy – Bane & Venom

After working with Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan on “Inception”, Tom Hardy was cast as Bane, the villain who broke Batman – and he proved that the character doesn’t need comic book super-steroid, venom, to be a terrifyingly intimidating physical force. Speaking of Venom, Hardy has also donned the mantle of the Marvel villain/antihero, in a film that will hopefully redeem the character following the disappointment of “Spider-Man 3”. Though it remains to be seen how Hardy will perform, considering how epic it is that he has both these big name characters on his resume… he earned a spot on our list.

Hugo Weaving – V & Red Skull

This English-Australian actor has mastered the art of playing commanding characters. Though perhaps best known as Agent Smith in the Matrix trilogy, he won the hearts of cinemagoers and comic book lovers alike with his portrayal of Alan Moore’s heroic anarchist/revolutionary, V. It takes a lot of skill to deliver a powerful performance from behind a mask, but he did just that opposite Natalie Portman. In 2011 however, he returned to his villainous ways, playing the arch nemesis of Captain America, Johann Schmidt/ Red Skull. He nailed the menacing, deeply evil character, and his appearance post-transformation? Chilling and straight from the comics.

Chris Evans – Human Torch, Jake Jensen, Lucas Lee, Captain America

All hail Chris Evans, an actor who’s honestly made a career in the genre. Evans’ origins in comic book movies might be humble, but however quick you might be to dismiss Fox’s Fantastic Four movies, you can’t deny that he made for a likeable and charming Johnny Storm. In 2010, he played two minor comic book characters in the Vertigo adaptation, The Losers and as an evil ex in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World before finally joining the big leagues as none other than Captain America. In the role, he has become one of the most beloved big screen heroes of our time. Chris Evans, we salute your contributions to the genre!
