  • I am the last of the Council of Wizards, Caper of the rock of eternity.

  • Welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 actors who have played superheroes and supervillains drop it.

  • Hey now, hey man for this list, we'll be looking for performers who got to play both sides of the good and evil coin will include anti heroes.

  • If they've done something particularly heroic or villainous.

  • While we'll save animated roles for another time, we will definitely be diving into some spoilers ahead.

  • Which of these performers do you think showed the most range let us know in the comments number 10 Jim, Carey Colonel stars and stripes the mask and the Riddler While Carrie's title character in the mask doesn't act like much of a good guy.

  • Most of the time he was based on a darker superhero.

  • It's party time P A R.

  • T.

  • Why?

  • Because I got to his comedy stylings were perfect for the wacky and unpredictable character.

  • A year later, Kerry became a major super villain when he played the Riddler in batman forever riddle me.

  • This riddle me that who's afraid of the big black back.

  • While the movie wasn't a critical hit, The funny man gave an unquestionably memorable performance as the obsessive and eccentric batman, Rogue Kerry became a darker kind of superhero again when he played colonel stars and stripes in 2013.

  • Kick ass too.

  • Oh, try to have fun otherwise what's the point?

  • His unpredictable nature and dedication.

  • Felt like a zany mash up of his previous roles, coincidentally Kerry managed to wear green for all three of his outings in this big and bold genre number nine idris Elba, Heimdall and Bloodsport.

  • Although Elba's role as Moreau in the second ghost writer doesn't really count as a superhero.

  • He definitely fit the bill when he played Heimdall in the M.

  • C.

  • U.

  • Heimdall may we pass never as an enemy slipped my watch until this day I wish to know how that happened.

  • He appeared as the all seeing as Guardian who guarded the by Frost and tried his best to keep his brethren safe.

  • We tragically saw him fall after performing one final heroic act in Avengers infinity war.

  • No after having put that character to bed Oba jumped to D.

  • C.

  • And took on the role of Blood Sport at the beginning of the Suicide Squad.

  • He's unquestionably a supervillain clever enough to wound superman.

  • Are you having a laugh?

  • What you just said?

  • Each member of the team is chosen for their unique abilities.

  • He does exactly what I do but better.

  • But he grows into more of an anti hero by the time the credits roll in every role.

  • Elbaz natural charisma brought out the best in his characters.

  • Number eight liam Neeson.

  • Dark man and roz al ghoul when most people hear liam Neeson and superhero movies in the same sentence.

  • They think of his role in the Dark Knight trilogy.

  • He played Bruce Wayne's mentor turned adversary Rahz Al Ghoul but pointless.

  • None of these people have long to live your antics at the asylum have forced my hand.

  • Neeson brought a lot of gravitas to the complex and incredibly dangerous villain.

  • But before he faced batman, the actor played an unconventional hero named Dark man.

  • Neeson's character becomes stronger and resistant to pain.

  • After suffering at the hands of unjust men.

  • He once again brought a lot of complexity to what could have been a campy or forgettable role.

  • Since the actor reprised his role as Roz al Ghoul, we'd love to see him return to the Dark man.

  • Roll again too, you?

  • Re spoiling everything but why should I have all the fun, Let's give someone else a chance if Coleman Reese isn't dead.

  • Number seven kurt Russell, the commander and ego, the living planet.

  • The fun and surprising sky high featured kurt Russell playing the fictitious hero, the commander, although not based on any specific comic book property, he feels like a funny stand in for superman for most of the movie, the well meaning commander is extremely invested in his son becoming a great superhero.

  • Well, I just want you to know how proud I am that you'll be attending my alma mater and someday following me into the family business.

  • This major plot point makes his role in the M.

  • C.

  • You feel incredibly ironic.

  • He first played the celestial known as ego in guardians of the galaxy, volume two.

  • This villainous figure wanted to use his son star lord's powers to help take over tons of living planets.

  • I wanted to do this together and I suppose you'll have to learn by spending the next 1000 years as a battery while the commander could be overbearing, it's clear that he had a much better relationship with his son than ego did Number six Ryan Reynolds, Green Lantern, Deadpool twice and juggernaut Reynolds experience with superheroes has been a mixed bag after appearing in Blade trinity.

  • His first real shot at being a powered person came when he played wade Wilson in X men origins.

  • Wolverine, I love this weapon more than any other thing in the whole wide world, you wanna know why it's memorable.

  • Unfortunately, a bad script created what's regarded as the worst version of the character.

  • Reynolds then tried his hand at being a good guy by playing Hal Jordan's in Green Lantern.

  • Mhm wow.

  • After that film disappointed fans, he finally found his place as a fantastic version of Deadpool in 2016, he absolutely killed as the character in two films and counting in the midst of Reynolds resurgence, he sneakily played the supervillain juggernaut In 2018's Deadpool two, I'm gonna shove that cabdriver right up your ass, my body and my hands are so soft watching the actor technically fight against himself, marked a high point in the superhero movie journey number five Michael B Jordan's the human torch and eric kill monger casting the incredibly charismatic Michael B Jordan's as the often cocky human torch seemed like a slam dunk.

  • Yeah, unfortunately for fans, even his talents couldn't make his character in the underwhelming and much meddled with 2015, fantastic four movie work, thankfully.

  • It only took three more years before audiences praised his performance as eric Kill Monger in Black panther, Don't Trip, I'm gonna take it off your hands for you.

  • These items aren't for sale.

  • How do you think your ancestors got these?

  • You think they paid a fair price or did they take it like they took everything else Jordan's understandable motivations and at times sympathetic portrayal.

  • Had audiences torn whether to support him or the heroes despite his character's death, his performance was so well received that some fans are calling for him to return to the franchise somehow just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors that jumped from the ships because they know death.

  • It was better than bondage audiences are definitely hungry to see Jordan's do justice to more superhero films.

  • Number four, tom hardy venom slash Eddie brock and Bane.

  • The Dark Knight rises brought one of batman's greatest foes to light when tom hardy played Bane.

  • Oh you think darkness is your ally, You merely adopted the dark.

  • I was born in it molded by it.

  • I didn't see the light until I was already a man.

  • While the actors dialogue and actions were extremely intimidating on their own, he had such a strong physical presence that he could intimidate us while he was standing still hardy followed this role as the legendary supervillain by crawling across universes to become Eddie brock and venom so many snacks.

  • So little time while he still excels at being terrifying.

  • When the occasion calls for it, his dual marvel role allows him to show off his comedic chops and when his venom feels like it, he has a knack for saving lives.

  • You will only ever be allowed to touch harm hurt, possibly very possibly eat very very bad people but never ever ever good people alright.

  • Seeing hardy go from being a great batman villain to a relatively noble Spiderverse character makes for a great full circle journey.

  • Number three Michelle Pfeiffer the wasp and Catwoman despite some fierce competition, Michelle Pfeiffer is typically seen as the best catwoman ever committed to film.

  • Be gentle, it's my first time.

  • Oh in the span of one movie, she went from a subdued performance as Selina Kyle to a sultry and threatening supervillain and firmly landed on her feet.

  • Somewhere in the middle.

  • Pfeiffer's legacy and superhero films would have been preserved if she just appeared in batman returns.

  • But she continued making waves by joining the M.

  • C.

  • U.

  • As Janet van dying a k A the original wasp by for traits her claws in for stingers to play the resourceful marvel heroine.

  • Oh my God after being lost in another realm for decades.

  • Wasp made a glorious return.

  • We hope to see more of Pfeiffer and action as the stinging heroin Number two Josh Brolin cable, Jonah hex and Thanos.

  • Thanks to the M.

  • C.

  • U.

  • S.

  • Infinity saga, Thanos will go down as one of the most iconic villains ever portrayed in comic book films.

  • Daughter.

  • They could do it.

  • Yes.

  • A big part of the character's success can be attributed to josh Brolin's brilliant and layered portrayal Before the actor cemented his superhero street cred, he suffered a setback when he played Jonah hex in the movie of the same name.

  • Watch this.

  • Hey, hey, what happened to your face myself shaving?

  • Although his western hero failed to make an impression, he was extremely memorable as cable in Deadpool two Brolin's gruff demeanor and intimidating approach was perfect for the gruff mutant from the future.

  • What's the most pain you've ever felt?

  • Right?

  • These restraints are pretty.

  • People think they understand pain.

  • They have no concept of it beyond their own worst experience.

  • While it's not likely we'll see much more of his Jonah hex or Thanos and live action.

  • His future as cable looks bright before we continue.
