Cross comicbook character acting

[Monty McDougal]

what do you think about actors playing multiple superheros? Like chris evans: Human torch, Capt. America, guy in scott pilgrim, and a guy in losers.
I think that if the actor works, it is fine if it doesn't include some thing were the characters would meet.

I think it's perfectly fine, even when characters change actors across movies (Batman, Hulk, Warmarchine). Because in comics every artist and writer has their own take on a character and therefore different actors interpretation of the character are equally valid.

They certainly wouldn't have cast Chris Evans as both Thor and Captain America because that would have been silly, but there's no real problem with his appearance in both the Fantastic Four and Captain Ameria.

I was pretty against it until they re-cast the Hulk for the third time. Then I thought, "Eh, what the hell."

 

[Utrechet]

If it is a good actor, there is no problem. However if the actor screws up every role, yes then there should not be more jobs for said actor to do.

And about the cross-meeting thing, that'd be workable. Green-screens would solve that, and makeup and costumes are notable. All you need to see to get the basic idea is the color scheme of the person.

You'd have the human torch flying around on fire, while the scott pilgrim character would be doing comicbook-action punches (Pow!).

"Actions speak louder than words" to sum that up.
