Dominic Purcell: Mick Rory aka Heatwave in the CW’s “Arrowverse” (DC) Dracula in _Blade: Trinity_ (Marvel) Ok, Dracula is public domain, not a Marvel Comics property, but he is a solidly established character in the Marvel Universe, and even had his own comic book in the 1970s that was firmly established as occurring in the same universe as Marvel’s superhero comics. ---

OK Jim Carrey has been in: The Mask–a movie based on a comic book published by Dark Horse Batman Forever—a movie based a comic book published by DC Kick Ass 2— a movie based a comic book published by Image He still needs a role in a clear cut Marvel Comics movie however. Maybe he could play Arcade in a X-Men movie or The Impossible Man in a Fantastic Four movie. ---
