So I’m watching Kong today and I realize that there at four actors with prominent roles in Marvel movies in it. 1. Samuel L. Jackson - Nick Fury 2. Tom Hiddleston - Loki 3. John C Reilly - Corpsman Dey 4. Brie Larson - Captain Marvel (upcoming) Might be cheating a bit with that last one but I’ll take it. That’s four. Can anyone name another one with more? ---

TRAFFIC had Michael Douglas (Ant-Man), Benicio del Toro (The Collector), Don Cheadle (Jim Rhodes), John Slattery (Howard Stark), Miguel Ferrer (VP Rodriguez), and Benjamin Bratt (Jon Pangborn) – plus Topher Grace, if the Spidey movies count. ---

_The Losers_ (which is based on a DC comic book) has: Idris Elba (Heimdall) Chris Evans (Captain America) Zoe Saldana (Gamora) Not quite as many as the OP listed but I think it’s notable because these are three of the movie’s six leads. The movie also has Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who has never played a Marvel character but has played four different DC characters. ---

The top three leads in SPOTLIGHT – Keaton and Ruffalo and McAdams – all seem to qualify, along with Slattery and Tucci a little further down in the credits. ---
