Have there been any actors that have been in four or more comic book movie franchises playing different characters?

5 - Chris Evans: FF4, The Losers, Captain America, Push, Scott Pilgrim

3 - Ryan Reynolds: Blade 3, Wolverine, Green Lantern
3 - Hugo Weaving: V for Vendetta, Transformers, Capt. America
3 - Jon Favreau: Iron Man, Daredevil, Batman Forever
3 - Nick Cage: Ghost Rider, Kick-Ass, Astro Boy
3 - Brandon Routh: Superman, Dylan Dog, Scott Pilgrim

2 - Mickey Rourke: Sin City, Iron Man 2
2 - Carla Gugino: Sin City, Watchmen
2 - Halle Berry: X-Men, Catwoman
2 - Ron Pearlman: Hellboy, Blade 2
2 - Natalie Portman: V for Vendetta, Thor
2 - Ray Stevenson: Punisher, Thor
2 - Samuel L. Jackson: Nick Fury, The Spirit

You forgot Push, based upon the comic book by Sapphire.

Wow, then Chris Evans is the big winner so far!

Actually, in addition to Push, you can add Scott Pilgrim to Evans, upping him to 5

3 - Brandon Routh: Superman, Dead of Night, Scott Pilgrim

What's Dylan Dog??

Damn, I bet Chris Evans is going to be popular the comic book conventions now...Chris Evans also did the voice for Casey Jones in the TMNT animated film. Was Casey Jones in the original comic book or just in the cartoon?

Dylan Dog wiki, although the film will be titled Dead of Night. I'll edit my post above.

I think that counts, too. What's he up to now... 6?

3 - Ben Foster: X-Men, 30 Days of Night, The Punisher (2004)

2 - Rebecca Romjin: X-Men, The Punisher (2004) (Also, I think she may have had a deleted scene in Fantastic Four, but I can't remember; it may have even been included in the extended cut)

Are we considering Stan Lee an actor? If so, he's got Evans beat.

If you are counting movies that haven't actually been made yet, why not Deadpool for Ryan Reynolds? Or does it not count since he'd be the same (albeit different) character from Wolverine?

How about James Marsden - X-Men and Superman.

Unbreakable - S Jackson

Kirsten Dunst - Spiderman, The Crow

Push wasn't a comic book movie.

Push is not an adaptation of any comic book. Why did you throw that in there, just to give Chris Evans 5?

Samuel L. Jackson:
Iron Man
The Spirit
Afro Samurai
Astro Boy
Captain America (likely)
Thor (likely)
The Avenges (likely)


And if you want to count superhero movies not based on comics:
The Incredibles
Jumper
Unbreakable

Jessica Alba - FF, Sin City*

*Sin City could probably put a few people in the running. Bruce Willis would then make it with Unbreakable as well.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan in The Losers and Watchmen.

You're right, I think I got confused because I think they created a short comic storyline preceding the movie, meaning the film was not actually adapted from an existing comic.

I don't think anybody would consider Stan Lee an actor.

Chris Evans was great in Not Another Teen Movie... I predict a Sean Penn turn for him.

What comic book was Afro Samurai adapted from?

Maus, obviously.
