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.

Re: Comic book movie producers love these actors...

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?

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.

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.
