Speaking of Kick-Ass, Dave Lizewski might be a geeky superhero wannabe, but the man behind him, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, has also found himself playing a member of the Avengers.

After starring in the irreverent superhero spoof and its 2013 sequel, Taylor-Johnson bulked up to play Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron (plus, a cameo in Captain America: The Winter Soldier). Given the character’s prominence in the comics, he was expected to stay around for more films but – spoiler alert – was shockingly killed off (as you can see in the clip above).

Funnily enough, his Kick-Ass co-star Evan Peters plays another version of Quicksilver in the X-Men movies. Peters’ Kick-Ass character became a superhero himself in the sequel, but Augustus Prew had taken over the role. Otherwise, Peters would be on this list too.
