Chris Evans has the distinction of starring in one of the least acclaimed superhero franchises and one of the most, in the Fantastic Four films and the Captain America movies, respectively.

In the 2005 Fantastic Four movie and its aforementioned sequel, Evans plays cocky womanizer Johnny Storm/Human Torch. From 2011’s The First Avenger onward, he has become much more widely known as the very different Steve Rogers – leader of the Avengers and star of one of the most consistently great superhero trilogies of all-time.

But it doesn’t stop with those two roles. Evans has also appeared in Push, Snowpiercer, The Losers, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and TMNT, which are either superhero-related or based on comic books. I guess you can’t blame the guy. He’s found his niche and he’s sticking to it.
