Summary
- Superheroes often need multiple films to get their live-action representation right, evolving with the genre’s progress.
- Recasting roles can enhance a character’s personality, as seen with Don Cheadle’s portrayal of War Machine in the MCU.
- Second attempts at superhero movies, like Deadpool’s, can rectify mistakes and give characters a more faithful adaptation.
Even the most famous comic book movie characters often need more than one film to truly get things right. The superhero movie genre has come a long way, from the direct-to-TV movies of ages past to the expansive films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the genre has evolved, so too has the presentation of its most famous characters, who often aren’t justly depicted in their very first feature-length appearances.

Movies have come to respect the art form of comic books in recent years, striving much further for accuracy to the source material when it comes to bringing the most famous Marvel and DC heroes to life on the silver screen. This reason alone explains why it took at least one iteration for even the most popular superheroes to get a live-action movie representation that fans could truly identify with. The best comic book movies are able to learn from the failures of their predecessors and improve accordingly, especially when it comes to the leading hero.

Respect has to be given to Adam West’s Batman where it is due. Making a name for himself playing the first popular live-action incarnation of the character, West’s sense of timing and tongue-in-cheek comedic delivery helped popularize the character to the degree of fame Batman enjoys to this day. However, it would be inaccurate to call Batman’s appearance in the eponymous film that spun off from the Adam West TV show faithful to the source material, subsisting on a campy version of the character that hadn’t seen comics in years.

Luckily, Micheal Keaton’s Batman was there to provide fans with the first properly dark and gritty version of Batman that actually stayed faithful to the source material. Tim Burton’s Batman was able to single-handedly shift the general public’s perception of the character from a pun-spewing cornball that couldn’t get rid of a bomb to a dark avatar of justice that prowled the dim back alleys of Gotham City. Even if it was tonal whiplash, the evolution of Batman between his 1966 and 1989 films is easy to appreciate.

The MCU is no stranger to recasting roles when doing so suits the cinema empire’s needs, and War Machine was one of the first major examples of such. In the original Iron Man, James Rhodes is played by Terrence Howard, who only alludes to War Machine rather than actually suiting up to become the gunmetal gray armored hero. In Iron Man 2, however, Marvel Studios opted to recast Rhodey with Don Cheadle, who went on to play the character in all future MCU crossover films.
For what it’s worth, Cheadle provides much more personality to the seemingly straight-laced pilot than his predecessor did. While Cheadle’s take on War Machine is still very much a rule-follower, which sometimes causes him to clash with his fellow heroes, he does have a certain moral and personal sense of flexibility that makes him a more believable friend of Tony Stark’s. Don Cheadle’s War Machine is one of the most underrated heroes in the entire MCU.

Way back in 2003, Ben Affleck was able to test his might as a cowl-wearing vigilante long before his Batman days as the blind superhero Daredevil in a movie of the same name. In all honesty, Affleck isn’t exactly terrible in the role, and is more so held back by the baffling decisions of the early-2000s superhero movie rather than his own acting ability. That being said, Charlie Cox’s version of Matt Murdock blows Affleck’s incarnation out of the water.

While Cox got his start in the Netflix Daredevil series, he has technically made a movie appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him headline his own film in due time. This is thanks to Cox’s incredible performance as a blind man, which was commended by the American Foundation for the Blind for its accuracy, not to mention his struggle with his faith and internal turmoil. By now, Charlie Cox’s name has become all but synonymous with the character, a clear improvement on the original.

It might surprise many to learn that Chris Hemsworth’s debut in 2011’s Thor as the MCU’s God of Thunder wasn’t the character’s first on-screen appearance. Thor had actually been represented in live-action once before in a direct-to-TV low-budget superhero crossover film titled The Incredible Hulk Returns. Here, Thor teams up with Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno’s Bruce Banner/The Hulk in a highly-anticipated final chapter to The Incredible Hulk series.
It’s safe to say this made-for-TV performance doesn’t hold a candle to Chris Hemsworth’s irreverent charm
In some ways, this version of Thor was actually more comic-accurate than the MCU’s retaining the Donald Blake personality that Marvel Studios left out of Thor’s comic origins. However, Thor’s actor comes across as altogether too arrogant and clumsy, angering the Hulk by sheer happenstance just to provoke him into fighting. It’s safe to say this made-for-TV performance doesn’t hold a candle to Chris Hemsworth’s irreverent charm, even in the first Thor solo film.

Of all the biggest and brightest superhero glow-ups across second attempts at the movies, Deadpool might be the single most obvious. Ryan Reynolds was able to play his dream role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which briefly presented Wade Wilson as a mouthy mutant with no mask, no scarred face, and no fourth-wall-breaking antics. Even more appalling, by the end of the film, Wade Wilson is revived as a mute mutant superweapon, sewing shut the most important element of the Merc with a Mouth.
There’s no better proof that the second incarnation of Deadpool had the superior performance
Luckily, 2016’s Deadpool came along to rectify these mistakes. Not only does this more faithful version of the character give Reynolds full permission to act out his wildest bits fully clad in a faithful Deadpool costume, but in Deadpool 2,Wade Wilson gets to canonically kill his weaker on-screen incarnation thanks to Cable’s time machine. There’s no better proof that the second incarnation of Deadpool had the superior performance.

Disregarding his participation in the straight-to-TV Thor crossover, The Hulk has had two theatrically-released solo movie appearances. Of the two of them, Edward Norton’s The Incredible Hulk is a far stronger narrative, spending less time establishing the origins of the green goliath and more time allowing him to grapple with the weighty responsibility of protecting the world from himself and other monsters worse than him. Meanwhile, the Ang Lee 2003 film, simply titled Hulk, falls short.
Related 10 Harsh Realities Of Rewatching Ang Lee’s Hulk
2003’s Hulk has a terrible reputation, but watching it through the lens of a contemporary comic book fan reveals some surprising harsh realities.
For one, the early-2000s CGI wasn’t able to keep up with Hulk’s SFX needs, looking like a poorly-rendered Playstation game in the few instances it saw broad daylight. Eric Bana was also not the right choice for Dr. Banner, turning anger into awkward shaking while not selling Banner’s scientific acumen. While Mark Ruffalo’s third Hulk incarnation is somewhere in between the two, it’s a shame Edward Norton didn’t return to the MCU.

The second film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is The Incredible Hulk, which was released in 2008. The film introduced a new backstory for the Hulk to differentiate it from the 2003 movie, Hulk. Actor Edward Norton played the role of the green hulk, and his alter ego Bruce Banner. He is joined by actress Liv Tyler who plays his love interest, Dr. Elizabeth “Betty” Ross. Betty’s father, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), is hoping to recreate a World War II supersoldier program and, in the process, exposes Bruce to gamma radiation that transforms him into the Hulk. He flees to find a cure for himself but is eventually tracked down by Thunderbolt, who forms an alliance with Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth). After The Incredible Hulk, Mark Ruffalo took over the character for subsequent movies in the MCU.

Like Thor, Captain America also has a seldom-seen live-action movie to his name prior to his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 1990’s Captain America was only direct-to-video in the United States, but did see theater releases internationally. Here, Steve Rodgers gets little time to shine before becoming Captain America, glossing over the hero’s origins in favor of jumping straight into the action, which involved Red Skull coming into the possession of a dangerous arsenal of nuclear weaponry.

Considering the production values, it’s no surprise that Captain America: The First Avenger beats the 90s movie out of the water in its portrayal of the all-American hero.

Admittedly, Venom is far better-known for being a Spider-Man villain than a hero in his own right. However, the comic character has since evolved into something of a darkly vicious if kind-hearted vigilante. By now, Venom has spent more time in Marvel Comics canon being a hero than a villain, making Tom Hardy’s portrayal in the 2018 film Venom much more faithful than Topher Grace’s ill-fated take in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3.

While George Reeves was a perfectly serviceable iteration of the Man of Steel, it would take another actor to truly live up to the character’s promise.

Christopher Reeve truly showed the world what Superman could be in 1978’s Superman.
