Peter Parker
Early Career Robert Sean Leonard/Mid-Career River Phoenix
Anyone who's seen the famous
Dead Poets Society knows Leonard's got the chops. He's currently pulling his weight on the hit drama
House. And Phoenix is nothing short of a legend, cut down in his prime.
Captain America
Mid-Career Brad Pitt
Say what you want about Pitt. He's got the look, he's got the talent, and I saw what he did to Eric Bana in
Troy.
Tony Stark
Mid-Career Laurence Olivier
Arguably the greatest stage actor of all time, Olivier made his presence well-known to cinema and leaves a legacy behind to envy.
Matthew Murdock
Late 1960s/Early 1970s Robert Redford
Did you see 1973's
The Sting? Then you understand.
Thor
Mid-Career Sean Bean
Sean Bean's always got the shaft in the majority of his work. People get the fun idea to kill him off in just about everything. I've got the fun idea of making him the God of Thunder.
Professor X
Early/Mid-Career Charles Dance
Probably the least known of the folks on this list, Dance has learned to hold his own in the past and played a killer villain in the underrated 90s classic
Last Action Hero. You can catch him nowadays on
Game of Thrones.
Magneto
Mid-Career Peter O'Toole
O'Toole might be responsible for some of the greatest screen performances of all time (
Lawrence of Arabia,
The Stunt Man) and having him don the suit of the X-Men's greatest foe might be quite the experience for fans.
Punisher
Early Career Marlon Brando
Just get passed the voice.
Dr. Strange
Mid-to-Later Career Pierce Brosnan
What might be the most "Oh, really?" entry on the list still makes quite a bit of sense to me. Brosnan has played everything you can imagine and is truly a top-notch talent.
Mr. Fantastic
Early Career James Stewart
Quirky, emotional, awkward, and very, very human; how could Reed not be absolutely loved being epitomized in James Stewart?
Cyclops
Mid-Career Val Kilmer
I would gladly pay money to watch Val Kilmer shoot laser beams out of his eyes.
