There is no rule that says that one actor can't play more than one comic book character. Chris Evans is a prime example of this. We all know Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker in Spider-Man, it is perhaps his most well known role. Now Tobey is not my favorite actor by any sense of the word. But he isn't my least favorite either. I was thinking about this the other day, and I thought, "Hey, wouldn't Tobey Maguire make a good Barry Allen?"
That's right, Barry Allen, aka The Flash. I think that there are many similarities between Peter Parker and Barry Allen, such as both being scientists that obtained their powers on accidental circumstances. Thus, I would think that Tobey isn't that bad in the role, considering he partially played the role in Spider-Man 1. I say partially because it was only in the beginning of that movie that Peter was portrayed as a nerdy, awkward, anti-socialite. Thus, with the rumored Flash movie up ahead, could Tobey Maguire pull it off? I would actually think so.
