21 actors who, surprisingly, haven’t been in a superhero movie yet

Jennifer Aniston and the rest of the cast of Friends are financially set for the rest of her life. So it’s not shocking that she hasn’t done one of those huge blockbusters, but at the same time, it would be nice to see Rachel Green in one of the superhero realms.

If superhero movies had started being made at the level they are now back in the early ‘90s, there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Tom Cruise would not have been the Chris Evans of his day. However, they came later, and because of that, one of Hollywood’s most notable men was out, but in reality, many could see him possibly stepping into Gotham. Not as Batman, but perhaps one of his many foes?

Keke Palmer has said herself she wants to be Rogue from X-Men , so someone should get in touch with Kevin Feige over at Marvel and make it happen.

Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t seem to be the type to do silly, so any movie that fell into this genre would have to be directed by the likes of Tarantino or Spielberg, and the likelihood of that happening is slim, but fans can dream.

Winona Ryder’s Stranger Things costar David Harbour was in Black Widow, so why not have everyone’s favorite ‘80s darling get up in the world saving, or perhaps she could be one of the bad guys?

Are they still wondering who should play Reed Richards? Because the answer is clear: Dev Patel.

Euphoria might be one of the wildest things on television at the moment, but one thing’s for sure: That cast is exceptionally talented, including Hunter Schafer. She would shine as part of an ensemble in X-Men or Guardians of the Galaxy. Maybe even start small and appear on The Boys first?

David Tennant is already beloved in the geek community for being Doctor Who, and that’s why it’s shocking he hasn’t played something like a scientist turned evil or a side character that perhaps pops up for a few seconds and then vanishes a la Suıcide Squad.

Thandiwe Newton was phenomenal in Westworld and was a scene stealer (even if for a mere moment) in Star Wars, so the next logical step would be to cast her in a big-budget superhero movie where she can shine even more.

What’s that saying? Strike while the iron is hot? Well, it’s not getting any hotter than The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White right now. His presence in a movie would get people in seats.

Leslie Mann has proved to have great chemistry with Paul Rudd, so the fact that she hasn’t had a cameo in any of the Ant-Man movies is odd.

There is nothing that Ryan Gosling can’t do. He is and will forever be Kenough.

Rashida Jones has done a lot of great work on TV, but when it comes to movies, she sort of stays near the more centered in reality movies, so that may be why she hasn’t dove into the fantasy world of Caped Crusaders, but it would be awesome to see her in the DC realm that James Gunn is building.

Timothée Chalamet made a quick name for himself with Ladybird and Call Me By Your Name, but his performance in Wonka makes it seem like he’s ready to dive into roles that allow him to show off more of his range.

Helena Bonham Carter lives her life as a kooky comic book character, so there’s no excuse why that woman has yet to be cast in one of the dozens upon dozens of superhero movies that have been released.

Hollywood has told the story of Batman so many times, but what’s one more with Euphoria’s Jacob Elordi as a young Bruce Wayne?

Olivia Cooke is not a household name, but she's got the acting chops — trust. Bates Motel, Sound of Metal, and most recently, as part of the House of Dragon series. It's time a little insane that a talent like hers hasn't made that heroic leap yet.

This one is probably because Tim Burton hasn’t directed a superhero movie since Batman.

Maude Apatow could have easily been in any of the newest Spider-Man movies alongside her Euphoria costar Zendaya.

The latest actor to step into the role of Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa is booked and blessed but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been time to book his presence in a superhero movie. They would be so lucky to have him.

Emma Watson already played one of the most beloved characters of all time, so maybe she didn’t want to take away from Hermione, but to not see her as another incredible heroine seems criminal.
