4 Actors Who Have Played Multiple Superheroes

 Superhero films have always been popular. Hollywood has rebooted Batman and Superman a lot : Batman Begins and Man of Steel as the two most recent series. Plus studios have dug deeper into comic book canon to find more superheroes to make movies about. Given the sheer number of films about different heroes, it’s no wonder that some actors and actresses have played more than one iconic character. We’re not even going to go into people who have acted in multiple movies based on comic books (those numbers are ridiculous), just the heroes of the stories.

Ryan Reynolds

Back in 2009, Reynolds played Wade Wilson, who becomes Deadpool, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Then two years later he starred in Green Lantern as the titular character — although that film didn’t do so well. People liked his portrayal of Deadpool better, which seems to be why he’s getting his own movie. 

Ben Affleck

Remember when Affleck starred as the blind hero of Daredevil? No? That’s okay, it’s better if you don’t. After playing normal humans for a decade, Affleck got cast as the next caped crusader in Batman vs. Superman. We’re excited to see the actor don the famous bat suit in 2015. 

Halle Berry

For almost 15 years Berry has played Storm, one of the core members of the X-Men, but there was that brief stint when she went rogue and played Catwoman in the 2004 movie. However, we like her better as Storm, a role she’ll reprise in X-Men: Days of Future Past. 

Chris Evans

Before he was Captain America, Evans played hotshot superhero Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. It was quite a jump from showoff Johnny Storm to stand-up guy Steve Rogers, but we think Evans pulled it off. We’re excited to see him as Captain America again this spring in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

2014 preview: Google Glass for the masses

This time next year, we might all be wearing computers on our heads. Already a hit with early adopters, the much-hyped Google Glass headset will be released to the public in 2014. And in response to feedback from those testers, it is likely to boast a few extra features.

For starters, developers are keen to incorporate eye-tracking so that the device can overlay information on top of objects or areas that the wearer is gazing at. That could boost the headset's ability to deliver ultra-personal, targeted advertising.

Glass could also get tricked out with gesture recognition, which would allow users to control it just by waving their hands.

The Explorer program to test early versions of Glass has already given rise to a slew of potentially game-changing applications. For example, it has allowed surgeons to transmit their view of an operation to medical students elsewhere, and helped people watch what they eat – literally – as a way of managing diabetes.

Critics say the headset's camera will destroy privacy, and its distracting screen could ruin social interaction. But if Glass and several competing products launch next year as expected, millions of people could become hooked. That's bound to change the way we look at the world.
