10 Great Movies Starring The How I Met Your Mother Cast

10. The Avengers (2012) - Cobie Smulders

The Avengers is the most popular movie on this list, and for good reason. With its ensemble cast led by Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson, the epic superhero team-up is as fun as it is ambitious, with numerous great characters, an entertaining villain and lots of fan service.

Directed by Joss Whedon, the film stars Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, the right-hand of SHIELD Director Nick Fury (Sam Jackson).

This was Smulders' first appearance in the MCU, and despite the massive cast, she actually gets plenty of times to shine, particularly in the opening, when she attempts to chase Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and proves to be a lot more than just a one-note supporting character.

The rest of the film is an absolute blast start to finish, a blockbuster of the highest order that would eventually prove to be just the beginning of what the MCU had to offer.

Smulders reprised her role as Hill in Captain America: Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Spider-Man: Far From Home, with cameos in both Infinity War and Endgame. She might not be the biggest character, but she's certainly a welcome addition, and it stands today as Smulders' best role outside of HIMYM.
