12 British Actors We'd Love to See In Marvel Movies (And Who They Could Play)

9. Matt Smith (Arcade)

mattsmitharcade B-List Spider-Man villain Arcade had never really crossed my mind as a suitable character to make the transition from comic book to big screen, but that was until I thought about the possibility of a certain Matt Smith playing him. Although Smith has lost his floppy locks since stepping down from Doctor Who, seeing him with them whilst wearing his trademark bow tie makes me think the likeness between him and Arcade makes the possibility of him playing the villains too good of an opportunity to miss. Smith is a supremely talented actor whose eccentricity could make an otherwise fairly uninteresting character in to a surprise big screen goliath in a future Amazing Spider-Man sequel. His 'Murderworld' contraptions would be great in a live action movie. Smith wouldn't be the first ex-Doctor to make the move to a big screen Marvel movie, of course. Christopher Eccleston is set to star as Malekith the accursed in the upcoming Thor: The Dark World.
