13 Star Wars Actors Who Were Also In Marvel Movies
4. Donnie Yen
The Actor: A trained martial artist, Yen has worked both as an actor and action co-ordinator on numerous films, mostly foreign-language fare such as the Jet Li starring Hero, while next year he'll be in Netflix's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sequel, Sword of Destiny. Role In Star Wars: Another one in Edward's standalone Rogue One, which on cast alone is one of the most interesting films of next year (plus, y'know, it's Star Wars!). Again his exact role is unknown, but hopefully he'll be getting to show off his martial art abilities. Role In Marvel: Long before Iron Man launched Phase 1, Marvel's best screen offerings were the Blade films, with Wesley Snipes as the titular vampire. Yen appeared in Blade II as Snowman, and also worked on the film as the action choreographer.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
