21 Perfect Superhero Movie Casting Choices That Nailed Their Characters
14. Mark Ruffalo As Bruce Banner - Marvel Cinematic Universe
Marvel Studios
Mark Ruffalo is just a wonderful human being. On top of 'feeling the Bern' and campaigning on numerous environmental issues, the actor has taken on the role of Bruce Banner with ease, easily outclassing all former actors who've taken a stab at the character in the past.
He gets some of the best scenes in both Avengers films, so it sucks so much that we're yet to see Ruffalo get an entire solo film to flex his jolly green acting muscles.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
