If there’s one thing that the new Deadpool trailer has taught us, it is that Hollywood loves to stick with stars who they know can save the world (or potentially help destroy it).
Check out these actors who played different superheroes starting with Mr. Wade Winston Wilson.

The Hollywood heartthrob can wield both the power ring and katana with precision.

The gorgeous A-lister won more fans over shocking mutants as Storm in the X-Men films than her fake Catwoman movie.

From Johnny Storm to Captain America, Evans knows how to come across as a bad-ass for the boys and an idol for the girls.

Although 2003’s Daredevil wasn’t the greatest of feats, Affleck is getting a second crack at superhero status as The Caped Crusader in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

2008’s Hancock didn’t exactly spawn a cult following so it’s on to playing the anti-hero in Suicide Squad as Deadshot for Smith.

Studios must feel that Lisa Bonet’s hubby has an old soul for he’s always taking on more archaic characters such as Conan the Barbarian, Aquaman and even Khal Drogo in HBO’s Game of Thrones.

The Fast & Furious legend is known to save the world throughout his filmography, including the famed Chronicles of Riddick series and as Groot in the future franchise, Guardians of the Galaxy.

The stoic movie star can be on both sides of good (Jonah Hex) and evil (Thanos) thanks to his gruff and versatile personality.

The 55-year-old industry vet is known to don full costumes for his roles, as evidenced in 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and as Abe Sapien in the Hellboy movies.

Before he was ripping alien and demon guts out as Hellboy, Perlman brought Clayface to life on the classic Batman: The Animated Series.

Frank Castle is indeed “The Punisher” but Thor’s right-hand man Volstagg fits the description as well.

O.K., so Lois Lane’s “baby daddy” isn’t exactly a superhero but it’s still fascinating to know that Marsden managed to cash checks from both Marvel and DC in the same calendar year.
