Movies with a lot of superhero/comic-book movie actors

So I saw American Hustle at the cinema last night, tbh I spend most of it thinking of this...

All the main actors having appeared in superhero/comic-book movies.
Christian Bale- Batman, Dark Knight Trilogy
Bradley Cooper- Rocket Racoon, Guardians of the Galaxy
Jeremy Renner- Hawkeye, Avengers
Amy Adams- Lois Lane, Man of Steel
Jennifer Lawrence- Mystique, X-Men: First Class
(or will appear in the case of Bradley Cooper)


Which also reminded me of watching The Prestige yet again a few days ago, starring Wolverine, Batman, Black Widow, Alfred and Dr Maya Hansen (Iron Man 3)
aka Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Scarlet Johansson, Michael Caine and Rebecca Hall



So anyone wanna play 'think of movies with more than one secret superhero in them'? and think of some others


This should help a bit-List of actors who have played comic book characters
 
"Little Women" (1994) had Batman, Spider-Man's girlfriend and The Punisher's wife.

It also had Spock's mother, the love interest of John Connor (curiously enough, not the same John Connor who was in this movie, who also was Batman), the girl from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, Michael J. Fox's girlfriend from Peter Jackson's "The Frighteners" (in this movie, and this is funny, married to almost-Marty McFly Eric Stoltz, which reminds me), Archangel Simon, and the devil that killed Arnold Schwarzenegger.
 
Pulp Fiction

- Samuel L. Jackson (Jules Winnfield) is Nick Fury in Avengers
- John Travolta (Vincent Vega) is Howard Saint, the villain in Punisher
- Uma Thurman (Mia Wallace) is Poison Ivy in Batman & Robin
- Bruce Willis (Butch Coolidge) is John Hartigan in Sin City
- Tim Roth ("Pumpkin" or "Ringo") is Emil Blonsky, aka the Abomination, in the Incredible Hulk
