+7 Marvel actors in Christmas movies
7- Kurt Russell
The movie legend gave life to Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but years later he took on the role of nothing more and nothing less than Santa Claus in the two films of The Christmas Chronicles, which you can see on the streaming service Netflix.
Plot: “Brothers Kate and Teddy Pierce hatch a plan to capture Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. When the plan goes awry, the children join forces with Saint Nicholas and his loyal elves to save the holiday before it’s too late.”.
6- Clark Gregg
Before playing Agent Phil Coulson on The Avengers and Agents of SHIELD, the actor played the widowed father of a teenage daughter in this Christmas feature film called The Road to Christmas.
Plot: “An important fashion photographer is heading to her wedding in Aspen, and unable to find a flight or rent a car, she must find another means of transportation”.
5- Jon Favreau
The 55-year-old, who is also a great director and writer, is a far cry from Happy Hogan in Four Christmases, a 2008 romantic comedy.
Plot: “Brad and Kate, a couple from San Francisco, who had planned to spend Christmas in an exotic place, far from their family, are forced to cancel their plans and attend four family celebrations on the same day”.
4- Mark Ruffalo
In his youth, when the role of the Hulk was not even planned for him, he was part of the dramatic comedy On the 2nd Day of Christmas, where he played a security guard named Bert.
Plot: “A woman and her niece are caught searching the pockets of customers in a store on Christmas Eve”.
3- Paul Rudd
Ant-Man himself was in 200 cigarettes, a little-known Christmas comedy that centers on friends from New York. Set on New Year’s Eve 1981, it did not attract critical acclaim, but audiences will perhaps give it another value.
Plot: “The adventures, stories, loves and problems of a group of young New Yorkers during the New Year celebrations in 1981”.
2- Don Cheadle
The interpreter of War Machine in the superhero franchise was in this 2000 romantic comedy, starring Nicholas Cage, with whom he maintained a great bond in the days of filming of Family man, in the role of Cash.
Plot: “An egocentric broker on Wall Street wakes up one day living another life: he is a humble tire salesman, married to his old girlfriend, whom he had abandoned years ago so that it would not hinder his career in the world of finance”.
1- Robert Downey Jr.
The great protagonist of the Infinity Saga by embodying Iron Man, the character that started the entire MCU, also has his place in Christmas films. In 1995 he was in Home for the Holidays, directed by Jodie Foster.
Plot: “An American family gathers in Baltimore for Thanksgiving. An annual routine for Claudia who is preparing to do it this time with less enthusiasm than ever”.
