Robert Downey Jr. has slipped into the “Iron Man” armor ten times. It’s a super-heroic record, ahead of the nine incarnations of Chris Evans as Captain America and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
Who is the actor who has played a superhero the most times on screen? Many might think it’s Australian Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, but that’s not the case! It is in fact the American Robert Downey Jr. who holds this honorary title with no less than ten incarnations of Iron Man!
Robert Downey Jr. began his rich superheroic journey within the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008 with the first Iron Man, the founding act of said MCU. He will find his Tony Stark character for the two official sequels, Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3, but also in the four Avengers films, in Captain America: Civil War and in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
If you’ve done the count, we’re down to nine films. You can not find what is the tenth performance of Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man? It is true that we may have forgotten that the actor graced the feature film The Incredible Hulk by Louis Leterrier with a brief cameo in the role that brought him international fame!
Behind Robert Downey Jr., the actors who have played a superhero the most times are Chris Evans as Captain America (9 times) and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (8 times, or even 9 if we take into account the cameo in Deadpool 2 which featured footage from X-Men Origins: Wolverine).
Finally, it should be noted, to do him justice, that an actor from the MCU shares the record of Robert Downey Jr. but that he cannot really be considered ex-aequo because… it is simply not a question of a super hero ! You have it ? It is Samuel L. Jackson, who lent his features to Nick Fury ten times too.
