Actor: Chris Evans
Chris Evans played Captain America across nine Marvel films and made a character who could easily have been insufferable into the moral centre of the series, largely by declining to signal any irony about it.
He had already played the Human Torch twice, which is a rare double, and was reportedly reluctant to take the role because of the contract length.
Snowpiercer is the best non-Marvel performance, playing a revolutionary whose final confession reframes everything before it, and Knives Out let him play an unpleasant character with obvious relish.
He has directed once and works regularly on stage, and the post-Marvel career has been deliberately varied.
