Cricket fans and movie buffs sometimes see themselves at the same juncture due to their favourite movies and actors. In the history of world cinema, there have been some successful movie franchises that have garnered a lot of fans. Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), DC Cinematic Universe, Harry Porter, Jurassic Park, and Star Wars are some of the franchises that have created large fan bases of theirs. MCU is one such franchise that has roped in some illustrious Hollywood actors. These artists have a large fan following which includes a lot of avid cricket supporters as well. Somewhere in their lives, these cricket fans might have imagined their favourite Marvel actors doing biopics of their most loved cricketers. Discussing more, let’s know five renowned Marvel actors who will be fit to play some eminent cricketing figures efficiently. Here are five Marvel actors who can play the role of some famous cricketers proficiently: 5. Jeremy Renner as Michael Clarke Jeremy-Renner-and-Michael-Clarke.

He has worked in four movies and two Television (TV) series for the MCU, so far. In the upcoming years, he might feature in more movies from the blockbuster franchise. The California-born United States (US) actor resembles former Australia skipper Michael Clarke. In the future, if any filmmaker plans a biopic on the Aussie legend, Renner will be the best to play his role. The 53-year-old has bagged 52 accolades in his 28-year acting career. Talking about Clarke, he served the Australian cricket team from 2003 to 2015 and amassed more than 17000 runs in 394 matches across all formats. 4. Tom Hiddleston as James Anderson Tom-Hiddlestone-and-James-Anderson. (Photo Source: Twitter) English actor Tom Hiddleston plays the character of Loki in MCU movies. His first movie in the franchise was Thor released in 2010. In 2021, he got the lead role in the TV series Loki. His acting in the movies and series was appreciated by several film critics and currently, he is one of the most crucial parts of the franchise. Hiddleston’s personality matches with England’s veteran pacer James Anderson. Hiddleston is tall and fit which makes him the perfect actor to play a sportsman like Anderson, who is active in international cricket at the age of 41 and is also the third-leading wicket-taker in Tests with 690 scalps in 183 matches. 3. Mark Ruffalo as Brad Hodge Mark-Ruffalo-and-Brad-Hodge. (Photo Source: Twitter) American actor Mark Ruffalo has been a part of MCU movies since 2012 as he plays the pivotal role of Bruce Banner/Hulk. The 56-year-old actor has done nine movies and a TV series for the MCU. In 2022, he starred in three episodes of MCU’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Ruffalo’s look-alike can be found in cricket and that’s former Australia batter Brad Hodge. Similar looks and Ruffalo’s brilliant acting skills make him an actor who can play the former Aussie batter in a movie. Hodge retired from international cricket in 2014, with 1261 runs in 46 international games. In Australia’s domestic cricket, Hodge is a huge figure as he accumulated more than 33000 runs in more than 750 matches in his 25-year career. 2. Chris Hemsworth as Shane Warne Chris Hemsworth and Shane Warne (Photo Source: Twitter) Australian actor Chris Hemsworth broke into the MCU in 2011 with his maiden appearance as Thor in Thor. He has worked in nine MCU movies in his more than two-decade-long acting career and most of his films became hits at the box office. Hemsworth is considered one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood and his notable works such as Star Trek, The Cabin In The Woods, and Avengers: Endgame prove it. Late Australia legend Shane Warne once revealed that he wants Leonardo DiCaprio or Hemsworth to play him in his biopic. Like the former Aussie leggie, Hemsworth is also Australian, and this similarity between both personalities along with the latter’s acting prowess can attract Australian cricket fans and movie lovers towards the box office. Warne served Australia from 1992-2007 and during this period, he grabbed 708 wickets in 273 innings of 145 Tests. With these numbers, he is the second-leading wicket-taker in cricket’s longest format. He also played a vital role in Australia’s second World Cup title win in 1999, picking up 20 wickets in 10 matches at a frugal economy of 3.82. 1. Benedict Cumberbatch as Eoin Morgan Benedict Cumberbatch and Eoin Morgan. (Photo Source: Twitter) English actor Benedict Cumberbatch is known for his acting excellence and he has proven it with his work in the British film industry and Hollywood. Cumberbatch, who became famous with the TV series Sherlock, joined the MCU with Doctor Strange in 2016. He played the character of Doctor Strange in other MCU blockbusters such as Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Cumberbatch is known for his calm and composed attitude which draws a similarity between him and the former England captain Eoin Morgan. Like Cumberbatch, Morgan is also known for composure. Riding on Morgan’s leadership skills, England won the 2019 World Cup. In the future, if Morgan’s achievement is celebrated through a biopic, Cumberbatch will be the best actor to play the role as both share similar traits.
