Marvel and DC are planning on releasing comic book films through 2021 and beyond, so it is no surprise that is seems like everyone in Hollywood has taken a role in this growing genre. Oscar nominee Benedict Cumberbatch has taken a role in Doctor Strange and Will Smith will be working with DC in David Ayer's upcoming Suicide Squad.

Even though these roles are being snatched up left and right, many of Hollywood’s top talent hasn't taken one, including Jake Gyllenhaal, Emily Blunt and Bryan Cranston. Will these famous actors and actresses end up in the Marvel cinematic universe or working with DC? What about in Fox's X-Men franchise or with Sony on Spider-Man? Only time will tell, but a few of these actors seem like a perfect fit for comic book roles.

In honor of everything comic book movie related, TheCelebrityCafe.com is counting down the top ten actors/actresses who have yet to be cast in a comic book film. From Johnny Depp to David Morrissey, hopefully they will be joining these expanding cinematic universes and bringing comic book pages to life on the big screen.

10. David Morrissey

David Morrissey terrified audiences as The Governor on AMC’s The Walking Dead. Morrissey embodied and challenged everything that makes a villain stand out. He would be perfect in the darker DC universe as a villain.

9. Michelle Williams

Oscar nominated, Michelle Williams has come into her own in recent years with some incredible roles including, My Week with Marilyn and Blue Valentine. Williams could play a variety of roles in any comic book universe because she has the ability to transform herself and has a natural subtly to her acting that draws in audiences. She could play a famous female superhero or even a villain.

8. David Oyelowo

David Oyelowo is a hot name right now in the movie industry off of his performance in Selma. Oyelowo has the ability to transform himself into different characters and could make a great villain or hero depending on the role. Oyelowo was amongst names being mentioned for Black Panther but the role went to Chadwick Boseman.

7. Johnny Depp

This choice might surprise some but Depp has proven that he is an incredible character actor. Put aside the crazy makeup and over the top outfits and look to roles like Blow and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Depp is a brilliant actor who becomes the character he is given.

Lately, it seems as though Depp has taken that too far, so why not let him try out a subtle comic book character that he could develop over a few films and build upon his character development? This might be an odd choice but could be a stepping stone for Depp to return to his true acting form.

6. Bryan Cranston

When it was announced that Bryan Cranston would be wrapping up Breaking Bad and the DC was looking for a Lex Luthor in the upcoming Batman v. Superman, fans hoped that he'd take the role, even making fan art. In the end the role went to Jessie Eisenberg. Simply put, Cranston is too talented to not get picked up by either Marvel or DC.

5. Mila Kunis

Mila Kunis will soon be seen in Jupiter Ascending, but Kunis has more to offer to the sci-fi/comic book universes. She has the ability to channel comedy and intensity into her roles and is also beautiful. She would fit into the DC universe perfectly as a strong female superhero.

4. Emily Blunt

When Marvel announced at their big summer event that they would be making a Captain Marvel movie, a short list of female stars surfaced. On that list was Emily Blunt, who proved that she could not only be an incredible actress but an action hero in Edge of Tomorrow. Blunt should be cast as Captain Marvel.

3. Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal has recently turned down a role in Suicide Squad but the part of Rick Flagg might have not been the best fit for his talent. Gyllenhaal has the ability to lead a comic book franchise. It is clear that he can become a character after his shocking transformation in Nightcrawler, so let’s give Gyllenhaal a flagship role instead of Tom Hardy’s runner up.

2. Daniel Day Lewis

When Daniel Day Lewis is announces that he will be in a movie, Oscar nomination talk starts that day. Why not step out of the box and join one of the comic book movie franchises? After all actors like Anthony Hopkins and Robert Redford have joined the Marvel cinematic universe. It’s a long shot, but Lewis in a comic book role would be fantastic.

1. Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio has advanced his career far past his early roles and is one of Hollywood’s top talents. Whichever studio would be able to sign DiCaprio to a comic book movie deal would be winning the entire game.

DiCaprio brings an Oscar-level performance to every role he chooses and if he joined the either universe he could play a hero or villain and elevate that film to an entirely new level.
