30. Aimee Garcia

Aimee Garcia has been in a comic book project. She played Ella Lopez in Lucifer. Viewers may not actually know this, but Lucifer is a DC Comics character. He’s based on the Neil Gaiman Lucifer from Sandman.

Throughout the series, Aimee Garcia has performed well, showing a light-hearted, goofy, and intelligent side of the character. These are all traits that would be perfect for Anya Sofía Corazón a.k.a. Araña or Spider-Girl. And if a project like that doesn’t come along in live-action form, she could voice the role in another Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movie if the character is introduced.

29. Michel Jai White

Having appeared in Spawn, The Dark Knight and Arrow, Michael Jai White is another actor that’s familiar with the comic book genre. He’s 54 years old and has remained in phenomenal shape physically. Better than some people half his age. He’s also still practicing martial arts.

While they may be searching, Marvel Studios hasn’t started casting for the X-Men yet. One of the characters we’re likely to see is Bishop. Michael Jai White would fit perfectly in a one time role as this character. He may not need to show off his incredible martial arts kicks, but he’d be more than capable of using Bishop’s futuristic guns, throwing punches, and using his mutant powers.
