From Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. to Josh Brolin, here are 12 actors who have played various roles in Marvel movies.

According to Deadline, Faran Tahir will reprise his role of Raza Hamidmi al-Wazar from the opening sequences of Iron Man after almost two decades. He was the leader of an Afghanistan terrorist group who kept Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark captive in a cave before being betrayed by Jeff Bridges' Obadiah Stane.
An avid real estate investor, Downey owns several properties in California, including a $13.44 million Malibu estate and homes in Santa Monica, Venice, and Manhattan Beach. His property portfolio is estimated to be worth $40-50 million. Robert Downey Jr. net worth is $300 million.
