It’s probably not surprising when actors known for their work in Hollywood’s superhero adaptations turn out to be in other big hits; after all, Hollywood tends to typecast people, and most of the highest-grossing films in any given year are tentpole, franchise action and fantasy films.Still, it’s curious to note that at a time when there haven’t been any superheroes at the multiplexes in a few months and won’t be for another six weeks or so, the top four movies at the U.S. box office all star actors known for their work in comic book adaptations.The top movie so far this weekend, and projected to hold at that point, is Oz the Great and Powerful. Last week’s #1 movie by a wide margin, the film stars James Franco, who broke out as a star following his work in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films.
