Nick Fury
In the Avengers, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. He’s the one responsible for recruiting Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, and The Hulk to join forces to take on Loki. No biggie.
Babydoll
In Sucker Punch, Babydoll (Emily Browning) is sent to the Lennox House for the Mentally Insane when her abusive stepfather blames her for her sister’s death. Scheduled to be lobotomized, she enters a fantasy world where she encounters the rest of the Sucker Punch crew.
BoJack Horseman
BoJack Horseman (Will Arnett) is an anthropomorphic horse who starred in the ’90s sitcom Horsin’ Around. Since the show’s cancellation, he’s been bumming around with his freeloading roommate. He sees a tell-all memoir as his shot at recapturing his fame.
Hawkeye
In the Avengers, Clint Barton is Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), a master archer and an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Unlike teammates Captain America and The Hulk, he has absolutely no superpowers. But on the bright side, he’s been in a relationship with Black Widow.
Arthur Dent
In the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman) wakes to find that Earth is about to be demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. He’s able to escape, just barely, with the help of extraterrestrial hitchhiker Ford Prefect and still dressed in his bathrobe.
Karl Pilkington
Karl Pilkington is the Idiot Abroad. When Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant send him on a tour around the world, he moans and whinges every step of the way. He’s also the inventor of the Pilko Pump Pants, which you can make by sewing a travel pillow to your bum.
Groot and Rocket Raccoon
In Guardians of the Galaxy, Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) is a tree-like humanoid who teams up with Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), a genetically engineered mercenary raccoon. The best part about playing Groot is that you only need to know one line: I am Groot.
Ford Prefect
In the 1981 BBC adaptation of Douglas Adams’s the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Ford Prefect (David Dixon) is an alien journalist who’s doing undercover research on Earth. He chooses his name with the idea that it will be inconspicuous, when in fact it’s the name of a popular car model.
Gamora
In Guardians of the Galaxy, Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is an orphan from an alien world who’s trained by Thanos to be a fierce warrior and his personal assassin. When Peter Quill steals an orb, it’s Gamora who’s sent to reclaim it. Finish the look with Big Apple Beauty’s Gamora makeup tutorial.
