This is the only comic book villain role the actor has played. In Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel series, Lucas Lee is a mega action film star and the primary villain in the second volume of the series.

His other notable comic book role is playing Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four. In the 2005 20th Century Fox film, Chris Evans bagged the role of the Human Torch.
