When it comes to the world of entertainment, movies, video games and soccer are all near and dear to our hearts. With the release of Alien: Covenant, the Friday the 13th video game and Saturday's Champions League final, we naturally had the idea of creating a starting XI that consists of horror movie icons.
The Starting XI of Horror Movie Icons
Brazilian superstar Neymar got a bit part in Vin Diesel's new movie xXx: Return of Xander Cage, which features the Barcelona forward having a conversation about heroes with Samuel L. Jackson over lunch before knocking a would-be armed robber unconscious with a napkin holder. We are not making any of that up.
Atletico Madrid fans might think French striker Antoine Griezmann is a superhero, but he hasn't had a chance to show that until now.
Griezmann, 25, will reportedly portray Superman in the French-language version of The Lego Batman Movie, due out on February 8. He announced his role in a video on his Facebook page.

Nicolas Cage is making/has made a movie called Arsenal, which, from the trailer, you might not think is about soccer, specifically not about the North London-based EPL team of the same name.
But it is.
For a non-soccer, more Nicolas Cage-focused take on the trailer, read UPROXX's Brian Grubb on the subject.

We just want everybody to know that the trailer for the new xXx movie, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, has convinced us that the movie is basically perfect in every way.
We know we're a soccer website. Relax. Neymar is in it.
Neymar's acting career is reportedly off to a hot start while he waits his turn to represent Brazil this summer. The Brazil captain will evidently appear in the next xXx movie with Vin Diesel.
Wait, what? Like Vin Diesel the person? Not some copycat Vin Diesel look-alike? Oh, this is going to be grand.
We, for one, can't wait for xXx: State of the Selecao, or whatever it's called. Look at this Instagram post and tell us you're not excited for this.
Ronaldinho is going to be a movie star. An action movie star. In a movie. With Mike Tyson in it. Apologies for the sentence fragments so far, but my brain has exploded. It's the best I can do, given the circumstances.
