Scott Pilgrim has Captain America, Superman, Captain Marvel and Huntress.

Can't find the original English dialogue

I actually pointed this out myself but I deleted it because I don’t think Scott Pilgrim counts because it is a ‘comic book movie’ even its not a superhero movie. It’s based on a comic, and the OP is asking which non-comic book movies have a large sum of actors who have played cbm roles.
