WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I mentioned previously about actors that have doubled up on Marvel characters (Chris Evans) and those that have made the transition from DC to Marvel (Ryan Reynolds).

Before They Were Marvel-ous Heroes
Cyclops AKA James Marsden
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’m going to put this out there right from the start – I find James Marsden’s Cyclops so IRRITATING! In the first film it’s like watching the jealous boyfriend in a rom-com so I love the way Wolverine screws with him so often! It’s because of this that I’m …
Quicksilver AKA Evan Peters
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers It’s funny to that we actually had two Quicksilvers around the same time, only Evan Peter’s wasn’t part of the MCU until WandaVision when he oddly took up Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s mantle (still not quite clear why they did that, can’t actually remember if it was explained). Introducing the Quicksilver …
Kingo AKA Kumail Nanjiani
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers The Eternals, on the whole, are a group of superheroes that I knew absolutely nothing about until the release of the film. What I have discovered however is that the character of Kingo was skilled with a sword in the comic books and I feel it is now a …
Loki AKA Tom Hiddleston
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Now, I feel like a lot of people are going to disagree with me including Loki as a Marvel hero. Well, in my opinion – by Infinity War – he has become exactly that! He fights alongside his brother in Thor: Ragnarok and Infinity War actually opens with him …

Flame Boy AKA Michael B Jordan
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Now, as many of you know – Michael B Jordan is one of a few to play two Marvel characters, in Killmonger and Flame Boy. The mantle of the latter was originally held for my generation by Chris Evans (hence why his article is based around the same character …
Black Widow AKA Florence Pugh
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers OK, I think a lot of people are going to question me referring to her as Black Widow as Florence’s first appearance is only credited as Yelena Romanoff…and this is the same for Thunderbolts but in the comic books she is the second Black Widow, after Natasha. The only …
Daredevil AKA Ben Affleck
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I want this article to act as a reminder that, like Chris Evans with Flame Boy and Captain America, Ben Affleck had pulled on the super-suit prior to becoming Batman. I’m going to be completely honest, I haven’t seen the Daredevil from beginning to end – I always seem …
Mystique AKA Jennifer Lawrence
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I was really hoping that as part of this article I was going to be able to talk about Jennifer as Katniss Everdeen but it turns out she actually played Mystique in X-Men: First Class before taking on the role in The Hunger Games. I honestly feel that she …
