If there’s an actor who plays a character in a DC movie, then plays another character in a Marvel movie, this probably won’t surprise you. But what if there were actors who played several different characters in the same Marvel movies.
Below, let’s take a look at 8 such cases!
1. Duong Tu Quynh
First, in GotG 2, Michelle plays Aleta Ogord. Later in Shang-Chi, she played the role of Ying Nan. As we know, both Aleta and Jiang Nan are still alive, and both of these characters have growth potential, so I’m curious which character Michelle Yeoh will prioritize in the future.
2. Alfred Woodard
Alfre Woodard made a brief appearance in Captain America: Civil War as Miriam Sharpe – a mother who blames Tony Stark for her son’s death in Sokovia. However, the actress also appeared in the second season of Luke Cage as Mariah Dillard – the main antagonist of the series who threatens Luke (especially in the second season).
3. Mahershala Ali
Mahershala Ali had a great performance in Luke Cage season one. But unfortunately his character soon died. But that’s not the end for Ali in the Marvel movies. He has been confirmed to appear as Blade on the big screen.
Interestingly, we even heard Mahershala Ali’s voice as Blade in the Eternals post-credits episode. The person who spoke to Dane Whitman during the post-credits scene was Blade.
4. Tony Curran
In Thor: The Dark World, Tony Curran appeared briefly as Bor, Odin’s father. Curran then appeared in the Netflix series Daredevil as Finn Cooley, an evil and dangerous Irish gangster.
5. Kenneth Choi
Choi made his debut in Captain America: The First Avenger as Jim Morita. Later, in the Tom Holland Spider-Man films, Choi returns as Principal Morita (the character is a descendant of Jim).
6. Benedict Cumberbatch
This is a unique case, as Cumberbatch plays two different characters in the same movie. First, Cumberbatch plays Stephen Strange. Second, he also portrays Dormammu – the big villain that Strange tackles at the climax of the film. The voice actor for this character is not Cumberbatch, but the face is Cumberbatch’s. It also means that when Strange was fighting Dormammu, Benedict Cumberbatch was actually dueling himself.
7. Clancy Brown
Clancy Brown is the voice of Surtur in Thor Ragnarok. But on Netflix, he also plays Schoonover – the main target of the Punisher in Daredevil season 2.
8. Gemma Chan
Gemma Chan previously played Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel. Then, she played Sersi in the recent blockbuster The Eternals.
