The world is completely captured by the powerful series of both DC and Marvel Universe. Both of these franchises have contributed to the craziness and thrills of our childhoods, thanks to their incredible cinematic series, their fantastic storylines, and, of course, their incredibly talented characters. The stories and fighting had us so engrossed in them that we often failed to notice that our favorite childhood character not only played one role but also appeared in different movies.
That’s true! We just overlooked this fact maybe because we were so attracted to the storyline, or maybe the overall makeover and the scenes were so intense that we never observed it. Whatsoever the reason may be, these legendary actors never failed in bringing thrill into our lives by their magical and wonderful performances. Be it Chris Evan from Captain America and The Loser, or Catwoman who also appeared in the movie X-men as Storm. These actors and actresses justified their positions in whichever franchise they work in, whether it’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the DC Extended Universe.
C’mon, let’s have a look at some of the most iconic characters who have appeared in both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Universe!
1. Jensen and Captain America: Chris Evan!

Whenever we read the name Captain America, Chris Evan’s image always pops up in our minds. Because he is known as a synonym of Captain America. However, the majority of Marvel and DC lovers don’t know that Chris also played the role of Jensen in The Loser which is actually based on a DC comic.
