There are some who would argue (perhaps unhappily) that superhero movies are taking over TV and film, and perhaps they're on to something, with more and more actors filling their IMDB pages with comic-book credits.

Whether it's down to parallel dimensions or just a case of unimaginative casting, a surprising number of actors have portrayed characters from both the world of Marvel Comics and their rivals DC.

(Note: We've included MCU, Spider-Man and X-Men stars under Marvel, and discounted adaptations of DC-owned comics – eg The Losers – that have nothing to do with the shared universe.)
