17 Marvel Actors Recast As DC Universe Characters In Stunning AI Art

As we all know, Marvel and DC are the two biggest behemoths in the superhero genre, and their great rivalry has been going on for decades, from comic pages to the big screen. Ever since 2008, Marvel Studios has kickstarted its most ambitious cinematic universe in history with the MCU, and 5 years later, DC attempted to follow up with their own DC Extended Universe as well.

The two iconic franchises have been going toe-to-toe for more than a decade at the box office, and now, with James Gunn moving to Warner Bros. to reboot the DC Universe, we can expect this rivalry to keep going for a long time.

For now, the MCU seems to have the upper edge, as it features many talented actors who have cemented their places in the expansive saga, such as Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson. However, what would these actors look like if they were recast as DC characters? These AI-generated images of Redditor u/TheOGCukeman got you covered.

#1. Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) as Batman

Given both of them are genius, billionaires, playboys, philanthropists, and have a superhero persona, Robert Downey Jr. would make a great Bruce Wayne/Batman.

#2. Chris Evans (Captain America) as Superman

His strong sense of righteousness and justice as Steve Rogers makes Chris Evans the perfect candidate to play the Man of Steel.

#3. Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch) as Poison Ivy

Elizabeth Olsen has experience playing the complex character in Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff, so portraying the seductive Ivy would be a walk in the park for her.

#4. Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk) as Two-Face/Harvey Dent

When you think about it, both Harvey Dent and Bruce Banner share some eerily similarities, as they both have different personalities which they can’t contain, so Mark Ruffalo would be the perfect man for the job.

#5. Chris Hemsworth (Thor) as Aquaman

Just by the looks and his long hair alone, Chris Hemsworth suits the Aquaman character down to a T.

#6. Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) as Catwoman

Scarlett Johansson never fails to amaze us wearing a tight black jumpsuit as Natasha Romanoff, so playing an equally charming Catwoman won’t be a problem.

#7. Tom Hiddleston (Loki) as The Riddler

Who can play the Riddler better than the God of Mischief himself, Tom Hiddleston?

#8. Evangeline Lily (Hope van Dyne) as Wonder Woman

From The Wasp to Wonder Woman, is not a bad choice for Evangeline Lily.

#9. Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) as The Flash

Paul Rudd might be a bit too old to portray The Flash, but he has enough comedic aura to be one.

#10. Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) as Deathstroke

This is not the Deathstroke I had in mind. If anything, Renner looks more like Thor in a metallic suit.

#11. Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange) as Ra's Al Ghul

Having portrayed Sherlock Holmes, the British performer won’t have any problem exuding the nobility and malevolent nature of Ra’s Al Ghul

#12. Natalie Portman (Jane Foster) as Mera

Natalie Portman looks stunning as Mera, and she can reunite with Thor as Aquaman!

#13. Anthony Mackie (The Falcon) as Black Adam

Anthony Mackie as Black Adam isn’t a bad choice, but maybe Hawkman is a better suit?

#14. Clark Gregg (Phil Coulson) as Commissioner Gordon

Retire from SHIELD, Phil Coulson moves to Gotham City to be Commissioner Gordon.

#15. Sophie Turner (Jean Grey) as Supergirl

Sophie Turner has successfully portrayed a powerful character in Jean Grey/Phoenix, so she can handle Supergirl with ease as well.

#16. Olivia Munn (Psylocke) as Batgirl

Having played Psylocke in the X-Men franchise, now Olivia Munn is donning her Batsuit to eradicate crime in Gotham.

#17. Ava Starr (Ghost) as Talia Al Ghul
