No one is denying your ability to appreciate both
Marvel and DC. I suppose some individuals would say that. They used to compete against one another in comic books, and it's possible that they do so now in
Movies as well. DC is attempting to stay up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe's dominance in the film industry. Not everyone adheres to one side of that line of demarcation. The actors listed below have appeared in both Marvel and DC films.
