If you’ve watched the Marvel movies in order, then you surely know they collectively make up a massive tapestry of storytelling – one that includes a vast array of characters. Viewers have been introduced to countless faces by way of the interconnected superhero franchise, including valiant do-gooders, nefarious villains and courageous allies. Of course, throughout the series’ history, some actors have played their respective roles more frequently than others. There are a select few Marvel Cinematic Universe stars who’ve appeared in the most films set in the fictional world, and we’re going to discuss them.
Before we talk about these performers (some of which are amongst the highest-paid MCU stars), let’s clarify a few things. First off, this list only includes credits for films in the Disney-produced franchise. The TV shows were not taken into account but are mentioned here and there. Also, the actors considered for this ranking have at least seven films under their belts. Blockbusters in which these stars make cameos in mid or post-credits scenes are also included in their tally of credits. Though that doesn’t include sequences that are scenes from other productions. (Think of the Civil War tag at the end of Ant-Man.) Finally, upcoming Marvel movies aren’t included here. So with all of that out of the way, let’s talk about the veterans of this lucrative shared universe.
