If MCU actors swapped roles, who would kill it?

Alright, imagine Marvel went full chaos mode and made the actors swap characters for a movie. Who do you reckon would absolutely nail a totally different role in the MCU? Like, would Tom Holland make a hilarious Ant-Man? Or see Chris Evans as Loki? I genuinely think some of these folks could surprise us. I am curious about what you guys have in mind!

Simu Liu as Nebula would slap

Vumi_2025-11-13 01:19

Heh, how did you come up with this idea, 'cause this pairing to me seems so out of place. I'm not judging, just genuinely curious. :o

Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-13 17:05

Lmao same, like wait what??

ilikehockeyandguitar2025-11-13 05:47

I need a What If of this please Mr. Feige.

Zymph6162025-11-13 15:42

This is the kind of What If season I want. Like Chadwick Boseman doing Star-Lord.

AriSummerss2025-11-13 00:00

I feel like Chris Evan’s could be a good human torch. Also, swapped roles implies if Tom Holland was antman, then Paul Rudd would be Spider-Man at aged 50. Not that I’m complaining, he can pull it off

DireWyrm2025-11-13 00:08

Ok, I'm into Rudd Spider-Man

AriSummerss2025-11-13 00:09

He kinda gives Peter b Parker

Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-13 17:06

lol. Rudder-Man.

Dedli2025-11-13 02:00

Married Peter Parker Plz

0LoveAnonymous02025-11-13 00:04

Oh that’d be wild 😂. I feel like Robert Downey Jr. would crush it as Nick Fury. Same charisma, just with a different flavor of authority. Tom Hiddleston as Doctor Strange would also be insane. He’s already got that mystical, slightly smug vibe down. Chris Hemsworth as Star-Lord would be comedy gold.

Goldman2502025-11-13 00:22

Swapping Hiddleston and Cumberbatch would be very interesting - I think both of them would be fantastic in the other’s role.

ManitouWakinyan2025-11-13 08:31

Okay, but now I'm thinking of Sam Jackson as Iron Man, and I really like it.

xinfinitimortum2025-11-13 09:33

Upbeat_Tension_80772025-11-13 00:05

Florence Pugh as Scarlet Witch would be very interesting, especially the creepiness of the Wandavision/Multiverse of Madness version of her (which makes me think Flo would put a little bit of Midsommar energy into that version)

jfcat2002025-11-13 01:15

What about Florence Pugh as Cpt Marvel?

ExultantSandwich2025-11-13 03:02

She could definitely pull off the short hair.

But honestly I always saw Capt Marvel as kinda tall. Brie Larson is “only” 5’7, but that’s still pretty tall for a woman, and obviously it’s a little flexible with camera tricks, heels, and apple crates. etc etc

Florence looks kinda short next to her Thunderbolts co-stars.

ubutterscotchpine2025-11-13 02:04

Florence Pugh would literally kill any role. I know people reference Midsommar as some of her great work, but Lady Macbeth has me in a chokehold (and it was the role that got her Yelena in the first place).

dalcarr2025-11-13 08:27

As a Shakespeare nerd, I got really excited for a moment thinking she had played Lady Mac. I'm sure that film is excellent, but alas, not the Scottish Play

ubutterscotchpine2025-11-13 12:21

It’s not, you’re right! Macbeth is my favorite Shakespeare play, but I watched the trailer and knew going in that it definitely wasn’t Macbeth haha. (But she would play a really fantastic Lady Macbeth in the actual work though!)

theMagicSwingPiano2025-11-13 00:07

Didnt Tom Hiddleston audition for the role of Thor? Can you imagine blonde hunky Tom and thin, dark-haired Chris Hemsworth?

EdwardBil2025-11-13 06:30

Can't confirm Tom, but a different Hemsworth was going to be Thor and then they switched to Chris.

nikenike2025-11-13 00:11

Oscar Isaac as Bruce Banner. Maybe a little too on the nose with split personality characters

Michael B Jordan as Falcon / Captain America I think would be way better than Mackie

Thor, Cap, and Iron Man are examples of the most excellent casting in movie history to me so definitely nobody else for those actors and characters (no not a fan of RDJ Doom casting as of now)

NoelCanter2025-11-13 01:21

Michael B Jordan was great as Killmonger but I do wonder what him as Falcon would’ve been like. I think Mackie was mostly fine in the early movies but I just find him so boring as a more leading role in Falcon and Winter Soldier and Brave New World.

ChronoMonkeyX2025-11-13 04:33

I'd avoid casting him as a cocky flyer, don't want to bring up memories of fant4stic.

Golbeza2025-11-13 13:58

Thank god you mentioned Killmonger cuz all i thought if was F4ntastic

Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-13 17:03

I'd want the A-Train actor as Falcon-Cap.

Dedli2025-11-13 01:58

"I'm always angry"

Yeah okay I see it.

pogoyoyo12025-11-13 21:55

Michael B as falcon would go hard. I love that.

Ooh how about this - Martin Freeman as Ant Man

Bruhmangoddman2025-11-13 00:12

Larson as Agent 13, Cheadle as the High Evolutionary and Theron as Maria Hill could've been epic.

Goldman2502025-11-13 00:18

I’m curious how swapping Bradley Cooper and Chris Pratt would look - I know Cooper could bring the right energy for Star-Lord. The doubt would be, can Pratt voice act well enough to pull off Rocket?

Komaisnotsalty2025-11-13 00:25

Oh, that's a challenge I'd like to see. Pratt would have to get meaner to make it work and refrain from his tendency to hit his higher vocal register so often, but I think he could pull it off.

b2thec2025-11-13 05:27

Yeah if only Hollywood would finally cast Chris Pratt in some voice acting roles...

Komaisnotsalty2025-11-13 00:23

Sebastian Stan as Tony Stark I think would be interesting.

nicolascagessock2025-11-13 03:25

he originally auditioned for steve i think

rubyschnees2025-11-13 00:31

something tells me hailee steinfeld could play a damn good gwen stacy

MajorNoodles2025-11-13 02:16

Don't be ridiculous, that movie would be a disaster. It definitely wouldn't get a sequel

dalcarr2025-11-13 08:28

It would need so much CGI that it would look animated

Alone_Banana_35202025-11-13 00:34

Chris Evans already played Loki.

MajorNoodles2025-11-13 02:17

Twice

Grand_Toast_Dad2025-11-16 16:45

And to think that Dark World was actually the second time Loki impersonated Cap.

Jet-Let46062025-11-13 00:46

RD Jr: Dr Stephen Strange

Chris Hemworth: Star-Lord / Peter Quill

Chris Evans: John Walker

Karen Gillian: Black Widow / Natasha Romanoff

Hayley Atwell: Captain Marvel / Carol Danvers

Paul Rudd: older married Peter Parker / Spider-Man

Benedict Cumberbatch: Baron Mordo

CuteLingonberry97042025-11-13 01:08

Brie Larson as Nebula, Karen Gillian then as Captain Marvel.

shaunnotthesheep2025-11-13 06:50

I can totally see that

Tyrannosapien2025-11-13 16:14

I like the captain marvel swap. Larson is a great actor, but for some reason her MCU serious scenes just never worked for me. Outside of Nebula, Gillian kinda has a "takes no shit" look that I think would work really well with CM.

As I write this, I remember the MCU writers have never done well with CM's tone, which just makes it harder for Larson.

CuteLingonberry97042025-11-13 16:23

Gillian would be fine as a blonde, or they could just keep her red hair. Brie has shown she's plenty willing to make sacrifices to her appearance for a role. She did shave her head for a stage role, and has kept her hair very short since.

Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-13 17:05

Paul Rudd as older/(live action Spider-verse Parker) would absolutely KILL it!

jfcat2002025-11-13 01:13

Chris helmsworth and Chris Evans are basically interchangeable. I think Benedict Cumberbach could pull off a good Tony Stark. Elizabeth Olson would be an awesome Sue Storm. Christian Bale as Nick Fury.

Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-13 17:10

She would be an incredible Sue Storm! Especially after seeing the latest F4.

BaronZhiro2025-11-13 01:34

I think Cumberbatch would seem more like Stark from the comics that RDJ did.

PCofSHIELD2025-11-13 01:50

Chris Pratt or Chad Michael Murray as US Agent

Wyatt Russal as Star Lord

Wilson Bethal as Captain America

Paul Rudd as Mr Fantastic

Goldman2502025-11-13 08:31

Wyatt as Star-Lord would make the already great casting of Kurt Russell even better. Though I don’t know, do you think it’d be convincing that they’d look like father and son? /s

TomBeanWoL2025-11-13 18:43

Oh Wyatt as Star Lord would be interesting

Fawqueue2025-11-13 02:07

Robert Downey Jr. would kill it as Black Panther.

Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-13 17:10

RDJ Panther to Martin Freeman's Everett Ross:

"What do you mean '*you people'*...? Colonizer - "

tincancan152025-11-13 02:14

Idris Elba as Nick Fury

Jeff Bridges as Odin

Vin Diesel as Drax

Jaimie Alexander as Maria Hill

evapotranspire2025-11-13 04:56

I can see all of those working well!

3izwiz2025-11-13 13:41

All would work except Diesel as Drax, I don't think Vin has the physique or acting chops to pull it off.

PhaseSixer2025-11-13 15:21

Drax as we know him only exists cause of Vin disels Riddick charcter.

He could pull it off

DumplingBoiii2025-11-13 19:11

What does this mean?

PhaseSixer2025-11-13 19:36

Drax used to be THE HULK IN SPACE

Then They turned changed him into Litteraly Riddick. Complete with knives and kid sidekick

Ok_ResolvE21192025-11-14 14:06

Odin talking like The Dude is fucking gold.

BlargerJarger2025-11-13 02:24

Cumberbatch as Mephisto, Cohen as Doctor Strange.

Guy Pierce as Tony Stark, RDj as Aldrich Killian.

Every MCU actor as a different Kang.

L3tsseewhathappens2025-11-13 02:37

I think Human Torch Chris Evans would make a great Captain America.

Orion141592025-11-13 13:20

Bold take

Gilded-Mongoose2025-11-13 17:06

And Human Torch Michael B. Jordan would make a great Captain Falcon.

chickenkebaap2025-11-13 02:51

Iron man and Doctor Doom

Oh wait ….

Ornery_10042025-11-13 03:20

Bautista and Vin Diesel

Slow_Librarian73952025-11-13 03:44

Imagine if Robert Downey Jr had a go at playing Doom instead of… oh

hyr27112025-11-13 06:22

Jon Bernthal as Wolverine

Henry Simmons (AoS) as Luke Cage

Sebastian Stan as Danny Ketch Ghost Rider

Ben Barnes (Billy Russo/Jigsaw) as Bucky Barnes

Choice_Band_39522025-11-13 11:32

Jon Berrnthal as Wolverine can actually work

dcab872025-11-13 17:02

'm ask you sumthn', Bub.

bugcatcher_billy2025-11-13 18:54

"How ya' doin Red""

pyrosharkers2025-11-13 19:32

With wolvie Hugh jackman is the character, kinda how people feel like RDJ is Ironman/ Tony stark

pyrosharkers2025-11-13 19:34

Although I think it would be funny if Human torch was still Chris Evans

Hi_Im_Dadbot2025-11-13 06:34

I think Brie Larson would have made an amazing Wasp. Not sure how Lily would have done as Captain Marvel, though.

Liz4rdKah-1ng2025-11-13 06:35

Ok let’s go wild.
Sylvester Stallone: Dr. Hank Pym
Harrison Ford: Howard Stark.

Forsaken_Club53102025-11-13 06:46

Chris Evans as Johnny Storm, like he played before. That's bloody fantastic!

Idris Elba as Nick Fury instead of Heimdall

Tom Hiddlestone as Winter Soldier

Chris Hemsworth as Mr Fantastic, he can play pretty douche really well and has incredible comedic timing

Sega_Genitals2025-11-13 07:54

Ethan Hawke - Benedict Cumberbatch

UnemployedTechie20212025-11-13 08:20

haunted_nipple2025-11-13 08:24

I'd like to see Sebastian Stan play early Loki, he does a great evil grin.

Ent3rpris32025-11-13 08:25

I think RDJ could be a great Loki.

WitnessDesperate48542025-11-13 08:33

RDJ as Mysterio would have been awesome

Shagyam2025-11-13 08:45

Has someone said John Krasinski and Randall Park yet?

evilprozac792025-11-13 08:52

Matt Damon as Hawkeye

Ryan Reynolds as Loki

Charlize Theron as Hela

Paul Rudd as Star-Lord

reaper889112025-11-13 09:48

I wanna see a skit where RDJ plays.... everyone..

JeffreyFusRohDahmer2025-11-13 10:19

Bautista as Thanos. (Knock at the Cabin shows he had an amazing vocal range with dialogue)

Brolin as Drax?

Rockky672025-11-13 10:23

Lee Pace would have made a great older Adam Warlock

caveman73922025-11-13 11:46

Kathryn Hahn as Aunt May

John C Reilly as Ben Grimm

Natalie Portman as Wanda Maximoff

cannotaccessorize2025-11-13 12:58

Cobie Smulders (Agent Maria Hill) would have made an incredible Black Widow

Orion141592025-11-13 13:19

If we're now including multiverse characters, a 3 way trade - Ryan Reynolds as a wizened Spider-Man, Tom Holland as Quicksilver (preferably with a longer screen run), and Aaron Taylor Johnson as Deadpool

Arguably not as good as we got with Ryan as Deadpool (because that dude just *is* Deadpool) but I think all 3 would have killed it

MHPengwingz2025-11-13 13:52

Swap Oscar Isaac and his brother from another mother Pedro Pascal.... I would love to see how Pedro plays Moon Knight.

El_Quetzal2025-11-13 15:13

Not int the mcu yet but vanessa kirby could be a great emma frost

radroamingromanian2025-11-14 21:09

Ohhh I love this idea. I feel like this used to be a popular fan cast?

seliselio2025-11-13 16:11

Mark Ruffalo wouldve been a great Tony Stark.

canuckfan44192025-11-13 16:20

RDJ will forever and always be my Iron-Man but Tom Hiddleston would play a great version as well. So then RDJ slots into Fury. Sam J goes to JARVIS lol

Visible_Froyo54992025-11-13 16:26

RDJ as Banner would have been magnificent.

Left4DayZGone2025-11-13 18:07

Samuel L Jackson as Jarvis

KaijuDirectorOO72025-11-13 18:36

Daran Norris as JJJ.

It would be VERY hard to knock J.K. Simmons off his throne, but Daran came VERY close in the Spectacular Spider-Man show.

Desecr8or2025-11-13 19:18

Randall Park as Ant-Man.

Scary-Command22322025-11-13 20:07

I could see Charlie Cox as Antman. He's funny.

RoastMasterShawn2025-11-14 21:46

Will Poulter could play Sentry or Human Torch pretty easily. He's actually super talented, and I love Adam Warlock, so I hope we get to see more of him soon.

LightningTiger19982025-11-15 11:39

Florence Pugh as all the women

Tom Hiddleston as all the Men

Spideytorchsolos2025-11-15 12:25

Elizabeth Olsen as Jean Grey
Julia Garner as Polaris
Scarlett Johansson as Janet Van Dyne

DarthWren2025-11-15 21:42

Scarlet would be an amazing black panther

Che11p0rtal342025-11-16 05:28

Chris Hemsworth as black widow bro😏😏

cosmogyrals2025-11-16 16:01

I'm probably going to be downvoted for this, but Pedro as Tony Stark.

ExNihilo812025-11-17 00:00

Vanessa Kirby shoulda been White Queen

Professional_Tap_7342025-12-01 19:19

Sam Rockwell as Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds as Justin Hammer
