It’s really not surprising that actors end up dating other actors. Especially after working on the same movie together.
Spending all those hours with each other is bound to end up sparking romance between some people, or friendship at the very least.
With that in mind, here are all of the actors in the Marvel Universe who have dated each other!
1. Robert Downey Jr. and Marisa Tomei.
Tony Stark dating Aunt May is definitely a bizarre combination that I’m sure Spider-Man would not appreciate!

4. Chris Evans and Jessica Biel.
Although Jessica didn’t exactly have a significant role in the Marvel Universe (she played Abigail Whistler in Blade: Trinity back in 2004), she still managed to snag Marvel superstar, Chris Evans.

“I mean, the first time I got married I was 23 years old,” Scarlett later told *Elle* Magazine.
“I didn’t really have an understanding of marriage,” she added . “Maybe I kind of romanticised it, I think, in a way.”
“It’s a different part of my life now,” she went on to say.
“I feel like I’m in a place in my life, I feel I’m able to make more active choices. I’m more present, I think, than I’ve been before. ”
10. Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Back in the early ‘000s, both Gwyneth and Ben were major Hollywood heartthrobs, so it’s really no wonder that they ended up together. It’s simple math.
They had a bit of a rocky on-again-off-again relationship that ultimately, did not end up working out. But it was cute while it lasted!
In an interview on *The Howard Stern Show*, Gwyneth later revealed that, in hindsight it was not the right time for them to be in a relationship with each other.
“It’s interesting, I think there’s certain boyfriends where you are trying to work stuff out, right? Like, you’re trying to heal certain stuff from your childhood and he was very much a lesson in that way,” she said .
“I’m not sure exactly what I was trying to heal in that instance, but it was …he was, ya know, it was specific.”
“I think [my parents] appreciated how he’s super intelligent and he’s really, really talented and so funny, but he was not in a good place in his life to have a girlfriend,” she added . “I think they were OK with the two of us not being together.”
