9 celebrity couples who starred in Marvel or DC movies together, from Tom Holland and Zendaya in Spider-Man to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s wedding after Green Lantern
- Before getting back with J-Lo, Ben Affleck was married to Jennifer Garner, who he got to know better in Daredevil, while Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst dated during Spider-Man
- Andrew Garfield is another Spidey who dated his on-screen love interest, Emma Stone; meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult dated through half their X-Men run
For many actors, playing a love interest in a film or TV show is just that – a role that they step out off as soon as the cameras stop rolling. But for some stars, their on screen chemistry continues off screen, too, or perhaps they were already a couple in real life.
From Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively tying the knot in a low-key ceremony to Zendaya and Tom Holland’s not-so-secret romance, here are nine celebrity couples who have appeared together in Marvel or DC films.
1. Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst
They dated for a short period of time before calling it quits. The director told The Sydney Morning Herald in 2007 that he “had some worries” about the actors getting “the same chemistry back” for the sequels released in 2004 and 2007. But, to his relief, they were able to deliver the expected performances.
2. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner
The pair got married in Turks and Caicos in June 2005 and Garner gave birth to their first child, daughter Violet, in December of that year. They welcomed two more children together, daughter Seraphina in 2009 and son Samuel in 2012, and announced their split in June 2015. Since breaking up, the actors have continued coparenting the three children that they share.
