This article explores the connection between the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the British science fiction series Black Mirror, highlighting the shared appearances of several notable actors. It focuses on Daniel Kaluuya's roles in both franchises, showcasing his acclaimed performances in both 'Black Mirror's' 'Fifteen Million Merits' and 'Black Panther'.
The MCU has grown so large over the years that many actors who've appeared in different series have also appeared in the superhero franchise - which is notably true for 15 actors who also had roles in Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror . Marvel Studios has had fantastic success when it comes to casting of the universe, with some actors being essentially synonymous with their characters at this point.
14 Hayley Atwell Season 2, Episode 2: "Be Right Back" Close Hayley Atwell first appeared in the MCU at its beginning, playing Peggy Carter - the love interest of Captain America - in Captain America: The First Avenger. Since then, she has been in a handful of other MCU projects, like Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and even Agent Carter, which was a series that debuted long before Marvel Studios began producing their own shows.
Coel first appeared in Black Mirror season 3, episode 1,"Nosedive," in a small role as a stewardess. Her second and larger role was the first episode of season 4, titled"USS Callister.
11 Hannah John-Kamen Season 3, Episode 2: "Playtest" Close Hannah John-Kamen's first MCU appearance was in Ant-Man and the Wasp. She played Ghost, the main antagonist of the film, who will be featured alongside Wyatt Russell in the upcoming Thunderbolts*. Her role as Ghost is relatively underrated, but her progression as a character in Thunderbolts* should help to make her a more prominent figure in the MCU.
9 Gugu Mbatha-Raw Season 3, Episode 4: "San Junipero" Close Gugu Mbatha-Raw worked alongside Wunmi Mosaku in Loki. In the MCU, Mbatha-Raw plays Judge Ravonna Renslayer - another key member of the Time Variance Authority who had sentenced Loki to be pruned from the sacred timeline, and was one of the main antagonists of the series. Renslayer also had a significant connection to Kang the Conqueror variant He Who Remains as per Loki, having been a key part of his rise to power.
Benedict Wong also appears in Black Mirror, having a solid role in season 3, episode 6,"Hated in the Nation." The episode is about a pair of detectives investigating a number of deaths that involve the targets of social media hatred. Benedict Wong also begins work on the case for the National Crime Agency.
Adam Warlock plays a massive role in the Infinity Gauntlet Saga for Marvel Comics, so it was surprising he didn't appear in Avengers: Infinity War. 4 Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Season 5, Episode 1: "Striking Vipers" Close Although it won't be released until December 2025, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will be starring as the titular character in the Wonder Man TV series for the MCU. Wonder Man will follow Simon Williams who is a superpowered actor and stuntperson who auditions for the lead in a superhero television series.
Pom Klementieff is the third MCU actor to be featured in Black Mirror's"Striking Vipers." Her role is quite different from Anthony Mackie and Yahya Adbul-Mateen II's characters, as she is the virtual reality fighting avatar that Abdul-Mateen II's character both uses in fights, and to sleep with Anthony Mackie's own fighting avatar.
