28 Marvel Actors’ Movies On Netflix That 'Avengers' Fans Need To Stream ASAP

2019 is about to be a major year for MCU — in fact, probably the biggest for the studio yet. After this year's Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp releases, Marvel fans have to hang tight for more films until next year (such as Captain Marvel and Spider-Man: Far From Home). On the bright side, IMAX's major Marvel 10th Anniversary festival is around the corner for fans to relive their favorites on the big screen. And of course, there's a ton of Marvel actors' movies to stream on Netflix to hold fans over and see their favorite MCU characters in a whole new light.

At the moment, there are some Marvel films on the streaming service, including Thor: Ragnarok, Doctor Strange, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. But part of the fun of the MCU-verse is falling in love with the characters and the actors themselves. Fans can watch Mark Ruffalo (who played The Hulk) fall for his childhood sweetheart in lighthearted rom-com 13 Going on 30. They can see Chadwick Boseman channel legendary MLB star Jackie Robinson before he was Black Panther in 42. Avengers stars Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen even reunited for 2017's thriller Wind River, which is also on Netflix.

Given how massive MCU and its characters are, fans may forget the actors' careers and roles outside Marvel. (A handful, including Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Brolin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Downey Jr., and Jeremy Renner, have even been nominated for Oscars.) Watching these actors outside of their iconic superhero roles can be just as enjoyable.

1. Playing It Cool (2014)

In this rom-com, Chris Evans swaps the Captain America suit for a T-shirt and zip-up hoodie to channel the everyday man. He plays a screenwriter who hopelessly falls in love with a woman (played Michelle Monaghan) who's already engaged. And Falcon himself (Anthony Mackie) also makes an appearance.

3. Before We Go (2014)

Not only does Evans star in this dramatic romance, but he took his talents off-screen to direct it as well. In the film, Evans plays opposite Alice Eve as two strangers whose lives are altered after a chance meeting in New York City's Grand Central. Evans delivers romantic lines like, "We love who we love." In addition, his performance is totally swoon-worthy.

4. Just Friends (2005)

In this must-see romantic comedy, Reynolds plays a formerly overweight teenager turned big-shot record label executive who winds up back in his New Jersey hometown fighting for the girl of his dreams. With Anna Faris as his kooky pop star client and so many quotable lines, this Christmas-themed flick is one to watch all year long.

5. Adventureland (2009)

When a recent college grad (Jesse Eisenberg) can't take his anticipated trip to Europe in the Summer of 1987, he instead takes a lame summer job at a local amusement park where he falls for a colleague (Kristen Stewart).

7. The Voices (2014)

Although this thriller/horror film strays from most of Reynolds' work, it still has a hint of comedy he's known for intact. In the film, he stars as a peculiar factory worker who fights thoughts from his talking cat persuading him to be a killer with his dog's input to be an innocent, normal man.

8. Guess Who (2005)

In this romantic comedy, Zoe Saldana plays a smitten woman who brings her white boyfriend (Ashton Kutcher) home to her black family and her intimidating father (Bernie Mac).

15. Spotlight (2015)

In this Oscar-winning crime drama, Ruffalo plays one of few Boston Globe reporters who helped expose a cover-up within the Roman Catholic Church in 2001. Based on a true story, the riveting, yet chilling, film is one Netflix users can't miss.

16. 13 Going on 30 (2004)

Mark Ruffalo definitely had a solid streak of '00s rom-coms and no one was mad at it.

27. The Fundamentals of Caring (2016)

In a different, perhaps more vulnerable performance for the actor, Rudd plays a writer who retires after personal tragedy strikes his life and leads him to become a caregiver for a disabled teen. The two embark on a road trip and change perspectives on life in this inspirational drama.

28. Wet Hot American Summer (2001)

In a true blast from the past and cult classic, Rudd stars alongside Amy Poehler, Elizabeth Banks, and more, as summer camp counselors in 1981.
