A couple of weeks ago, Chris Hemsworth told an interviewer that no MCU actor could cross over to a different comic book movie universe. While many assumed that this could be stipulated in the contract, we highly doubt it. In actuality, a host of actors have appeared in both DC and Marvel comic book adaptations. Ryan Reynolds, who scored roles in Green Lantern, Deadpool, Blade, and R.I.P.D., may be the most widely known of these actors. Most recently, Josh Brolin made the jump from one universe to the other, playing Thanos in the MCU and also signing a multi-picture deal with 20th Century Fox to portray Cable.
So there are numerous examples. More could appear in the following years, given moviegoers’ appetite for this genre.
Vincent D'Onofrio, who appeared in the Netflix corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Wilson Fisk, would like to join the crowd. In a first season that blew everybody away, D'Onofrio's Kingpin stole the show. He’s now regarded as the MCU’s best villain. Yes, he’s even better than Loki.
It helped to have his story told over the course of an entire season, rather than just a couple of hours.
As a number of his fellow Marvel stars did, D'Onofrio congratulated the Wonder Woman team for delivering one of the finest superhero movies ever. As it happens, a fan asked the actor whether he'd join the DC Extended Universe.
Would you appear in the DCEU if a role were offered to you?

We're thinking that he'd make a great addition to the DCEU! Maybe Matt Reeves should pay attention!
