* While Red Skull's hair [[DependingOnTheWriter has been depicted as almost every other natural color]] (see comics examples), ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' has him played by the brown-haired Hugo Weaving (brown seems to be the only color his hair ''hasn't'' been in the comics).

** Liz Allan is blonde in the comics, but is [[RaceLift played by]] the brunette Laura Harrier in ''Homecoming''. Though to be fair, both ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' and ''WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan'' have Liz be brunette as well, likely to visually differentiate her from Gwen Stacy.

* Gorr the God Butcher in ''ComicBook/ThorGodOfThunder2012'' has a white and black colour scheme thanks to the Necrosword, in ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder'' however he’s got human coloured skin that becomes all white with no black (except for his fingertip and mouth) when he picks up the Necrosword. Not to mention besides colour, the comic version of Gorr was more obviously alien, being a [[Anime/DragonBallZ Frieza]]-esque extraterrestrial with a tail, while he’s a tailless HumanAlien in the film.

* ''Film/WerewolfByNight'':
** Jack Russel rather having blonde or strawberry blonde hair like the comics, has dark hair and being played Mexican actor Gael García Bernal has slightly darker skin too. To be fair, more recent comics have made Jack more of a brunette too.
** Elsa Bloodstone is a massive case of this, in the comics she’s a FieryRedhead with a TomboyishPonytail. In the special however Elsa is very dark-haired like her actress Laura Donnelly, who wears her hair in a long Jessica Jones-esque style.

** Additionally the Necrosword is coloured all black in the comics being a [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} Symbiote]] blade created by Knull. In ''Love and Thunder'' it has a brown handle and isn’t gooey, likely due to Creator/{{Sony}} owning the film rights the Symbiotes.

** Thanos has blue GlowingEyesOfDoom in the comics, here he has human-looking blue eyes, like the [[Film/HarryPotter Voldemort]] example in the film section it was likely an intentional choice to make him look more human [[UncannyValley therefore more terrifying]]. Funnily enough in TheStinger of ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' and ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' Thanos has glowing blue eyes like the comics.

* Scott Lang is a redhead in the comics, but Creator/PaulRudd plays him with black hair in ''Film/AntMan1''. His daughter Cassie also goes from having blond hair to brunette.
* Laura Barton is blonde in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'', but has dark hair in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''.
* ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}'s hair color is naturally white in the comics. While it is also white in ''Age of Ultron'', Quicksilver had earlier appeared in TheStinger of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' with brown hair. This would imply that he either dyed it white later, or that it was turned white by his powers.
* Nakia has dyed red hair in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}'' rather than dark hair like she does in the comics.
* Batroc has black hair in the comics but light brown in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''. His pointy goatee and curly mustache are also changed to a more subdued mustache and beard.
* Aldrich Killian had black hair in the comics, but blond in ''Film/IronMan3''.
* ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}'':
** Comicbook/DraxTheDestroyer has green skin in the comics, but this was changed to gray in the film.
** An odd case for Mantis in that she's a human in the comics that eventually turned green, but in the films she's an alien that retains her human skin color.
* Valykrie is once again hit with this, overlapped with RaceLift, in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' where she is played by Creator/TessaThompson, who is black.
* ''Film/MCUSpiderManTrilogy''
** Liz Allan is blonde in the comics, but is [[RaceLift played by]] the brunette Laura Harrier in ''Homecoming''. Though to be fair, both ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' and ''WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan'' have Liz be brunette as well, likely to visually differentiate her from Gwen Stacy.
** Betty Brant famously wears her brunette hair in a short bob. In the MCU it's long and blonde and even has a black hairband, making Betty look ironically similar to another [[ComicBook/GwenStacy iconic Spidey girl]].
** The grey haired and elderly Aunt May from the comics is played by the youthful and brunette Creator/MarisaTomei.
** Flash Thompson, who is usually blond, has darker hair [[RaceLift and skin]] in the MCU. In ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'' however as a nod to the comics, he's dyed his hair blond.
** Michelle "MJ" Jones aka ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson, has brown hair instead of red.

* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': Matt Murdock is a redhead in the comics. In the show, Creator/{{Charlie Cox}}'s Matt Murdock has reddish copper hair.
* [[ComicBook/DaughtersOfTheDragon Colleen Wing]] is a redhead in the comics, but Creator/JessicaHenwick keeps her natural black/dark brown hair in ''Series/IronFist2017''.
* Creator/KrystenRitter keeps her pitch-black hair in ''Series/JessicaJones2015'', despite ComicBook/{{Jessica|Jones}} having brown hair in the comics. Kilgrave's entire body was purple in the comics, but in the series, Creator/DavidTennant's natural skin color is used and only the clothing he sometimes wears is purple. [[ComicBook/PatsyWalker Trish Walker]] is also a blonde rather than a redhead (though she used to be a redhead back when she was the star of ''It's Patsy''), as she's a CompositeCharacter with [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Carol Danvers]].
* In ''Series/WandaVision'' thanks to an AgeLift [[spoiler: Agatha Harkness]] goes from grey-haired to brunette. There's also Tommy, Wanda and Vision's son, whom in the comics has silver hair similar his uncle and grandfather. In the show, however, he's naturally brunette and just dyes his hair silver for Halloween.
* In the comics, [[GenderBender Lady Loki]] has dark hair, the same as her male form. In ''Series/Loki2021'', "Sylvie" - Loki's female counterpart - has blond hair, which along with her powers makes her a CompositeCharacter of Lady Loki and [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheEnchantress Amora The Enchantress]].
