* Tina Minoru was portrayed by Linda Louise Duan when she had a minor appearance in ''Film/DoctorStrange'', and subsequently by Creator/BrittanyIshibashi when she appeared in a leading role in ''Series/Runaways2017''.

However, in Season 2 of ''Runaways'', Tina lets drop a few hints that she was present for some of the events of ''Doctor Strange'', suggesting that the decision was made to merge the characters after all. It's then never brought up again.

* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': In season 3, the one-shot character Nathaniel Malick was portrayed by Creator/JoelCourtney.

* While ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If...?]]'' brings back a majority of the MCU's actors to voice their characters, some other characters are recast entirely. Along with actors done with their characters (Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Pepper Potts), there's a few cases of PoorMansSubstitute (Captain Marvel, General Ross, Betty Ross, Obadiah Stane, Frigga, the Warriors Three, Ultron[[note]]voiced by the aforementioned Ross Marquand, meaning he twice became a replacement villain portrayer[[/note]]), a communication problem with [[Wrestling/{{Batista}} Dave Bautista]] preventing him from being Drax again, Spider-Man being technically in another studio forcing Creator/TomHolland out, and Shuri having a younger voice because [[TimeShiftedActor she appears nearly a decade prior to]] ''Film/BlackPanther2018''.

* In addition, Creator/EdwardNorton played Bruce Banner in ''Film/{{The Incredible Hulk|2008}}'', while Creator/MarkRuffalo replaces him in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. Combined with the non-[=MCU=] movie ''Film/{{Hulk}}'', with Eric Bana in the lead role, Ruffalo became the third actor in less than a decade to play Bruce Banner. The casting of Ruffalo stuck, however.

-->-- '''Darcy Lewis''', ''Series/WandaVision''

* An InUniverse example happens with Quicksilver in ''Series/WandaVision''. Originally played by Creator/AaronTaylorJohnson in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' and ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', here he's played by Creator/EvanPeters, who reprises his role from the Film/XMenFilmSeries. This is even lampshaded by Darcy Lewis in the quote above. [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted when it's revealed that Peters is actually playing Ralph Bohner, a Westview resident manipulated by Agatha Harkness into "playing" Quicksilver]].

** Ruffalo claimed he and Norton had a private joke that Bruce Banner was their generation's Hamlet, with every actor in their age group destined to try his hand at it. The trend has also led Creator/AnthonyMackie to jokingly use the term "Terrence Norton'ed" to describe the practice of actors being fired and replaced.
