* Helen Cho from ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' and Helen the Black Widow from both ''Film/BlackWidow'' and ''Film/ShanfChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings''.

* Sandman is both the name of one of the Elementals [[spoiler:created by Mysterio's illusions]] in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', and of the villain Flint Marko (returning from ''Film/SpiderMan3'') whose alias is Sandman in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''.

* Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" '''Ross''', his daughter Elizabeth "Betty" Ross, both of whom debuted in ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', and Everett K. Ross. Interestingly, Thaddeus and Everett both appear in ''Captain America: Civil War''.

* Season one of ''Daredevil'' has a random bar patron named '''Clint Peterson''', who not only shares his first name with both the pawn shop owner from season two and (more notably) '''Clint''' Barton, but his last name with Mike '''Peterson''' and his son Ace from ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.''.

This led to some joking that Creator/ChrisPine was cast in ''Film/WonderWoman2017'' to keep Marvel from getting the full set. Marvel did end up getting him as the voice of Ultimate Peter Parker in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' but that's a Sony Marvel production rather than a Disney production like the [=MCU=].

* Jane Foster from ''Thor'' and Bill Foster from ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'' who both happen to be doctors.
* Tilda Johnson took the last name of the family that raised her. There's no indication that this family is in any way connected to Cal and Daisy Johnson, though the way Mariah invoked Hurricane Katrina related imagery in her bail hearing raises the possibility of a connection to Tyrone Johnson and his family. Rosalind Price mentioned that the ATCU had an agent named Johnson.
