DC is better at casting women but Marvel is better at casting men

Watching and enjoying superhero films from both Marvel and DC I’ve noticed Marvel is much better at casting their male Actors while DC does much better with the women.

Especially if we focus on DCEU vs MCU but it also applies to all their films in general. There are a few exceptions of course and I’d like to say it mostly applies also to their heroes. Since both go on shaky grounds with their supporting cast.

Maybe it’s not that Marvel doesn’t cast good actresses but don’t get all their potential though that started to improved with Infinity War and DC seems like they figured also how to improve their male characters with AquaMan and Shazam.

But I think Marvel gets the upper hand with their male leads and DC with the ladies.



Let’s all do a sort of excerise and write our top 5 ranking lists of the best casting choices for Marvel and the Best for DC.

and it would be cool if we separate DC and Marvel in their cinematic universes and outside of them.
