13 Star Wars Actors Who Were Also In Marvel Movies

5. Felicity Jones

The Actor: Jones had been steadily carving a name for herself in film and TV, with appearances in the likes of Doctor Who, The Tempest, and Cemetery Junction, but really broke through last year (or this one, if you're in the UK) in Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything, receiving an Oscar nomination for her stunning portrayal of his wife Jane. Next year she'll be in two book adaptations, one of Dan Brown's Inferno, and the other of Patrick Ness' A Monster Calls. Role In Star Wars: Jones' star will continue to rise next year, as she's snagged the lead role in Rogue One, presumably as the leader of the Rebel pilots in Gareth Edwards' movie, which sounds fantastically exciting. Role In Marvel: Jones played Felicia Hardy in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, an assistant to Harry Osborn. Had things worked out differently, she'd almost certainly be signed up to become the Black Cat in the sequel. However, since it didn't perform to expectations, that movie's no longer happening, which thankfully means we get to have Felicity Jones in Star Wars and Spider-Man in the MCU.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
