Former Marvel lawyer explains what it takes for someone to be able to appear in both MCU and DC projects:
Debates rage on around all corners of the fandom regarding a multitude of topics. One of the debates that will last until the end of the time is the preference fans have between Marvel and DC. The publishers have been direct competitors for decades and despite filmmakers saying the film studios associated with the brands often work with each other to an extent, fans still tend to pit one against the other.
So what, exactly, does it take for an actor to make the leap? Former Marvel attorney Paul Sarker tells us if a Marvel actor is hoping to get a role elsewhere, there's a chance their contract says they must get it approved by Marvel Studios. That is, of course, if the talent and Marvel have what's called a"first position" agreement.
Should Marvel Studios exercise that contract option, the actor is then obligated to hold up their own end of the deal. Even if Marvel has yet to decide on a contract option, Sarker says it gets a bit complicated. At the end of the day, he says, the talent could at least try to force the studio's hand by saying they'll take another role if the option has yet to take effect.
