Top 10 MCU (Marvel) Performances by British Actors

From superheroes to super-sinners, the Brits do it best. For this list, we’re counting down the finest and most memorable British acting performances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – in film and TV. With the likes of David Tennant, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Karen Gillan, Idris Elba and Andy Serkis all vying for the top spot, even Thanos is impressed. It’s a spectacular showdown to match the Infinity Way – and you do not want to miss it!

OK, I agree with #1 (obviously) and #2, but how the hell did Benedict Cumberbatch’s simultaneously hammy and underwhelming performance beat out everyone else on that list and off it? Kick him off, and probably Tilda Swinton, too. Andy Serkis was incredible in AOU and Black Panther (that accent!), and Hayley Atwell deserves to be in the top 10. This seems to have been made before Black Panther came out, or Letitia Wright would probably be on here somewhere. I loved Pietro’s sass and punkery, but he didn’t get that much screen time.

P.S. How do David Tennant and Karen Gillan feel about being included in a list of “British” actors? Maybe “from the UK” or “from Great Britain” would be more appropriate.

“Broadchurch” is like the best enemies-to-lovers fic ever. Remember how I said they did the “there’s only one bed” trope when the reservation for one of their hotel rooms mysteriously went missing? Well, they just said goodbye (temporarily) with a handshake – Miller said “I’m not hugging you” literally with tears in her eyes and David Tennant was doing his best sad puppy face look and she cut him off when he tried to tell him how much he liked working with her.

This show is killing me.
