There are a couple of actors who have had some crossover and have appeared in both Marvel and DC. Ryan Reynolds was Deadpool in Marvel and Green Lantern in DC. Chris Evans played the Human Torch and Captain America. But Oscar Isaac is the only actor who has tripled down on Marvel.
While the MCU is the juggernaut of the Marvel Universe, it’s not the only place to get movies based on Marvel characters. Due to various contracts and rights issues over the years, Marvel has been divided in unusual ways. Sony has the rights to Spider-Man and related characters. Fox has long had the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four, though those are now owned by Disney. And the rest falls under the Disney-Marvel merger that created the MCU.

When the best movies these days make over $1 billion, it doesn't seem like a big deal. But for an actor to do 8 in a row is unheard of. Actors often shake up their routine with smaller films that don't make that much money, or they just end up with a dud that blows up the box office.
