Episode 10: Wait... Have I seen you somwhere?

This week on Up Your Nerd Cred, we’re taking a break from multiversal collapse and reality-warping chaos to look at something a little lighter… or is it?

We’re diving into the wild world of MCU double casting—where actors get a second shot at superhero stardom. From Chris Evans’ journey from fireball himbo to America’s ass, to Michael B. Jordan’s redemption arc from Fan4stic to Killmonger with a point, we’re talking about all the actors who blew their Marvel shot—only to come back hotter, cooler, and way more plot-relevant.

We cover:

• The Fantastic Four pipeline: Chris Evans, Michael B. Jordan, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach

• Gemma Chan’s cosmic glow-up

• Mahershala Ali’s long-delayed Blade

• Alfre Woodard’s two powerful Marvel women

• Enver Gjokaj's journey from Cop #12 to Peggy Carter’s love interest

• …and a few MCU voice-cameo deep cuts

We also look ahead to Battleworld, ask whether variants count as double casting, and take a moment to ask Kevin Feige: can we please fix the Blade situation?
