List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series actors

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a media franchise and shared fictional universe that is the setting of superhero television series based on characters that appear in Marvel Comics publications. The first series in the universe, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., began airing on ABC during the 2013–14 television season, and was joined by Marvel's Agent Carter in the 2014–15 television season. Marvel's Inhumans aired on ABC in the 2017–18 television season. Netflix's Marvel series began in 2015 with Marvel's Daredevil and Marvel's Jessica Jones, with Marvel's Luke Cage releasing in 2016. Those series were followed by Marvel's Iron Fist, the crossover miniseries Marvel's The Defenders, and Marvel's The Punisher in 2017. Additionally, the MCU expanded to Hulu with Runaways, also in 2017, and expanded to Freeform with Marvel's Cloak & Dagger in 2018.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is headlined by Clark Gregg in the role of Phil Coulson, while Hayley Atwell stars as Peggy Carter in Agent Carter, both reprising their roles from the MCU films. Anson Mount headlines Inhumans as Black Bolt. Charlie Cox is featured as Matt Murdock / Daredevil in Daredevil, while Krysten Ritter leads as Jessica Jones in Jessica Jones, which also introduces Mike Colter as Luke Cage, who later headlined Luke Cage. Finn Jones stars as Danny Rand / Iron Fist in Iron Fist and joins Cox, Ritter, and Colter in reprising their roles for The Defenders. Jon Bernthal stars as Frank Castle / Punisher in The Punisher, after being introduced in the second season of Daredevil. Runaways co-stars Gregg Sulkin as Chase Stein. Cloak & Dagger sees Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph as Tandy Bowen / Dagger and Tyrone Johnson / Cloak, respectively.

Due to the nature of the shared universe, several actors appear in the series as characters that had previously appeared in other mediums, including: Gregg, who appeared as Coulson in the films Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, Marvel's The Avengers, and the short films The Consultant and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer, before appearing in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.; and Atwell, who portrayed Carter in the films Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the short film Agent Carter, upon which the series of the same name is based, before appearing in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as well. Atwell is the first actor to appear in multiple MCU television series with her role in Agent Carter. All characters that have made appearances in other MCU media, such as the digital series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot, are noted.
