Before Tatiana Maslany, there were several actors who have denied being a part of Marvel projects, even though they were actually cast in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Paul Rudd repeatedly refused the reports of playing Scott Lang / Ant-Man until the studios confirmed the news. A similar thing happened with Brie Larson who claimed in a 2015 interview with MTV UK that she had “no idea” about her current MCU character Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel.
