Marvel movies aren’t exactly known for sweeping romantic moments, but there are a handful of iconic couples who manage to keep love alive while saving the world: Pepper Potts and Tony Stark, for example, or Vision and Wanda Maximoff.

The film and TV empire also boasts a few off-screen love matches too, though many of them happened before the Marvel Cinematic Universe was firmly established. Before Iron Man kicked off Phase 1 in 2008, there was 2003’s Daredevil, starring Ben Affleck as blind superhero Matt Murdock.

The movie wasn’t a critical hit, but it was the place where Affleck fell in love with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, who played Elektra. Zendaya and Tom Holland also met while filming superhero movie Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton, meanwhile, met performing in a play before they joined the Marvel universe in separate projects.
