Which came first for these actors? Game of Thrones or Marvel movies?

As an actor you dream of landing a job any job , but when you get a role in the biggest series on T.V. it just couldn't get any better, or could it?

It doesn't matter which you watched first - 'Game of Thrones' or the Marvel film these actors were also in. It is astonishing, however, to note just how many actors who were in the successful GoT series also played minor - and major - roles in the Marvel Universe. See if you remember seeing them...

One of the few actors to make it to the last season of 'Game of Thrones', breaking the rules and playing a likeable Lanister.

Here is the actor playing Bolivar Trask in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'.

Skrein made three appearances in season three of 'Game of Thrones', before being replaced - apparently due to scheduling clashes. According to CBR, he said, "That’s what's been reported in the press but it was a lot more political than that. My plan was to stay with Game of Thrones for the long haul. That was always my plan. I would have loved to. It was a wonderful experience, but politics led to us parting ways." No problem, to us he will always be Wade Wilson's nemesis, 'Francis' in Marvel's 'Deadpool'.

The unforgettable moment when Dani gets her dragon to sizzle the head of the Tarly household for refusing to bend the knee...

From demon to leader of the Free Folk. Ciaran Hinds played Mance Rayder in 'Game of Thrones' until, like most of the characters in the series, he met a tragic fate (one that many remember thanks to Jon Snow putting him out of his misery by firing an arrow at him to end his suffering as he burned alive). But, a few years previously, he had played Roarke, the human form of the demon in 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance'.
