Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the biggest franchises in the world. A lot of really high-rated celebrities have worked with this franchise over the years. As we all know that Marvel movies are mostly packed with fights and adventures with little space for romance, the fans with a romance kink might leave the hall unhappy sometimes. But these stars spread some love off-screen.
It is no surprise that there were a lot of off-screen couples in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as these stars spend a lot of time together during the shooting. Some of these Marvel power couples met before they starred in a movie and some fell for each other during the filming.

Zendaya And Tom Holland
We really can’t talk about Marvel couples without first talking about this adorable relationship. Zendaya and Tom meet on the set of ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming‘. The British actor said, “We are like the best of friends. She’s so great and amazing.” The two were really good friends for a long time and stayed that way. The costars made things official in 2021 as Holland shared a photo of him and Zendaya on her birthday.
“It’s crazy, but something we try not to think about all that much. You know, we’re here to do a job, we’re here to promote a movie that we love and we’re proud of, and we’re very lucky that we have fans that are so supportive and so invested in our lives,” said Tom in an interview.
