It is very common for actors to establish intimate relationships while working together on a production. After all, they spend a lot of time working together. And sometimes, very often, those relationships turn into a romance. Especially if the actors play characters who have a romantic relationship.
This has happened several times in superhero movies and series. Interestingly, all three Spider-Man actors have dated their leading lady. So far there have been seven (known) cases of superhero actors dating each other, and it is very possible that there will be more in the future.
