Over the past decade and a half, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has captivated audiences around the world with its many exciting elements, including iconic Super Heroes, gripping storylines, and powerful villains.

However, in addition to the action, humor and excitement, fans also look forward to seeing the superheroes have a few moments of romance in between their busy schedules of saving the world.

While some romances are touching, such as Steve Rogers's enduring love for Peggy Carter and Tony Stark's deep affection for Pepper Potts, not all romances resonate with the audience.

Natasha Romanoff and Bruce Banner's romance came as a surprise to fans, as they suddenly began to have flirtatious interactions in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but the writers failed to fully explore this relationship, and it was almost forgotten in the end.


Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter had one of the strangest relationships in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite some moments together, the perception that Cap's true love was Peggy and the lack of chemistry between Chris Evans and Emily VanCamp meant the relationship was short-lived and unsuccessful.


Bucky Barnes met Sam Wilson's sister Sarah during his experiences after Avengers: Endgame, and the two had a brief flirtatious moment, but the possible romance was never developed further, leaving some to question its significance.


Thor and Jane Foster's romance began in Thor, and it started well but then gradually lost its charm. When the two broke up in Thor: Ragnarok, it seemed no one was surprised.


In Black Panther, Okoye and Wakambi are a couple on opposite sides of a power struggle, with Okoye unhesitatingly putting loyalty to his country and his leader above his marriage, and Wakambi eventually backs down and surrenders.


Stephen Strange and Christine Palmer's relationship ends where it began in Doctor Strange, and while it's clear that the two have a unique bond, it's not fully explored, and Strange's arrogance gets in the way of it.


The romance between Sersi and Ikaris in "Eternals" was not popular. They had broken up when the movie started, fans were unable to witness the power of their passionate love, and the chemistry between the actors was also bland.


Peter Parker and Liz's romance in Spider-Man: Homecoming suffered a setback when the villain was Liz's father, and fans knew that MJ was Peter's iconic love interest, so they weren't too sad about the end of this short-lived relationship.


In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Hawkeye Clint Barton's secret wife Laura and child appeared to surprise the audience. Their interaction was brief, and they later became victims of Thanos's snap.


Bruce Banner and Betty Ross' romance in 2008's The Incredible Hulk was mediocre, as the film's pacing and premise limited their development, and the romance was later phased out when Mark Ruffalo took over the Banner role.


In short, some of these romances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are surprising, some lack depth, and some start well but end badly, failing to be as deeply rooted in people's hearts as some classic romances.
