Casting 1 acting in 2 different roles is not "breaking continuity" Yes, it is when the entire advertising campaign is "shared universe" and "it's all connected".

It is breaking continuity because how do you account for the similarity in appearance which doesn’t happen in real life unless they are twins?

If the films are slapstick comedies like GOTG or Endgame, then it is ok, otherwise it’s breaking the continuity.

In Dr. Strangelove, Peter Sellers plays 3 different roles that are not in anyway related to each other. Is that classic hampered by broken continuity? The answer is no because that is not what continuity means.

Maud Adams played 2 different characters in 2 different James Bond movies (The Man with the Golden Gun and Octopussy). Both were Roger Moore Bond films and they were not slapstick comedies. Again no break in continuity.

If recasting were breaking continuity, then MCU breaks continuity with Hulk and Rhodey being recast. But simply recasting isn't breaking continuity. But having the same actor/actress play 2 different characters in the same "shared universe" IS breaking continuity.

Besides the TV and movies haven't been "connected" for over 5 years now, you outdated bitched.

I mean he could look completely different as Blade.
I say let's wait until we see an official photo of him in character.

Different actors playing the same character is certainly more of a "continuity" issue than the same actor playing two different characters.
In the first case, the character's appearance can change significantly between actors. Baring plastic surgery, there is no explanation for it. The audience just has to accept it. If the appearance difference is too extreme, continuity can be broken.
It the second case, there are plenty of unrelated people in the world who look similar. Change the appearance of the actor a little and, viola, a new character is born. No continuity problems, whatsoever.

How do you account for no one in the DCEU universe picking up on the fact that Clark Kent and Superman look identical? Are they assumed to be twins? Is the audience really supposed to believe that a pair of glasses manages to fool everyone in the DCEU? Is the DCEU populated by idiots? ... or is it the undiscerning DCEU fans who just shrug it off?

Casting 1 acting in 2 different roles is not "breaking continuity" Yes, it is when the entire advertising campaign is "shared universe" and "it's all connected". Actors playing different roles in the same franchise, tv or film, is nothing new. All seasons of American Horror Story on FX all occupy the same universe and last season saw Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters and Billy Eichner in multiple roles crucial to the overall narrative, next season will have Emma Roberts and Cody Fern return but in different roles, not a first for Roberts a first for Fern though. Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse has seen several actors playing more than one role with Ben Affleck and Jason Lee holding record for most. The TV adaptations of Friday Night Lights and Parenthood occupy the same universe actors from both shows have appeared as different characters in one and the other. The Law & Order franchise has seen quite a large number of actors play multiple roles for any and all shows related to it as well as spin-offs and their own spin-offs like Chicago, P.D., Chicago Fire, and Chicago Med. FX programs like The Shield and Sons of Anarchy are set in the same universe, actors from both programs have too played more than one character. Let us not forget about the OG cinematic universe the Universal Monsters - Bela Lugosi, Claude Rains, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney and his son Lon Chaney, Jr., Edward Van Sloan, David Manners, and Dwight Frye played a plethora of different characters and sometimes fairly similar(Frye was a hunchback lab assistant in the first two Frankensteins, Manners was a love interest in Dracula and The Mummy, etc. ). Honestly, we could be here all night talking about actors being in multiple roles in same franchises...

Oh boy you and thenewnexus are gonna get into a huge battle of words on this topic(maybe), as they(nexus) want Kat Dennings(Darcy Lewis) for a lot of other unrelated female characters who have yet to been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
