In the universe following the events of “Endgame”, it’s clear that The Multiverse operates in quite extraordinary manners. With the 2025 film lineup introducing us more deeply into things with “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”, it seems like we’re merely scratching the surface when it comes to beloved characters making a return to our screens.
This upcoming Marvel movie is causing a stir because fans are accusing it of “double dipping” in the casting pool, which means using an actor who has already appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The controversy arises due to Reddit users noticing that the new Ben Grimm, Ebon Moss-Bachrach (known as “The Bear”), has previously played a role within the MCU.
It’s possible that some viewers might not recognize this actor from the “Fantastic Four” ensemble, given their relatively recent appearance in the series. This discussion pertains to an adult-oriented TV show on Netflix (rated TV-MA), which may explain some people’s unfamiliarity.
Upon viewing an Easter egg clip related to the DD: Born Again trailer, a memory surfaced – Ebon Moss-Bachrach portrayed David Lieberman in The Punisher series. When he appears on screen as Ben Grimm, I’ll be reminded of those who double-dip (joining the 2-timers club milestone).
If adding this twist doesn’t boost viewership for The Punisher’s Netflix series, then we’re not sure what will captivate audiences. To put it simply, if you’ve grown fond of the character often referred to as “Micro” in Frank Castle’s intense journeys, be prepared for some unexpected turns in his storyline.
Returning to the topic of multiple roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it’s a universe, as you might already be aware, that spans far beyond a single character. But if you’re one who’s taken aback by the idea that Ebon Moss-Bachrach isn’t the only actor to pull off this feat, get ready for more surprises.
In the exciting world of Fantastic Four: First Steps, I’m delighted to share that I’ve noticed another familiar face from the Marvel Cinematic Universe gracing the screen alongside us. Whether you’re a seasoned Marvel fan or just starting your journey into the marvelous realm of Marvel Casting 101, let me introduce you to more members of this prestigious ensemble, as detailed in the source post:
[Here list the names of the actors/characters]
- “And Ralph Ineson, on the same upcoming movie, is playing Galactus after being a Ravager in Guardians Vol. 2. There’s a lot of double dipping in the MCU.” – @PepsiSheep
- “Ray Stevenson doesn’t exactly count since his Punisher wasn’t part of the MCU but technically he played two Marvel characters. I think Chris Evans is now officially part of this club since his Johnny Storm has now made an appearance in the MCU.” – @Ok-Health-7252
- “Damn, you would think Gemma Chan would get mentioned being in the two-fers club. Also Quill’s mom” – @ThatIowanGuy
- “I had to look it up: in addition to playing Peter Quill’s mom in the first two Guardians of the Galaxy movies, [Laura Haddock] was also credited as “Autograph seeker” in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger. Also TIL that she’s British!” – @jalabi99
Looking back, it wasn’t entirely surprising that something like this would transpire, given Marvel Studios’ impressive two-decade film legacy. However, as the unconventional casting choices in Avengers: Doomsday demonstrate, Kevin Feige and his team no longer shy away from revisiting characters – especially when it comes to exploring different versions of their iconic heroes.
Indeed, if you’re planning to watch all Marvel movies sequentially before “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” hits theaters on July 25th, then you’ve set yourself a challenging task ahead. If that’s your aim, you’ll need to get started soon!
This vast multiverse offers many opportunities for exploration, so I’d recommend diving in whenever you’re ready. However, keep in mind that managing your time effectively will be key. Notably, most entries within the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be accessed with a simple subscription to Disney+.
