As we’ve discovered within the post-Endgame ecosystem, The Multiverse works in some fairly wild methods. With the 2025 film schedule bringing us additional into the combo with The Improbable 4: First Steps, it looks like we’re simply getting began in terms of acquainted faces being introduced again to the display.
That is as a result of this upcoming Marvel film is the newest apt instance of followers calling out what’s now thought of “double dipping” within the casting pool, and it’s bought everybody speaking. That is all due to the folks of Reddit noticing that the brand new Ben Grimm, The Bear’s Ebon Moss-Bachrach, has really performed a earlier function within the MCU.
To be honest, some might not have observed this Improbable 4 forged member beforehand. A part of that concern might have been because of some the age of some commenters, as what you’re about to learn entails a TV-MA Netflix collection:
After watching an Easter egg video in regards to the DD: Born Once more trailer I remembered that Ebon Moss-Bachrach performed David Lieberman within the Punisher collection. As soon as he hits the display as Ben Grimm he’ll hit the 2-timers membership milestone.
If that doesn’t present a bump in viewership for The Punisher’s Netflix collection, then we don’t know what’s going to. By which case…we’ll simply vaguely say do not get too hooked up to the person some name “Micro” in Frank Fort’s usually brutal adventures.
Getting again to the topic of MCU “two timing,” that is a galaxy that you simply most likely already know is wider than only one particular person. Nonetheless, in the event you’re somebody stunned by the truth that Ebon Moss-Bachrach isn’t the one star to realize that feat, brace yourselves.
Based mostly on what we learn about Improbable 4: First Steps alone, there’s one other returning Marvel Cinematic Universe performer current in that exact same film.

One might say this form of factor was certain to occur, as Marvel Studios has nearly 20 years of movies beneath its belt at this level.
