Some actors that most people don’t realize are in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Some great entries here. I’ve got a few of my own.

Kate Mara - Iron Man 2

Later going on to play the Invisible Woman in the travesty Fant4stic, Mara appeared briefly in Iron Man 2 as a girl Tony flirts with before realizing that she works for the government.

Corey Hawkins - Iron Man 3

This Straight Outta Compton star made a brief cameo in Iron Man 3, telling his superior about some bogeys he’s detected.

Ross Marquand - Avengers: Infinity War

Replacing Hugo Weaving, this Walking Dead star does a killer impression of the Red Skull in the third (and fourth) Avengers films.

Powers Boothe - Avengers/Agents of SHIELD

This late Star played Gideon Malik, a member of the SHIELD committee in The Avengers, later revealed to be Hydra in Agents of SHIELD.

Natalie Dormer - Captain America: The First Avenger

From Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games, Dormer played an intelligence officer in The First Avenger, who later kisses Steve, causing problems with Peggy Carter.

—EDIT: Here are a few more because this is fun—

Chris Sullivan - Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2

Toby from This is Us isn’t always the stand-up gentleman we’ve come to know him as. In Guardians 2, he played the horribly named Taserface.

Bill O’Reilly - Iron Man 2

Less of an actor, more of a news personality, the former Fox News anchor appeared in a spoof segment of his show The O’Reilly Factor, in which he slams Tony Stark’s choice to promote Pepper Potts to CEO of Stark Industries.

Olivia Munn - Iron Man 2

Now more known for her role as mutant Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse, Olivia Munn had a few seconds in the spotlight in Iron Man 2 as reporter Chess Roberts, giving the story on the Stark Expo.

Gary Sinise - Captain America: The Winter Soldier

The famous actor from Forrest Gump has an unseen cameo in the museum scene of The Winter Soldier as the narrator of the Captain America exhibit.

Chris O’Dowd - Thor: The Dark World

This Irish comedian himself has even admitted to forgetting that he appeared in this movie as Richard, Jane’s date[1] . The poor guy deserves better!

Sam Neill - Thor: Ragnarok

Most of the attention in the scene goes to the cameos by Matt Damon and Luke Hemsworth playing actors playing Loki and Thor respectively. However, few people realize that the actor playing Odin is portrayed by Sam Neill of Jurassic Park fame.

Clancy Brown - Thor: Ragnarok

You might not know his name, but you know his voice… or one of his voices anyway. The man is a talented voice actor known mostly for Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants.

Fun Fact: Clancy Brown actually also has a role in the second season of Daredevil as Colonel Ray Schoonover.

Jennifer Connelly - Spider-Man: Homecoming

Connelly plays Karen, the AI system in Peter’s Spidey suit. Funnily enough, she is married to Paul Bettany, who portrayed JARVIS in Iron Man’s suit until he became the Vision in Age of Ultron.

Nathan Fillion - Guardians of the Galaxy

This Firefly actor voices the monstrous inmate that wants to get… friendly with Peter Quill upon his entry into the prison. It doesn’t go too well for him.

Interestingly, he also exists as another character only seen on movie posters from cut scenes of Guardians 2. One includes him playing Tony Stark himself in the movie about his life.

Simon Williams is the name, and who might that be? Wonder Man. Who knows? Maybe he’ll join the MCU someday soon!
