The double-character club is a pretty prestigious group in the MCU with the likes of Josh Brolin, Linda Cardellini, and Michelle Yeoh all being members. Well now some Marvel fans have realized that Ebon Moss-Bachrach has also joined the line-up.

The actor is set to star as Ben Grimm – or The Thing – in the upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps. However, he previously played David Lieberman in 12 episodes of The Punisher too, which is of course also now part of the MCU.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is due out in theaters on July 25, 2025 – and will also star Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, and Ralph Ineson.
