10 MCU Actors You Totally Forgot Were In Other Marvel Films
1. Jon Favreau — Daredevil (2003)
Jon Favreau is an unsung hero of the MCU. Directing both Iron Man 1 & 2, as well as having a key role in the Iron Man trilogy and both Spider-Man films, Favreau and his character Happy Hogan have helped stitch the MCU together.
These credits alone easily overshadow any negative criticism he may receive for his first Marvel movie, Daredevil.
Playing another loveable, comedic sidekick, Favreau's performance in Daredevil is nothing to scoff at. The director's cut of the film is worth viewing and it's clear to see why Favreau would go on to have so much success as Happy Hogan.
Love it or hate it, Favreau's work on Daredevil led to the first conversations for 2008's Iron Man, changing the cinematic landscape forever.
