10 MCU Actors You Totally Forgot Were In Other Marvel Films
4. Ray Stevenson — Punisher: War Zone (2008)
As Volstagg, a member of The Warriors Three in the Thor trilogy, Ray Stevenson received a decent amount of screentime as a supporting character. However, his first foray into the Marvel universe came as Frank Castle himself in Punisher: War Zone.
Stevenson was the third actor to portray Castle, after Thomas Jane and Dolph Lundgren. Although War Zone wasn't as gritty and emotional as the follow-up Netflix series, its over-the-top action and gratuitous violence offered up a fun film.
With The Warriors Three falling to Hela in Thor: Ragnarok, Stevenson's time in the MCU may have come to an end, but that doesn't mean he can't ditch the beard in favor of another character.
