10 MORE Actors Who Played Multiple Roles In The MCU
5. Michelle Yeoh
This year, Marvel Studios will be releasing Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which is the live-action debut of the titular character. Because it's a kung fu movie with a primarily Asian cast, it's no surprise Michelle Yeoh is playing a key role. Not only is the Malaysian actress one of the biggest stars in Asia, she is known for her martial arts films like The Ip Man Legacy, Fearless, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,
However, there is one problem: she's already appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the post-credits sequence of Guardian of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Yeoh pops up as a Ravager captain called Aleta. Most of the time, the MCU gets away with casting actors in duel roles if one of the characters is covered in prosthetics or CGI. Since Yeoh's face is on full display in both roles, viewers might be a little confused by this casting choice.
Because Aleta only appeared for a few seconds in GOTG2, most casual viewers probably won't remember her. But if Yeoh reprises the role in GOTG3, fans might mistake her Shang Chi character as Aleta and wonder what the heck she's doing battling aliens in space!
