8 Actors We Wish Hadn’t Already Appeared In The MCU

7. Walton Goggins

Now here's an energetic and always creepy performer who steals almost every scene he's in. Surely putting Walton Goggins in the MCU would make for cinematic gold, as the actor has the Midas touch when it comes to injecting humour, charm and villainy into his projects.

Well, that wasn't the case here, as instead of making him an entertaining antagonist, he was a suit-wearing, second-fiddle criminal.

Sonny Burch came along in Ant-Man and The Wasp, and from the moment he appeared on-screen it was clear this wouldn't be a starring role for the Justified star. The character was a black market technology dealer who crossed paths with Hank and Hope on a deal but double-crossed them. From there, he sought Pym's research for himself, but never really came close to getting his hands on it.

The weasel-like persona of the character and the backstabbing nature of his role could have had potential. Still, he was defeated with ease and had barely any screen time, making it feel like a glorified cameo. It was a waste of a perfectly entertaining actor who could have been so much better in a bigger role.
