8 Times MCU Cast Members Worked Together Elsewhere
3. Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong'o, Scarlett Johansson, Garry Shandling, And Jon Favreau - The Jungle Book
As is tradition with the recent wave of Disney remakes, 2016's Jungle Book had an unthinkably brilliant cast and, of course, a healthy chunk of these have Marvel experience. For three of these MCU alumni this is their second entry on this list.
In addition to Shutter Island with Mark Ruffalo, Sir Ben Kingsley portrays Mowgli's best friend and father figure Bagheera. Along with Lupita Nyong'o's Raksha, Mowgli's wolf mother, Bagheera watches over the man cub to keep him from harm from Thor and Star Trek: Into Darkness star Idris Elba's villainous Shere Khan.
Most fans may not recognise the voice of Ikki as anyone from the MCU, however Garry Shandling plays both the porcupine in Jungle Book, and Senator Stern in Iron Man 2 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
The final Marvel cast member to voice a character in the Jungle Book is one of the original six Avengers, Black Widow herself. Swapping a spider for a snake, Scarlett Johansson brings to life the new, just as creepy version of the hypnotic Kaa.
As if that wasn't enough, the movie is directed by Happy Hogan.
