The Marvel character you forgot Ebon Moss-Bachrach played before the fantastic oven thing

While the MCU continues to evolve, the chances that a star returns in several roles increases. Over the years, some actors have appeared in different parts of the Marvel cinematographic universe, and now “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” in (re) another in the form of Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

In the new film centered on Marvel’s first family, the star of “The Bear” assumes the role of Ben Grimm, also known as the blue thing always logged. As a grumpy but kind muscle of the team in the quartet, Moss-Bachrach is a perfect fit, especially after seeing his work on the culinary stress test of a show. However, it was in 2017 that he appeared in the grainy series of Netflix, “The Punisher”, as David Lieberman, also known as micro.

Appearing during the first season, Lieberman was a former NSA analyst who called on Frank Castle (future co-star of Moss-Bachrach, Jon Bernthal) to continue the men who were also responsible for the murder of the Punisher family. Since then, Frank has become a larger figure in the MCU, appearing in “Daredevil: Born again” and has confirmed that he is working on an autonomous special presentation. He will also join Spider-Man from Tom Holland in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”, marking the first time that this version of the Punisher will arrive on the big screen. As for the character of Moss-Bachrach, micro, he has not been seen since, and it is unlikely that he will be again; However, that did not prevent the news and to come from recognizing a very special honor that he is fortunate to wear.

So many Hollywood stars have not only inhabited characters created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, but also had the chance to walk in several areas of the worlds they have created. In the case of Ebon Moss-Bachrach, however, it has a rare advantage that even those who gave life to more than one MCU do not have, in that the two characters they played have a deeper link with Lee and Kirby.

In the case of his part in “The Punisher”, the name of the character of Moss-Bacrach was a direct reference to Stan the man, as revealed by the Weekly entertainment. “I think it’s cool that Micro is called David Lieberman, who draws his surname from Stan Lee,” said the actor. “Then Ben Grimm is this fusion of Kirby. So, in my two brief representations of Marvel characters, I struck the two big guys. It is a deep honor that I take to heart.”

Given the involvement, the thing will be in the MCU with not only “first steps” but also “Avengers: Doomsday”, it is sure that we will not see the return of microphone. We can only hope, however, that if Frank Castle never crosses the way with the Fantastic Four, The Thing and the Punisher gives a second look, before the time begins.
