MCU fans realise only one character has appeared in all 5 phases

MCU fans realise only one character has appeared in all 5 phases

The revelation is somewhat up for debate however

Disney’s long-running Marvel Cinematic Universe has been going for over 16 years now, starting all the way back in 2006 with the release of Iron Man.

We’re currently five phases deep into the media franchise, so it stands to reason that it would be somewhat unlikely that one actor has managed to appear in at least one film in each of said phases.

MCU fans in a recent Reddit thread realised that one specific character has actually managed to appear in every phase so far however, and long-standing followers of the franchise can likely guess exactly who we’re talking about.

Fair warning, from this point onwards there are light spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine.

Captain America: Brave New World lands next year.

Nothing major, but you have been warned.

Jon Favreau, director for both Iron Man and Iron Man 2, has played the role of Tony Stark’s assistant/butler/bestie Happy Hogan in so many films that he’s succeeded in appearing in at least one title in every phase so far, following his recent cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine.

The actor has also appeared as the character in all three Iron Man films, all three MCU Spider-Man films, and both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

As one eagle eyed commenter pointed out however, this is actually not true. Well, technically not true anyway.

“Rhodey and Loki have definitely been in all five phases so far”, they commented.

Now, some commenters debated whether or not Rhodey and Loki count, as at the very least in Rhodey’s case, his character was actually replaced by a Skrull in at least one of his Phase 4 appearances, and Loki has several variants. The original Loki does not appear across all phases.

With that in mind, it seems that indeed, Happy's circumstances are truly unique.
