During a panel at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California on Saturday morning, Disney announced the cast of their upcoming Marvel Studios movie, "The Eternals." The announcement included some major names that fans have been waiting to see join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years, like Angelina Jolie, and "Game of Thrones" star Kit Harrington.

But to some sharp-eared Marvel fans, one name stuck out: Gemma Chan, who was cast as Sersi, a member of the immortal Eternals. Although this will be Sersi’s first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this isn’t Chan’s first appearance — in 2018, she played alongside Brie Larson in "Captain Marvel" as a completely different character.

Chan isn’t the only actor to return to the Marvel scene as a different character. In fact, Saturday’s casting announcement marks her as the fourth actor to appear as more than one character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Here are all four actors who have played multiple characters, and who they played.

She’ll be playing Sersi, an immortal sorceress with the power to transform any object or person, as well as super strength and flight.

Gemma Chan first appeared in 2018’s "Captain Marvel."

In "Captain Marvel," Chan played Minn-Erva, an expert sniper and a member of Starforce, an elite group of Kree soldiers. She’s a partner of Brie Larson’s character Carol Danvers — at least, until Danvers betrays the group after recovering her memories. Minn-Erva is later killed while trying to shoot down a ship of Skrull refugees.
