The beauty of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — or a source of never-ending consternation, depending on who you talk to — is that continuity, for the most part, matters. Characters who were introduced years ago could very well pop up again at the most unexpected time and with an entirely new outlook from when we last saw them. Sometimes, these instances come with the full weight of the passage of time, like when Natalie Portman's Jane Foster finally returned in "Thor: Love and Thunder" as the Mighty Thor after remaining noticeably absent since 2013's "Thor: The Dark World." More often, such cameos are played for laughs as a way to further tie the MCU together — think of Shaun Taub's Ho Yinsen, the doctor who saved Tony Stark's life in that cave in the first "Iron Man," showing up once more in the opening flashback of "Iron Man 3."
