She is also the only actor I’m aware of (aside from Stan Lee) who was cast as two unrelated live-action characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: a Ravager Captain in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 and Simu Liu Ying Nan in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. So theoretically the next sequel to either of those movies could involve a kung-fu showdown with an alien doppelgänger.

Oops.
There’s also the Stan Lee cameo where he was talking to the Watchers that makes it clear that all those Stan Lee cameos are the same character.
ever since her appearance in sunshine thought a lot of…
If you want to expand this to people who played very minor roles, and include MCU-adjacent stuff like Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD, Enver Gjokaj played a random cop in the first Avengers movie, and Daniel Sousa in both Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD. Although, since he got to time travel with SHIELD in AoS, there are some theories that he WAS the random cop in the Avengers movie. That’s a stretch, but then so is Cap’s one night stand being Star Lord’s grandmother or great-grandmother.

Simu Liu is the lead actor playing the titular character. Michelle Yeoh’s character name is given as Ying Nan.
