9 Community Actors Who Appeared in Marvel Movies without You Even Noticing
These Community stars were hiding in plain sight all this time.

Danny Pudi as Shield Agent
Yes, Abed from Community, aka Danny Pudi, made a quick cameo in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as a SHIELD agent. It was brief, but oh-so-sweet for fans.
Yvette Nicole Brown as SHIELD Agent Phyllis Jenkins
Shirley Bennett took a break from Greendale to appear in Avengers: Endgame. Yvette was at Camp Lehigh when Tony and Steve traveled back in time. And she totally busted them.
Jim Rash as Dean of M.I.T.
The quirky Dean Pelton surfaced in Captain America: Civil War as Dean of M.I.T., totally geeking out over Tony Stark’s presentation. Classic Dean.
Ken Jeong as Storage Facility Guard

Aaron Himelstein as Launch Tech #1
