The actor has spent the last decade appearing in many more Marvel films, and fans are currently waiting to hear if he’ll be popping up in the MCU again. Cheadle has been getting a lot of love on social media today. Fellow MCU actor, Mark Ruffalo, did a Twitter post in Cheadle’s honor and he’s not the only one.
