The first role that Lundgren appeared in after his iconic role as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV was none other than He-Man in the 1987 film, Masters of the Universe. The film also featured Frank Langella, Jon Cypher, Chelsea Field, Billy Barty, Courteney Cox, Robert Duncan McNeill, and Meg Foster.
He-Man wasn't the only character that Lundgren played that was from an existing property though. Lundgren also took on the role of Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher in the 1989 film simply titled The Punisher. The film wasn't received too well, but maybe Lundgren could try to get a spot in the MCU.
