Ten Characters I want to see in the MCU

A list of characters I would like to see appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe somehow.

Yeah since not too long ago I wrote an article about my ideas for the MCU Spider-Man and I decided to do list characters I hope to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe someday. Not necessary heroes, just characters I hope to see someday and I am not posting potential actors so if you want you can try it yourself for the characters I have chosen.
 
10. Punisher
 
I believe now that Marvel now has the rights to put Frank in the MCU then it could be a good opportunity to put the brutal vigilante to the universe in maybe his own Netflix Show. Maybe to tie into the MCU, they could say he had raided SHIELD and HYDRA bases to help find weapons for his one man war on crime. For the record I would hope they bring in Harry Heck from the Thomas Jane movie. I am putting him at the bottom of the list since he is a character who has been adapted before in three movies.
 
9. Kamala Khan
 
Yeah close to the bottom of the list since she is a fairly recent character. A Muslim girl who is a superhero fan and even writes fanfiction (something I actually find relatable), gained powers from being exposed to Terrigen Mist and decides to adopt Carol Danvers’ own former moniker of Ms Marvel. I think the best way to handle this in the slim chance they do use her is establish her in a cameo role in the Captain Marvel movie as a girl who becomes a fan of the hero once Carol’s superheroics reaches the public eye, maybe set the stage for a spin off show or movie. Like I said this might not happen but as someone who likes her comic, i would like to see her. Since she is a fangirl and a nod to the fanbase, there can be a scene where she shares the real life fangirls thinking of Loki as hot.
 
8. Diamondback
 
Willis Stryker was Luke Cage’s friend until he betrayed him over a girl and was responsible for framing him which led to him getting his powers. Despite having a minor role I think they can use him as the villain for the Luke Cage Netflix show since before Iron Man 3, Aldrich Killian had an extremely minor one appearance role in the comics and they are even using another minor villain Darren Cross as the villain of the Ant Man Film. They can flesh out his and Luke’s friendship and how it fell apart leading up to a final fight between the two characters.
 
7. Wonder Man
 
A character I grown to like thanks to the Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and I honestly believed he could have returned and joined the team if that show had a third season. Basically a failing businessman who gains ionic powers, they could use him for Agents of SHIELD or maybe make him a supporting hero in another future MCU movie or wait till another phase. I think if he does get his own movie the perfect villain for him to fight would be his brother the Grim Reaper.
 
6. Moon Knight
 
A vigilante similar to Batman, what makes this hero unique is that he has three civilian identities: Marc Spector a mercenary, Jake Lockely a taxi driver and Steven Grant a millionaire. It would be interesting to see a superhero with multiple personality disorder, it could explore which of the personalities is the real guy or if any of them are real. Moon Knight is an interesting character to explore in his own show or movie. Besides he would be another good idea to do since the MCU is using the Netflix shows to introduce the street level heroes.
 
5. Hercules & Ares
 
We have already seen the Norse Gods in this universe, why not try the Greek ones since they can introduce them as beings that came to Earth similar to the Asgardians and they could do their own take on the legendary Hercules. Why am I putting the two together, it’s because I really like the Marvel version of Ares especially during his time as a member of Norman Osborn’s Dark Avengers. He was my favourite character in one of my fave Marvel comics Siege and I would love to see this version of the character get into an adaptation.
 
4. Amora the Enchantress
 
I am honestly surprised she has not been in the Thor movies yet! Basically she is an Asgardian witch who has fought Thor despite being in love with him. I hope to see her and her bodyguard Skurge in Thor Ragnarok, maybe she could be put in odds with Jane since she is angry a mortal woman has stolen the heart of the one she had been after for too long.
 
3. Red Hulk
 
Should the Hulk eventually get another movie I think this could be a good choice to use. We have not seen General Ross much since the Incredible Hulk and I can think of a way to explain his origin as the Red Hulk in the MCU: a mixture of Bruce’s blood and Extremis from Iron Man 3. Ross could be angry that the man he had been chasing is now considered a hero and uses the Red Hulk person to take out Bruce and try and prove himself as the Hulk they should be rooting for. I think if this happens he should become the Red Hulk early on so it’s not just a fight in the climax like in the Incredible Hulk or maybe the two Hulks would be forced to team up against the Abomination if he escapes.
 
2. Power Pack
 
Quite possibly my fave lesser known Marvel team, the four preteen siblings of the Power Family who gain super powers thanks to an alien visitor. I would understand if to adapt them they would have to age them up to teenage age since it would be hard to make a big superhero movie about preteen children. I think it would be a good chance for the Power Pack to have their chance at the spotlight since they have not been in much adaptations apart from a failed TV pilot.
 
 

  1. Lady Death

 
The one whose love Thanos craves, we already had the mention of courting death in the stinger to the Avengers and it would be a good idea to actually put Lady Death. In Avengers Infinity War we could explore how Thanos met and fallen in love with her and vowed to destroy or conquer the worlds in an effort to win her love. To explain her presence they could just say that she is merely the physical avatar of Death who Thanos met and taught him about the Infinity Stones and the Gauntlet. She would be the perfect guiding force for Thanos’ actions.

My list would definitely have some semi-Spidey related stuff on it. Jessica Drew, Anya Corazon, and some Spidey rogues and semi-rogues are in there... Prowler, Black Cat, Slingers (yes, I like the Slingers, wanna fight about it?), and various Gobliny stuff. I was a Spider-Man/X-Men fan growing up, so that's really where my enthusiasm lies...

In the Marvel stable, though, I'm pretty happy. The Netflix series are scratching the "ground-level itch" for me, and the movies are hitting the biggest named heroes pretty well. Moon Knight would be nice to see. I'd like to see a full-on Liberty Legion show which picks up the Golden Age Carter/Jarvis stuff, incorporates Horton's Synthetic Man and the "fake Captain America".

I'd also like to see some classic West Coast Avengers in play. Wonder Man, Tigra, Vision, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, and Mockingbird would be a fun movie.

More than anything, right now, I just want to see Carol in the MCU world as soon as possible. I hope they don't put her casting/origin off until her solo movie...

Beta Ray Bill and Nova. I'm still mad at Gunn for wanting Star Lord to be "special"! C'mon, at least give him another earthling to interact with.

Isaiah Bradley aka Buffalo Soldier
She-Hulk
Taskmaster
Beta Ray Bill
Namor
Squadron Supreme
Captain Britain
Serpent Society

Wanted my list to not retread yours.

I like your list. I am a huge fan of Spector and glad to see more fans of his, I just feel like he is becoming the "trend" pick.

@Spock0Clock is Taskmaster truly a villain though? I always saw him as a rebel that keeps forgetting his cause, lol. He is a very unique character, and I too would love to see him in the MCU. I am not to keen on the idea of Ward becoming Taskmaster, like some fans are wanting. I would prefer to see Taskmaster in his prime, established, than slowly chip away at his past.

@dethpillow We still have a chance at seeing Nick Fury Sr in the MCU. I am hoping Sam's Fury is not the NICK FURY but is in fact Fury Jr.
