Taking the first look at the Marvel Universe you have to look at the largest point, The avengers. We obviously Already have 6 solo films and 1 team film of this group, But let’s take a closer look into them.
The original Avengers Team was Iron Man, Hulk, Ant Man, Wasp, and Thor. A slight switch from the Avengers team we have seen on screen however we are seeing Ant Man and most likely Wasp joining soon enough. Now the real question is what other Avengers should we see join? What other Villains should they take out. They already fought Loki, brother of Thor. Next up is Ultron, after that who knows? Is Joss planning Thanos for the 3rd big baddy, Will we see a repeat of a previous villain, or are we getting another major villain like Kang or Korvac. Lots of different opportunities to go through but although Villains are cool, look as if on this team people are looking for more heroes and heroine. Looking as if Dr. Strange and others are already planned on joining, let’s look at some other members that are worthy of screen time.
Ms. Marvel
Arguably the most needed female avenger (Besides Scarlet Witch who is already set for Age of Ultron), Carol is a powerhouse. One of the most powerful Avengers of all time, she has at points had the ability to control gravity its self. She has superhuman strength, endurance and can absorb/project energy, due to the fact of being part Kree essentially. Joss has been talking about wanting more female avengers and she would be a perfect addition. She has the fire power, history, and can also go cosmic if needed. The only thing holding her back? The name, people might find it just flat out cheesy to have someone named after the comic itself. They can find ways around the name by finding reasons for her to have that nick name. But the easiest way would probably be just call her Carol Danvers throughout the story. If Marvel plans on making a solo film, or just adding another avenger, Carol has to be at the top of their list.
Black Panther
In my opinion the most needed Avenger that doesn’t already have a solo film planned. T’Challa is the leader of Wakanda, the African land that exports the already established vibranium to the world. He has a vibranium suit and claws, is a major athlete and a genius. A Black Panther movie could be a little something new in this world, showing the African part of this universe. Also it could add more cultural diversity to this team. T’Challa has been a major avenger for quite some time and is more than expected to join soon enough. Especially with the ester egg found in Iron Man 2. I feel along with many others a Black Panther movie should be made before the Avengers 3 comes out.
Luke Cage
Power man. Luke Cage is from Harlem, he got sent to prison for doing a crime (he didn’t commit) and was experimented on. He ended up getting bullet proof skin and super strength. He has been an Avenger for quite some time, offering brute force to the team kind of like the hulk. Again it offers diversity to the team, and he’s such a well-known hero. We are all hoping to see him on the big screen sooner rather than later.
Iron Fist
Can’t talk about Luke Cage without the Iron Fist. Daniel Thomas has a sad back story about the death of his father and mother, he is found by an old tribe that teaches him martial arts. He fights a dragon and plunges his hands in the its heart and pulls out the power of the Iron Fist. There have been many in the past, now Danny has the power. He has superhuman abilities along with healing and a concentration of Chi on his fist. He becomes very good friends with Luke cage and the two of them are heroes for hire together. He has been an avenger though not nearly as steady as Luke Cage. People have been spreading rumors of a Heroes for Hire movie for years now. More than likely this movie would feature Luke and Danny and opens the doors for tons of heroes that would be easily shown in this setting.
Vision
Plenty of ester eggs have been made from the Avengers to the Vision. Lots of random ideas as to who he will be are being thrown around. Especially now with the coming of Ultron. As many of you know, the Vision was created by Ultron. He was sent to destroy the Avengers but was turned good instead. The Vision is a synthezoid with flight, superhuman abilities, solar projection, molecular disruption and control over mass. He is one of the more powerful avengers and is based on Wonder Man. He has a love interest in the scarlet witch who is also being introduced. Many rumors are that the vision is going to be based on Coulson. These rumors are majorly because of the “Cellist” References. It would be a great adition to the team because it adds something they don’t have on their team, a pure robot. To me if they are making a movie with Ultron, they have to add the Vision to their roster.
Wonder Man
Wonder Man may not have the best name, but he is one of the best Avengers. After his company was heading down hill, Simon Williams made a deal with Baron Zemo (One of Captain America’s greatest Villains) to get hit with an Ion blast. The blast gave him super human abilities along with the ability to project energy. He eventually was turned from a villain to hero and has ever sense been working with lots of different teams. Wonder Man also has the ability to live with out natural necesseties like food, water, and air which allows him to go in space. Even with that ability Wonder Man spends most of his time here on earth, fighting with the avengers and is surpassed by very few avengers in abilities.
These are just a few of the many Avengers that could use a little screen time. The main question isn’t really if they can make these characters, it’s can they fit them in the universe. As you can see the roster for the avengers could quickly fill up, if they include the falcon, quicksilver, and scarlet witch in the next avengers we could already see 9 of them. The expansion of the Cosmic universe can show a lot of different avengers who I didn’t show in this, and hopefully everyone can see their favorite character hit the big screen.
Next up, the Mutants.
