Fear not, fellow fans! We’re here to guide you through the superheroes that fans are eagerly awaiting in the MCU. From their powers to their personalities and backstories, we’ll show you why these ten heroes would seamlessly fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So sit back and get ready to discover some new favorites.
10. Wolverine
Buckle up, everyone! We’re diving into the world of Wolverine, the most beloved X-Men character of all time. This fan-favorite would be an incredible addition to the MCU, claws and all.
With the X-Men now officially part of the MCU, fans are buzzing with excitement, eager to see Wolverine's long-awaited debut. Known for his tough yet endearing persona, the Marvel movie team is sure to make him a fan favorite.
Wolverine is the ultimate badass. He's not only equipped with superhuman strength, speed, and rapid healing, but he also wields those iconic adamantium claws that make him a fearsome foe. But there’s more to him—he has a complex, tragic backstory tied to brutal government experiments and his role within the X-Men. The MCU could definitely use more heroes with such depth.
Think of the crossovers! Picture Wolverine facing off against the Hulk, cracking jokes with Ant-Man, or even joining forces with the new Captain America. The possibilities are endless!
What makes Wolverine truly great? His sharp wit and sarcastic attitude. He’s the perfect anti-hero, unafraid to get dirty and always ready to speak his mind. He’s the complete package of what you want in a Marvel superhero—and more.
9. Nova
As the MCU ventures further into the cosmic frontier, there’s no better time to introduce a character like Nova.
And no, we’re not talking about the Chevy Nova. We’re talking about the cosmic superhero who would be a fantastic addition to the MCU. Nova is part of the Nova Corps, an intergalactic police force. Essentially, he’s a space cop with superpowers. Who doesn’t love a space cop tale?
But Nova is no ordinary cop. He possesses superhuman strength, the ability to fly, and energy projection powers. Not to mention his sleek helmet that looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film.
The MCU has already explored cosmic heroes, like the Guardians of the Galaxy, but there’s always space for more intergalactic escapades. What’s even better is Nova’s sharp sense of humor. He’s a down-to-earth and relatable character who adds a much-needed dose of levity to the MCU.
8. Moon Knight
Moon Knight is an enigmatic and complex figure, often compared to Batman for his vigilante persona. Struggling with dissociative identity disorder, his storylines become all the more intriguing. If you aren't familiar with him yet, don't worry—neither is he. However, rest assured that he's about to make a major impact in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Imagine Batman, but with enhanced abilities. Moon Knight is a wealthy vigilante who relies on his martial arts expertise, advanced gadgets, and powers tied to the moon to tackle crime. And let's be honest, who doesn't enjoy a wealthy, brooding hero dressed in a striking costume?
But Moon Knight isn’t just a replica of others in the genre. His origin story is unique, revolving around multiple personalities and a connection to the ancient Egyptian god Khonshu. Yes, that's right—Moon Knight blends superheroism with ancient mythology.
If you think the MCU doesn’t need another troubled hero, think again. Moon Knight's mental struggles make him an unpredictable and captivating character. With a sharp sense of humor and sarcasm, he’s bound to fit right in with the rest of the MCU crew. We've enjoyed watching him on Disney+, but this character deserves a movie of his own.
7. Ms. Marvel
Kamala Khan, known as Ms. Marvel, is a teenage superhero with the incredible ability to stretch and shape-shift her body. She also holds the distinction of being the first Muslim superhero to headline her own comic series.
Kamala Khan is a breath of fresh air in the MCU. She brings much-needed diversity and representation to the forefront. As a Muslim Pakistani-American, Kamala’s perspective on life and her journey as a superhero offers something new to the MCU that we've yet to experience. Isn't it about time we got this kind of representation?
But that’s just the start. Kamala is a character we can all relate to—she’s a superhero fangirl at heart. Her admiration for heroes is something every fan can connect with. And did I mention she’s hilarious? Her quick wit and clever remarks will have her blending seamlessly into the MCU team. After everything that happened in Avengers: Endgame, we could all use some humor, right?
Ms. Marvel isn’t just a funny, relatable character. She’s also a hero who stands up for justice. Kamala is brave, compassionate, and serves as an excellent role model for everyone. Her Disney+ show has garnered praise, but it’s high time she gets her moment on the big screen.
6. She-Hulk
Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk, is a lawyer who inherits Hulk-like powers after receiving a blood transfusion from her cousin, Bruce Banner. With the new Disney+ series, fans are getting to see her in action. But doesn’t she deserve to be out there fighting alongside the Avengers for real?
It’s definitely time to show some love for the gamma-powered lawyer. She’s a green-skinned powerhouse who blends strength, smarts, and a sharp sense of humor into one unstoppable package.
Let’s dive into She-Hulk’s powers. She possesses superhuman strength and durability, just like her cousin. But she’s also able to control her transformations and maintain her intellect while in Hulk form. That means she can fight crime and argue cases in court at the same time. How cool is that?
What really sets She-Hulk apart, though, is her personality. She’s confident, sassy, and completely unapologetic about who she is. No objections here!
5. Blade
Originally portrayed by Wesley Snipes in a trilogy of films, Blade is a half-vampire, half-human who hunts down vampires. A gritty and intense character, he would be a perfect fit for the darker and more mature phase of the MCU. But maybe not something aimed at the kids.
This vampire-hunting hero would make an incredible addition to the on-screen Universe, bringing with him sharp wit, deadly weapons, and an even sharper fashion sense. Blade is a true icon. With his trench coat, sunglasses, and sword, he's undoubtedly the coolest person in any room.
Blade also possesses superhuman strength, speed, and agility, which are definitely useful when battling bloodthirsty monsters. But what truly sets him apart is his attitude. A tough-as-nails hero with dry humor and a no-nonsense approach to justice, Blade isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty and will take on any villain, no matter how powerful.
Let’s bring Blade to the MCU and watch the kind of trouble he can cause.
4. Ironheart
Riri Williams, known as Ironheart, is a teenage genius who designs and builds her own Iron Man suit. As one of the few Black women with her own ongoing comic series, Riri is smart, sassy, and undeniably cool. She’s exactly the kind of character the MCU needs to stay fresh and exciting.
Riri Williams, the mastermind behind the Ironheart suit, is a teenage prodigy whose engineering skills could easily outshine Tony Stark. With her sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude, she’s become a fan favorite in no time.
What makes Ironheart truly special is that she represents the future of superheroes. As the next generation of heroes takes over, Riri is the one leading the charge, and that’s a message that’s bound to resonate with young audiences everywhere.
3. Spider-Woman
Jessica Drew, also known as Spider-Woman, is a genetically enhanced hero with the ability to scale walls and shoot venom blasts. She’s a multifaceted character with connections to both the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. Beyond her impressive powers, Jessica is witty and intelligent, making her an ideal fit for the MCU’s already stellar roster of heroes.
Imagine this: Jessica Drew, the woman behind the Spider-Woman mask, is a former spy with extensive experience in espionage and covert operations. A master of disguise and combat, she’s perfectly equipped to be an invaluable asset to any team.
What truly makes Spider-Woman stand out, though, is her sense of humor. With her in the MCU, the universe would be not only much funnier but also a lot cooler.
2. Blue Marvel
If you're searching for a superhero who’s both incredibly powerful and impossibly charming, look no further than Blue Marvel. A relatively new addition to the Marvel Universe, Blue Marvel has quickly made a name for himself. He’s a former hero who was forced into retirement due to racism but is now back to save the world.
To start with, Blue Marvel is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe. With unmatched superhuman strength, energy manipulation, and telekinesis, he’s also a brilliant scientist with a Ph.D. in physics. In short, having Blue Marvel in the MCU would guarantee an exciting, action-packed ride. A powerhouse who’s equally fun to be around, he’d be a phenomenal addition to the Marvel family.
1. Thunderbolts
The Thunderbolts are a team of reformed villains who work as superheroes. Given the MCU’s emphasis on character development and redemption arcs, this team would completely change the game.
Let’s take a moment to discuss John Jones, also known as Atlas. He’s the powerhouse of the team, boasting superhuman strength and durability that make him a formidable opponent. His tragic backstory also brings a layer of emotional depth to his character.
What truly makes the Thunderbolts so exciting is the dynamic between the characters. Picture Zemo and Abomination attempting to collaborate, or Ghost and Taskmaster trying to outsmart each other. It’s like the Avengers, but with more edge and a lot more attitude.
They’ve got the powers, the personalities, and the potential for some seriously epic storylines. So, why not bring the bad guys in to fight for the good guys?
