5 Marvel Characters That Should Be in the MCU

Now that Marvel has officially moved on from most of the original Avengers, it’s time to speculate who could be on their way to the MCU. More specifically, I’d like to focus on who I think will/should be introduced into the MCU. Here are the top 5 Marvel characters who should be in the MCU.

Angela

This one may be a little on the tricky side. After a long dispute, Angela was plucked from Image Comics (where she was created) and given to Marvel Comics (where she currently resides). The usage of her character isn’t entirely known but if she’s allowed to be in the MCU, she should be.

Angela has ties to Asgard, is the (not so) secret sister of both Thor and Loki, and once Queen of the underworld, Hel. But it doesn’t end there.

Marvel has also spun the character to be an important part of the LGBT community. With Kevin Feige already saying that he’s adding an LGBT character, who better to add than Angela? Therefore, Angela is one of the superheroes who should be in the MCU.

Phyla-Vell

Of all the characters in Marvel, none may have the lineage that Phyla-Vell has. She is half Kree and half Titan. This means that she has immense power and can change the course of the MCU in the blink of an eye.

During her time as a hero, she has wielded the Quantum Bands, controls the Quantum Sword, and has played a major part in most modern day galactic events. More than that, Phyla-Vell is a no brainer for the MCU because introducing her would be easy. It’s already widely known that the MCU plans to explore the cosmos and very few characters know the cosmos like Phyla-Vell.

Silver Surfer (Norrin Radd)

As Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer in the upcoming ‘Fantastic Four: The First Steps’ will actually be Shalla-Bal and not Norrin Radd, in a sequel (if it happens), will we be getting Norrin?

In the comics, Norrin Radd is the Herald of Galactus and his sole job is to find worlds for Galactus to feed on. As the Herald, he is imbued with the Power Cosmic. This means that he can travel at the speed of light, has enhanced strength, durability, stamina, and reflexes, is able to time travel, can create stars and black holes, can use both telepathy and teleportation, and so much more.

Beta Ray Bill

I know what you’re thinking. Although not in living and breathing form, Betta Ray Bill has already appeared in the MCU. For those who missed it, Beta Ray Bill’s head was shown in Thor: Ragnarok, thereby confirming his existence. 

Betta Ray Bill is the perfect character to join and represent Asgard. Above being one of the most interesting characters to look like Thor but not named Thor, Beta Ray Bill has wielded Mjolnir, is good to the core and has more galactic adventures than nearly anybody already in the MCU. If Marvel is truly done with Chris Hemsworth after the fourth Thor movie, aside from Jane Foster, who better to replace him than Beta Ray Bill?

Nova

The first Guardians of the Galaxy teased us with the inclusion of the Nova Corps. The movie showed exactly what they are capable of and showed us why they are the galactic police force of Marvel Comics. However, for all that they did, they left out their greatest member.

There isn’t a character in Marvel’s catalog that’s been as requested as Nova. Nova is a 1990s creation and although he didn’t achieve mainstream popularity right away, he did cement himself on the hearts of all who read him. 

If Marvel is looking to introduce him, there is no better event to do it in than the Annihilation Event…but that doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon. So, instead of waiting for the perfect event, Marvel just needs to bring him in. Until they do, Nova will remain one of my superheroes who should be in the MCU.

And that’s it. The top 10 Marvel characters who should be in the MCU. What do you think? Agree? Disagree? Who would make your superheroes who should be in the MCU list?
