Marvel Characters Who Aren’t in the MCU but Should Be

The Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps getting bigger, but there are still plenty of characters from the comics that have yet to appear on the big screen. Here are some of the best (and worst) characters that are absent from the Marvel Cinematic Universe…

Namor

Also known as The Sub-Mariner, Namor is one of Marvel’s original super heroes, and dates back to the Golden Age of comics. The movie rights for Namor seem a little murky, and his similarity to Aquaman means that Marvel’s king of Atlantis might not show up in the MCU any time soon.

Spider-Woman

Spider-Woman, also known as Jessica Drew, might appear to be a cheap Spider-Man knock-off, but her backstory is unrelated. A former Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Spider-Woman is a big part of the “Secret Invasion” comic event in which shape-shifting Skrulls take over the Earth.

Nova

While the Nova Corps appear in “Guardians of the Galaxy,” we have yet to see the cosmic superhero who is simply known as Nova. This hero, also called Richard Rider, will probably show up in a future “Guardians” or “Thor” movie.

Captain Britain

While we’re getting a “What If?” animated adventure on Disney+ with Agent Peggy Carter as Captain Britain, we have yet to get an authentic comic book accurate Brian Braddock. Where Captain America got his strength from science, Captain Britain was gifted super powers from Merlin.
