The MCU journey began 16 years ago with the release of ‘Iron Man’ in 2008. Since then, across 33 movies and numerous TV shows, we’ve been introduced to hundreds of characters. Whether their role was small or significant, each character had a chance to shine.
Selecting the best characters in such a vast cinematic universe is no easy task. That’s why we turned to Ranker, where over 50,000 fans cast their votes for their personal favorite MCU character. I must say, the number 1 choice surprised me. Let’s dive into the rankings!

Despite having one of the shortest character arcs in the MCU, Scarlet Witch’s story deeply resonated with fans. She endured loss, gained powers, and found love – a significant anchor in a chaotic world. Losing her love to Thanos and facing countless challenges along the way, she eventually experienced a profound breakdown during ‘WandaVision.’

The third season of Eric Kripke’s The Boys has been as popular as the first two, with fans loving the appearance of new faces to the main cast of the show such as Jensen Ackles in the role of Soldier Boy. With the 4th season right around the corner, the enthusiasm for the show continues to grow. Interestingly, during the 3 seasons, a strange phenomenon has been noticed, that is how some fans are deeply obsessed with Antony Starr’s Homelander.

An essential element of the fanbase’s love for the antagonist is his narcissistic and manipulative behavior, and it has grown to the point where they are obsessed with the character. This notion has captured Starr’s attention and responded to the fans who are imitating the Supe in real life.

Kick-started in 2008 with prime Robert Downey Jr. taking over as Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has come a long way from its roots. What started as a series of interconnected movies soon expanded into one of the entertainment industry’s largest ever following the release of 2012’s The Avengers.
The ultimate crossover laced with an intricate storyline gave fans a complete look at arguably the best comic book live-action universe, complete with actors that became synonymous with their roles.

The success of such a crossover largely came off the expertise and brainwork of Kevin Feige, John Favreau, and other early leads who had worked in the early age of superhero movies, that started taking shape in the late ‘90s. However, what if that age had happened a bit closer?

Superhero films have a knack for doing well when they blend with genres that suit them well. Be it the adventures of the Guardians of the Galaxy masquerading as a Space Opera or Captain America working his superhero magic in a political thriller, the genre seems to be fast-evolving into tropes and ideas that are commonplace enough to be classified as a setting rather than a genre.
Marvel Zombies
Marvel Studios has already announced Marvel Zombies is something that they are actively developing as an animated series. However, given that the multiverse is in play in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel could bring back some of its biggest stars who have retired from the franchise after Avengers: Endgame, and allow them to take their respective characters for a brand new spin, especially after a concept trailer that has been making the rounds on the internet

Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man receives less fan love than these superheroes in the MCU. When fans were asked to poll on the best superhero trilogy in the MCU, most of them chose Chris Evans’ Captain America trilogy and James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy. While the first Iron Man film remains one of the best films in the 30 billion-dollar franchise, Downey Jr.’s third film had unfavorable opinions, which made it many people’s third favorite trilogy.

Chris Hemsworth received his Hollywood Walk of Fame star today. Instead of carrying a hammer like his multi-film character, Thor, he received a good-natured hammering from his Avengers film colleagues.
Robert Downey Jr., who played Iron Man in the films, was in-person at the unveiling. But before jetting in, he surveyed the rest of the super-hero team for their reactions to the moment.
“I reached out to his fellow Avengers to distill to three simple describing words, ‘What is Chris Hemsworth?'” Downey said to the assembled. “First off, [Jeremy] Renner says, ‘Absurdly annoyingly amazing.’ [Mark] Ruffalo came in strong with, ‘Friend from work.'”
“Scarlett [Johansson] got to the heart of it with, ‘Sensitive leading lady.'”
But Chris Evans came in with the ultimate zinger. “Captain America calls him, ‘Second best Chris,'” Downey said.
For Downey’s own three words, he was sentimental: “Hollywood star recipient.” The two actors then...

Chris Hemsworth received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and his longtime Avengers co-star Robert Downey Jr. marked the occasion with a public roast of everyone’s favorite “Thor” actor. Downey asked their Marvel buddies Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans to describe Hemsworth in three words. Their answers had the audience in laughter.
“What is Chris Hemsworth?” Downey asked. “Renner says, ‘Absurdly, annoyingly amazing.’ Ruffalo came in strong with ‘friend from work.’ Scarlett got to the heart of it with ‘sensitive leading lady.’ Captain America calls him the ‘second best Chris.’ And I’ll bring it to the here and now: There is no one who deserves it more.

The X-Men '97 finale featured some huge Marvel Universe cameos, including Black Panther. However, we'd later discover that T'Chaka was beneath the mask, not T'Challa.
The decision has perplexed viewers, particularly when T'Challa's father is typically portrayed as the former Black Panther who fought alongside Captain America in World War II. T'Challa being sidelined has spawned many fan theories, with most convinced the decision must be related to Chadwick Boseman's death.
Following the actor's tragic passing, Marvel Studios chose not to recast his Black Panther. Instead, the hero died off-screen in the MCU, and 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ended with the reveal that he has a son, also called T'Challa.

From Chris Evans as Captain America to Scarlett Johanson as Black Widow, the list goes on. However, in terms of holding on to that role for the longest time ever, no one comes close to Hugh Jackman and his stint as Wolverine. However, despite a staggering tenure of 24 years and continuing, the actor has not evaded the thought of letting go of his character.

Like any good superhero, Marvel Television has returned from the dead. The label is what the Marvel Netflix shows like "Daredevil" and the ABC ones like "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." were made under. Marvel Television was rendered defunct in 2019 after Marvel Studios absorbed it. Now, though its operations remain under the studio's purview, its name is being used again as part of an effort to more cleanly delineate the projects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel Studios will continue to be the label of the films, while Marvel Television will headline upcoming Disney+ programs like "Agatha All Along" and "Daredevil: Born Again." Marvel Animation will cover projects like the excellent "X-Men '97" (which is not part of the MCU), while Marvel Spotlight is for small-scale projects like "Echo" (read our review here).

If Chris Evans hated one thing about his role as Captain America, it was the time he spent making public appearances for the promotions. Evans shared that his anxiety made him a less-than-ideal candidate for such appearances. He mostly avoided appearing in shows where he had to perform in front of an audience, which meant he was one of the few MCU lead stars not to host an SNL episode.

His co-star Scarlett Johansson has found herself in the SNL Five-Timers Club, hosting the show for a total of six times. However, he has company among the Og Avengers as Mark Ruffalo also turned down a hosting gig because he was scared.

Taking to social media to discuss his work on the series, former X-Men '97 showrunner Beau DeMayo revealed that Deadpool was "off-limits" to the team working on the X-Men: The Animated Series revival's first two seasons.
The prevailing theory among fans is that it must have something to do with Deadpool & Wolverine being on the horizon. The show has featured plenty of other big Marvel cameos, though, including Captain America, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange.
Marvel Studios Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum recently caught up with Screen Rant (via Toonado.com) about Wade Wilson's absence from X-Men '97. As it turns out, there's a chance we will eventually see the anti-hero make an appearance.
"I don't know that it was like a hard and fast rule that we couldn't use Deadpool," the executive explained. "We would have had to have an insanely compelling reason to bring Deadpool in.

Cyclops. Wolverine. Jean Gray.
Some characters have been at the forefront of the Marvel brand that are intimately connected to the X-Men. It is as Captain America and Iron Man are to the Avengers, Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben are to the Fantastic Four, and as Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman are to the Justice League. Whenever it comes to introducing these teams in new mediums, these characters are the premier choices to build out the universe with.

The legacy of Marvel is embedded in the arc of Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans as Iron Man and Captain America respectively and no one cares less about their impact than Christian Bale. The actor who once portrayed an iconic DC character himself – came out the other end branded as a legend who never knew where to start when it came to Marvel.

As an official entrant into the Marvel universe, it is time to throw Bale under the microscope and study the indifference with which he handled an era of Cbm icons that had such a hold over the entire world for 11 straight years.

‘What If…?’ brought a breath of fresh air to the MCU. Despite the first season receiving mixed reactions from fans, it was successful enough to justify additional seasons and expand the multiverse, drawing inspiration from several notable storylines.
Season 2 was released in an unconventional way, with episodes dropping over nine days like holiday gifts for fans to unwrap.
It’s been rumored for some time that ‘What If…?’ Season 3 will be the show’s final season, particularly following the recent departure of the head writer for other projects. In a recent interview with ComicBook, Brad Winderbaum, head of animation, seemingly confirmed this by describing Season 3 as “a culmination of the trilogy.”

‘What If…?’ was a breath of fresh air in the MCU; despite the first season of the show receiving a somewhat mixed reception from fans, it was successful enough to warrant additional seasons and expand the multiverse that the creators have been working on drawing loose inspiration from several notable storylines.

Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther remains one of the best-realised versions of the character in recent history. Black Panther is a popular character who has made multiple appearances in some of Marvel’s greatest projects, be it Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Iron Man: Armoured Adventures, or even the upcoming video game Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.

The Black Panther which was introduced in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War remains one of the best versions of the character in modern media, one that was expended on with Ryan Coogler’s 2018 MCU entry, Black Panther. One scene in particular demonstrates how accomplished and well-rounded the character is, which is a sequence from Civil War, where Bucky is taking on the unarmed Avengers, specifically, Tony Stark, Sam Wilson, Steve, Natasha, and of course, T’Challa.

While the MCU expands with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, the franchise has one of its biggest movies awaiting an update. The climax of the ‘Multiverse Saga’ is looming on the horizon. The franchise has yet to share any news about Avengers 5, especially after it lost its main villain Kang after the actor Jonathan Majors was sentenced and dropped from the role.
However, a popular scooper has revealed some major updates about the film. The film is set to focus on the ‘New Avengers’ which does not seem to include some Og members of the team such as Thor and Hawkeye.

The idea of bringing back a beloved '90s cartoon like "X-Men: The Animated Series" after 30 years sounds quite like a cash grab meant to exploit nostalgic grown-up fans, but it quickly became clear "X-Men '97" was more than the nostalgia-bait the premiere led us to believe.
Indeed, this is a thoughtful follow-up to the already exquisite '90s show, one that takes advantage of the streaming era's embrace of serialization and grittier stories to deliver a bleak yet still hopeful story about loss, grief, and family. The turning point came during the Genosha genocide episode, which made the story and the characters lose their innocence and open their eyes to the reality of their world. This is a season of television that has delivered some poignant character drama and some thrilling superheroics, all while telling a story with big consequences for mutantkind, but also the larger Marvel universe.

Marvel alleges an Instagram user illegally posted an image from the unreleased “Captain America: Brave New World” movie — and it has gone to court to try to make Instagram disclose the identity of the account’s operator.
Marvel filed a subpoena request May 7 in U.S. District Court California Northern District in San Jose, asking the court to order Instagram to identify the person or people behind @canwegetsometoast. Marvel alleged that the account “published a copyrighted image from an upcoming Marvel Studios motion picture, ‘Captain America: Brave New World,’ without authorization.” The Disney-owned studio is seeking the subpoena pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Reps for Instagram, which is owned by Meta, did not respond to a request for comment.

Audiences found themselves curious if Chris Evans intends to return to his fan-favorite role as Captain America.
It may be hard to believe for some, but over five years have now passed since audiences last saw Chris Evans appear on-screen as Steve Rogers, the MCU’s first Captain America.
For those who, somehow, did not see 2019’s mega-blockbuster Avengers: Endgame, Rogers traveled back in time to 1948 to live his life with his one true love, Peggy Carter. He materialized at the end of the film in the present to hand off his vibranium shield to Sam Wilson so that he could carry on his legacy.

If you’ve been keeping up with our publication, you likely know about the multitude of Marvel leakers and insiders online who possess privileged information.
Occasionally, the details they share are fictitious, reflecting personal opinions on the direction of future movies or TV shows. Yet, at times, their leaks are remarkably precise, risking spoilers for projects years ahead.
One mysterious leaker, known as CanWeGetSomeToast, remains unidentified. Operating primarily on X, they even offer a paid leak channel where users can access insider information such as castings and plots for a fee.
Typically, Marvel Studios, and consequently Disney, tolerate these leakers as they inadvertently promote their projects without causing significant harm to marketing efforts. However, there are instances where matters become serious. Recall when the entire script for ‘Quantumania’ was leaked on Reddit, or the even more alarming ‘Avengers: Endgame’ leak?

Beau DeMayo’s X-Men ’97 is a treat for fans who grew up with X-Men: The Animated Series. When the children’s content turned into an adult animated show for Disney+, fans were in for an anxiety-inducing brilliantly written series. The creators also managed to cater to the Marvel fans and bring in a few cameos like Captain America and Spider-Man. But DeMayo revealed that one superhero was strictly off-limits for them to bring into the series.
