TheMarvel Cinematic Universespans a decade and has introduced many characters to audiences across the world . With each new plastic film , the cast of character grows a picayune more and gives fans new graphic symbol to make love . Whether they be villains or paladin , it does not weigh to the truly dedicated . Of naturally , Thanos ’ ( Josh Brolin ) snap took away half of those beloved characters at the end ofAvengers : Infinity War .
Even though the annoyance lessens with time , helped along by the possibility of many of these characters returning inAvengers 4 , we still need to honor those who graced our screens . After all , the MCU has the rich tapis of character of any dealership . Each of the MCU characters have their own fanbase , for the most part . With the newfangled blood introduced in Phase 3 , the long - awaited multifariousness within in the MCU begins to finally come to realisation .
Still with every successful character addition , there is usually the less well - received members . They are almost always the villains . While the MCU does heroes really well , the villains usually terminate up suffer for it . Now and then , we ’ll regain a rhomb in the rough but even diamonds have their flaws .
With this in mind , we ’re face back as far as Phase 2 of the MCU to appraise how these character additions strike the franchise . Some won our hearts and others broke them , not in a good elbow room either .
Here are10 New Character Additions That Hurt The MCU ( And 15 That save It ) .
SAVED: M’Baku (Black Panther)
Black Pantherbrought us a casting of utterly amazing characters . It only seems meet to complain it off with the one who everyone loves the most : M’Baku .
The leader of the Jabari Tribe begin as a rival for the pate for Wakanda . afterwards , he provides tax shelter and acts as an friend to T’Challa ( Chadwick Boseman ) and his deposed family . finally , he becomes part of the Council and a steadfast ally of the recrowned king .
It ’s no surprise that audience enjoy M’Baku . He ’s boisterously pollyannaish and friendly , but also one of the best paladin in the MCU .
HURT: Ronan (Guardians of the Galaxy)
We ’re putting Ronan at low end of the Hurt tilt as he has a luck to ransom himself in the upcomingCaptain Marvel .
Lee Pace was absolutely menacing as the character in the firstGuardians of the Galaxyfilm . The government issue was that he send the cardinal sin of being boring .
Ronan just did not have an interesting news report .
We do not feel his personal stake in it . He speaks in terms of a bigger picture while consultation want more intimate details to hook onto . reference influence when there is something to relate in them . Ronan fails on that level .
SAVED: Zemo (Captain America: Civil War)
Perhaps it ’s eldritch to call the man who break up the Avengers a quality who saved the MCU . Still , what he did stands for itself .
Zemo broke - up the Avengers . for sure , the programme does not make a whole amount of sense in hindsight , but inCaptain America : Civil War , he enacts a programme that does what many bad guys before him attempted : irrevocably fractures the Avengers . He out - thought some of the chic people in the world and made it look promiscuous , on top of that .
With that , we got an excellent flick and a set - up to such film likeBlack PantherandAvengers : Infinity War .
SAVED: Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne (Ant-Man)
The duet known as Ant - Man and the Wasp belike will never receive the fanfare of say Captain America ( Chris Evans ) or Iron Man . That does n’t mean that they have n’t brought some unique humour .
Where most Marvel film go bragging , theAnt - Manseries goes little . Not just in the superpower department– both characters have intimate and personal tale .
They have motivations that are understandable : they require to keep their families .
By having these goals , it makes for some engaging storytelling . Hope wants to get hold her female parent and remediate the relationship with her father . Scott just desire to be a hero for his girl . In the end , is n’t facilitate our families what we all desire ?
HURT: Everett Ross (Captain America: Civil War)
CIA agentive role Everett Ross very much represents the whole “ company humans ” mentality that makes the Sokovia Accords potential . Introduced inCaptain America : Civil War , Ross did not endear himself to like half of the fanbase when he laughed when asked if Bucky Barnes ( Sebastian Stan ) can have a lawyer .
With hisBlack Pantherreturn , he was very much the weak radio link in the movie . It ’s not that Martin Freeman is a bad actor , but Ross was the weakest persona in the flick .
He would have functioned better as a one - off rather than hear to make him a multi - film character .
He just does n’t have the magic spell to be the next Phil Coulson ( Clark Gregg ) .
SAVED: Vulture (Spider-Man: Homecoming)
One actor who definitely did not waste his nefarious role ? The illustrious Michael Keaton as the Vulture inSpider - Man : Homecoming .
Adrian Toomes ' motives are perfectly understandable . Fired from his job in cleaning up after superheroes , Toomes sour to a life story of crime in gild to withhold his loss . His villainous endeavour makes a draw of sense , especially in his desire to target a shipment of Tony Stark ’s ( Robert Downey Jr. ) tech . Stark helped produce the Department that cost him his caper .
Unlike most of the MCU scoundrel , interview did not need to see him perish and we hope to see him again .
HURT: “The Mandarin” (Iron Man 3)
One of the most disappointing scoundrel to ever grace the filmdom in the MCU , The Mandarin is n’t even really the Mandarin .
While it was meant to be a shocking wrench in Iron Man 3 , it give way to land .
More significantly , it frustrated a lot of fans who were hoping to see Tony Stark ’s archnemesis on the big screen . Plus , the real Mandarin could have introduce magic into the MCU before 2016’sDoctor Strange .
While Ben Kingsley is a fine player and did a enceinte line of work in the role , it was just overshadow the story .
SAVED: Wanda Maximoff (Avengers: Age of Ultron)
You do not end up an Avenger by living a happy , orchard apple tree pie sort of life . Wanda Maximoff shines a visible radiation on that .
Stuck under rubble with her twin brother Pietro ( Aaron Taylor - Johnson ) after a Stark bomb destroy her parent , give king no one understands by HYDRA , lose her twin in the Battle of Sokovia , branded a Ishmael by the international biotic community , Wanda does not live an easy life . Yet she go forward to fight down for a new twenty-four hours .
She finds new love with Vision ( Paul Bettany ) and finds booster in her fellow Avengers .
If Thanos did not have the Time Stone , she probably would have make headway .
HURT: Sharon Carter (Captain America: The Winter Soldier)
In the comic , Sharon Carter , aka Agent 13 , works as a major mover and mover and shaker within SHIELD and as part of Steve Rogers life sentence . She ’s an expert fighter , master tactician , and an splendid spy . It ’s a ruth that we do n’t get that in the movies .
InWinter SoldierandCivil War , Carter ’s role is minimum at best .
They reduce her to a satellite love interest that , frankly , a big part of the fanbase does not want .
earnestly , kissing Steve inCivil Warcame aright out of nowhere . If she was build up to the degree of hour aunty Peggy ( Hayley Atwell ) or Bucky , then perchance this would make sense .
SAVED: Okoye (Black Panther)
Who does n’t hump Okoye ? Self - possessed , royal as a queer , a savage warrior , she ’s the leader of the Dora Mijilae who puts her duty to Wakanda above all else .
Okoye is one of the most amazing characters that MCU brought with the amazingBlack Panther . Okoye fights against her lover , grappling between duty and Sojourner Truth , and shake a genuinely stunning red dress . She ’s who we all secretly bid we could be .
When she returned inAvengers : Infinity War , her origin and gestural expression stay on as on stage as ever . The look she gives Bruce Banner ( Mark Ruffalo ) when he trip in the Hulkbuster armor ? Forever iconic .
