the Collector, Lady Sif, and Dum Dugan in the MCU
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been celebrated for its expansive storytelling and iconic characters, but some were completely underutilized. Throughout the MCU timeline, it has brought larger-than-life heroes, nuanced villains, and memorable supporting players to the screen. However, not every character gets their due. Some side characters were introduced with enormous potential, only to be sidelined or underutilized in the grander narrative.
9 Benicio Del Toro's The Collector First Introduced In Thor: Dark World Close Benicio Del Toro’s flamboyant portrayal of Taneleer Tivan, aka The Collector, made an immediate impression in Thor: The Dark World and Guardians of the Galaxy. As a mysterious and eccentric figure obsessed with acquiring rare artifacts, The Collector was a perfect fit for the cosmic side of the MCU. His first appearance even suggested that the Collector would be the one to acquire the Infinity Stones.
7 Jaimie Alexander's Lady Sif First Introduced In Thor Close Jaimie Alexander’s Lady Sif was introduced as one of Thor’s closest allies and a fierce Asgardian warrior. First appearing in Thor, Sif was defined by her loyalty and combat prowess, making her a fan-favorite character. Despite her promising introduction, Sif’s appearances dwindled over time. She was conspicuously absent from Thor: Ragnarok, and her contributions in Thor: Dark World were overshadowed by other characters.
While Dum Dum Dugan briefly appeared in Agent Carter and in archival footage, their stories were never fully explored. Dugan’s character could have been used to delve deeper into Captain America’s legacy or to explore the impact of the Howling Commandos on the modern-day MCU. In the comics, Dugan and his comrades became central members of S.H.I.E.L.D. who remained with the agency long into the modern era.
4 Winston Duke's M'Baku First Introduced In Black Panther Close Winston Duke’s M’Baku, the leader of the Jabari Tribe, was a standout character in Black Panther. Duke brought a mix of humor, charisma, and strength to the role, making M’Baku one of the most captivating MCU side characters. His arc in the film, from adversary to ally, demonstrates his complexity and leadership, making him especially compelling.
