10 Characters the MCU Wasted

The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to grow with each entry. The anticipated Avengers movie Secret Wars won't arrive in 2027, but there are still plenty of upcoming exciting films in the studio's ever-expanding slate, including Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool and Wolverine, which is set to release in 2024 and introduce some key characters of the X-Men into the MCU.

Jane Foster as Mighty Thor in the MCU was a treat; it was fun watching her go from a love interest to a full-on superhero. However, Jane's time as Mighty Thor is short-lived, appearing only for one film and then being killed off. Furthermore, Love and Thunder fails to develop a compelling story for her, instead treating her as a mere plot device. This approach speaks to Phase Four's shoddy female representation and wastes one of the comics' most important storylines.

In the comics, Quicksilver plays a larger role in the Avengers and the X-Men. However, his movie counterpart dies before making an impression, likely for Wanda’s emotional development. His death is also nonsensical because a speedster like him should've been able to outrun a normal bullet, further adding salt to the wound.

4 Bruce Banner, AKA The Hulk Played by Mark Ruffalo The Hulk, also known as Bruce Banner , is one of the primary Avengers and a founding member. A scientist who turns into a raging green monster when angry following exposure to gamma radiation, Bruce struggles to control his emotions. He goes through an interesting journey throughout his time in the MCU but becomes increasingly comedic over time.

Alas, it still feels like Hope doesn’t play as much of a big role as other superheroes in the MCU. She is present during the final battle against Thanos and helps defeat Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but unlike other women in the Avengers, Hope is sidelined too often to really be considered a superhero.
