TheMarvel Cinematic Universeis full of dozens of characters . While there are a circle of independent personas who have gotten their own movies , there are even more side characters who have been featured to varying degrees . With so many characters , the MCU is n’t always able-bodied to pore on all of these fiber as much as they should .

Many fascinating and fan - favourite figure have n’t gotten enough aid in the movies , plus the talents of the thespian were basically wasted .

Here are 10 MCU characters that the franchise did n’t give their due .

Iron Man looking inside Sokovia in Avengers Age of Ultron

VISION

Vision is on this list because he ’s been made to seem way less potent than he was originally set up to be . InAvengers : Age of Ultron , we see Vision make out to life as part Jarvis and part the mind Edward Durell Stone . He is rig up to be an exceedingly powerful and influential grapheme , but this seems to be fundamentally dropped .

While the Harlan Stone in his head is a major plot item inAvengers : Infinity War , the character could have used a lot more development . However , there is still time for that as a Disney series is going to have him and Scarlet Witch .

LADY SIF

Lady Sif is a character who was featured briefly in the   orifice twoThormovies and was then drop from the movies , although the Asgardian makes an appearing inAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.She is a ferocious warrior who fought alongsideThor . It seems in these early years of the MCU that the dealership did n’t eff what to do with female character unless they could be a possible love interest , and this meant Lady Sif did n’t get much evolution at all .

While other interchangeable archetypal characters might have taken her place , she was a character many fans would have wish to see more of .

SCARLET WITCH

Scarlet Witch is another lineament whose powers have been underutilized in the MCU . Similarly to Vision , she was congeal up as being one of the most powerful Avengers , but her ability were n’t really explored in depth .

She has had some strong moments - such as destruct Vision ’s stone inInfinity Warwhile fight off Thanos - but it seemed like the MCU could never quite adjudicate Scarlet Witch ’s index spirit level .

MARIA HILL

Sadly , many of the characters on the list are women . While the MCU has gotten well with having a form of female characters with distinct personalities , the franchise did n’t get down out that way . Maria Hill was one of the former womanhood in the franchise that fan really liked but she did n’t get enough screen metre .

Hill   has been a side role in a few different flick and she is luckily returning forSpider - Man : Far From Home . We bring forth to see more of her inTheAvengersandCaptain America : The Winter Soldier ; however ,   after that , her report was mostly dropped .

PEGGY CARTER

Peggy is woefully another woman on this list , and it ’s such a shame that the MCU did n’t give her her due . InCaptain America : The First Avenger , she had a prominent part and was a potent , capable leader .

Given thatAvengers : Endgameset up Peggy as Captain America ’s final love interest , having her feature film more in the MCU films would have been great . While there was briefly theAgent Cartertelevision show , the movies should have included her a bunch more than they did .

WAR MACHINE

War Machine , mostly known as Rhodey , is another side character that should have gotten more focus . While he was definitely a unique and independent character in theIron Mantrilogy , there is definitely an argument that could be made for him gettinghis own movie . While that did n’t happen , hopefully , he will get more blind metre in the future in further movies or telly serial .

He ’s a fascinating counterpart to Iron Man and he deserves to have his back story explored further .

SAM WILSON

Sam Wilson is another side character that has been underutilized ; that enunciate , this issue   seems set to be fixed before long . Now that Sam has been break the Captain America shield , there is a fortune of chance to explore this character further and memorize more about him .

InThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierseries , devotee will last get to see the character more in - depth and have him be featured as more than just a best friend and sidekick to Steve Rogers .

BUCKY BARNES

It ’s no secret that Bucky Barnes is a staggeringly popular character with devotee and in fandom . However , he ’s had shockingly minuscule screen time in the MCU since he first appeared inThe First Avenger .

Plus , most of his screen time has n’t admit any dialogue . The MCU has decidedly wasted the character as well as the acting talents of Sebastian Stan . But , just like Falcon , Bucky ’s character will be explored in the upcoming series .

BLACK WIDOW

Black Widow might have been one of the original six Avengers , the franchise was all over the place with her characterization . In early MCU films , she seemed more like a teenage fighting fantasy and did n’t have much of her own fiber .

Then , theAge of Ultronstoryline came out of nowhere and made it seem like she hat herself because she could n’t have children . And , to top it all off , in the end , she was pour down inEndgame . As the only female retaliator , she deserved a bunch more love in the franchise than she got .

MOST OF THE VILLAINS

A pile of the baddie in the series did n’t have a lot of development or even make a lot of horse sense . Most of the interesting conflict in the MCU imply the offspring between the heroes themselves .

Villains like Ultron and the Mandarin really fell matte , although for very different reasons . While it ’s strong to focus on villains consecrate how many wedge do n’t even get enough screen time , many of the villains could have been written better .
