MCU's Underused Characters Fail to Meet Comic Counterparts

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) continues to evolve with significant developments, including the debut of the Fantastic Four and a new Captain America in 2025, as well as the anticipated Thunderbolts movie revealing the mystery buyer of Avengers Tower (Article 1). The MCU’s legacy also includes unresolved plotlines, such as the potential resolution of an Iron Man 2 mystery in the upcoming Armor Wars film, which may introduce a new armored villain (Article 2). Marvel's storytelling extends to its TV adaptations, with early shows like Daredevil and Jessica Jones originally produced by Netflix, now integrated into the MCU through Disney+ (Article 4). Despite its success, the MCU has occasionally failed to capture the essence of certain characters from the comics, leading to fan disappointment, though future projects may address these grievances (Article 5). Marvel's films creatively blend science fiction with real scientific concepts, enhancing their entertainment appeal (Article 3). Additionally, the MCU's intricate world-building since 2008 has created a detailed alternate history, with clever inclusions like Loki being portrayed as the mysterious D.B. Cooper (Article 6).
