No thanks to all of them.

I doubt we'll see Nadia van Dyne, Miles Morales or Sam Alexander anytime soon. Instead I would put She-Hulk on this list.

Wouldn't be surprised if we get Iron Lad, but instead it's gonna be normal Kang using Hulk's faulty time-travel tech to de-age himself and infiltrate the world of heroes.

@bkmeijer - and just because of the into the spiderverse movies, I doubt we'll see miles in live action anytime soon. Sony probably wouldn't want an mcu version to interfere with the popularity of the animated one. Not to mention its not gonna be a good time for mcu miles since Peter is still in high school himself.

@bkmeijer - Nadia Van Dyne is definitely NOT happening at all. Sam Alexander? Ehhh... he’ll probably happen just not for at least 7-8 years. We have to remember that the Fantastic Four is coming... eventually and their popularity is going to be the main focus of the MCU for a few years after they debut. And the same goes for the X-Men too.

@Origame @WruceBayne - I think a lot of Peter Parker story can be told through the Fantastic Four. They won't be leaving anytime soon, especially if they introduce the kids later on too

I hate the marvel legacy characters, it's not DC where the archetypal heroes stand and represent an ideal (hope,justice,love etc.) There just random people. Why does there have to be a second hawkeye? The world needs a hawkeye? It's just a guy with a bow. I'm all for more new and diverse characters but give them there OWN identity and stories.

@TocharianMonk - I agree there is only one Spider-Man, one Thor, one Wolverine and so on.

@TocharianMonk - The worst is Black Widow, Natasha was useless most of the time and Yelena was not even a hero in the source material.

@TocharianMonk - but who will replace the awkward janitor from the first avengers movie?

@marvel72 - Sorry to break it to u but there are many Spider-Man(s), Wolverines, etc
They r just code names

marvel72 - 4/30/2021, 4:24 PM
@drbong - I get there is a Spider-Verse and loads of alternative Spider-Men but there is only one Spider-Man in the 616 universe and his name is Peter Parker.

Miles needs to change his name be a character on his own merit and not I'm Spider-Man because he is not,he can be if and when they kill off Peter.

Laura is X-23 and not Wolverine, give her a brand new name,I am pretty sure they can come up with a cool name for her.

I doubt we're getting Iron Lad or Sam Alexander. Probably not getting Nadia Van Dyne either
WruceBayne

@OmegaDaGrodd - I think Iron Heart will serve as the Iron Lad “placeholder” for the MCU.

OmegaDaGrodd - 4/30/2021, 9:59 AM
@WruceBayne - Yep, kills 2 birds with one stone

Sam Alexander can sit this one out.

I don't like the legacy thing, pretty much the trademark of Marvel characters is that the person comes first than the title, we don't read Spiderman: the adventures of the white NY kid, we are interested in Peter Parker regardless of the name of the comicbook he is in.

I hate legacy heroes, just make new characters how hard is that. It makes a little more sense in the movies because actors want to retire but why would to replace a well liked character if you don’t have to.

Iron Lad could work.

Shuri is NOT combat trained to be Black Panther. She needs to stay her cute ass in the lab.

@Mrtoke - a BP movie without T'challa is not something I would care to see.
Mrtoke
Mrtoke - 4/30/2021, 9:14 AM
@Nunyabiz - they’ll go that route and we’ll still watch it
Turtlestrong
Turtlestrong - 4/30/2021, 9:23 AM
@Nunyabiz - I get that...which is probably the hardest part for me. Maybe they can figure out how to make it work.

I guess those in charge are worried about pushback from 'fans' over Chadwick Boseman being recast as T'Challa.
Mrtoke
Mrtoke - 4/30/2021, 10:45 AM
@Turtlestrong - Chadwick was T’Challa to many fans. I think the majority would just put in a new Black Panther instead of recasting him.

CorndogBurglar - 4/30/2021, 8:56 AM
I couldn't have any less interest in Ironheart of I tried.
Nunyabiz
Nunyabiz - 4/30/2021, 9:00 AM
@CorndogBurglar - i agree
Turtlestrong
Turtlestrong - 4/30/2021, 9:24 AM
@CorndogBurglar - You know, I didn't think I wanted a Sam Wilson Captain America, but the show convinced me that he can make the mantle his own. And even left bread crumbs I think for Bucky to take the shield down the line. Who knows, maybe MCU version will be different.

All fakes of the real deals.

Left out Ms. Marvel.

Why do we need “Legacy” characters at all? Trademark purposes... gotta use a title or lose the trademark on it.

Beyond that, the Black Panther is already a legacy position. T’Challa wasn’t the first and won’t be the last. We just got a whole seis about how the US would want a new Captain America and what it means to the people.

“Why don’t they just make them new characters of their own?” Hello Stature, Iron Heart, Wiccan, Speed, Patriot...

All of the originals are better and more popular than these second rate ones.

Have I woken up to the Disney Channel treatment of the MCU? Sounds like it's time to move on to the revamp of the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises instead of bringing in the C-level heroes.

First of all, you said 'we' a few times, hope I wasn't included in that.

Some of the Legacy heroes are great, some. Amadeus Cho's Hulk made me cringe whenever I saw him on the page, Ironheart I've never really been sold on, purely because she was announced as Tony's replacement in the comics literally the same day they announced Tony would still be the definitive Ironman.

Honestly don't understand why the MCU can't just stick to a classic Young Avengers roster, all they need to do is set up Hulkling and give us an alternative Ironlad if they must.
