Jose list of the top 10 badass women in

female characters from both TV and film
click on the link below for this list
we’ll be looking at popular actors and
actresses who feel like a good fit for
the Marvel Cinematic Universe and for
whom we’ve selected specific roles
number 10 Anna Kendrick Squirrel Girl in
the often self-serious and weighty
medium of comics this Great Lakes
Avenger is a breath of fresh air one
that has clearly connected with
comic-book readers developing a devoted
cult following of rabid fans Marvel is
claimed that they’re not interested in
making superhero movies but rather
adapting the source material to numerous
film genres since the MCU already
emphasizes comedy why not take it a step
further with a straight-up comedy that’s
low stakes but big on laughs Squirrel
Girl could anchor this film and with her
cute looks feisty personality and acting
talent we can think of no one better to
ensure the film’s success than Anna
Kendrick number 9 Dylan O’Brien Nova
rock dude less than me given that the
Nova Corps was already introduced in the
first guardians of the galaxy film this
intergalactic agent of law enforcement
and superhero seems primed to join the
MCU enter Dylan O’Brien this young actor
has more than proved himself capable of
holding an audience’s attention with
star making roles on TVs Teen Wolf and
in the film series The Maze Runner
regardless of whether they opted to
introduce the first Nova Richard Rider
or his successor Sam Alexander O’Brien
looks young enough to pass as a high
schooler of course they could also
retool the origin story to make him a
university age hero either way Dylan
O’Brien fits the bill
number eight lake Belle she-hulk this is
against the rules
considering the legal baggage that must
come with being the Incredible Hulk
Bruce Banner could benefit from having a
lawyer for a friend or better yet a
cousin Jennifer Walters not only shares
her cousins ability to take on a
muscular green form but thanks to there
being less gamma radiation in her blood
is capable of maintaining her own
personality and intelligence when
hulking out an accomplished lawyer and
crime fighter she’s quite the woman to
bring this character to life
convincingly would require a certain
finesse and Lake Bell feels like the
perfect candidate though better known
for her indie roles she’s proven herself
capable of great depth even in comedic
roles number seven
Ethan Hawke Moon Knight has previously
discussed Marvel is committed to
diversifying the types of films they
make given some of the darker characters
in their catalogue and after the fantasy
epic of Doctor Strange a supernatural
thriller doesn’t seem so far-fetched
fans have been praying for a moon night
Netflix series for years but why not a
film instead
Ethan Hawke feels like the perfect man
to make it happen bottom line is timing
with these things across his impressive
filmography he’s proven time and time
again that he’s got the chops to play
all manner of complex characters and in
this role as the mentally unstable marc
spector he’d be playing multiple
characters at once he talking to the
moon again of course
isn’t that who you were talking to No
number six Nikolaj coster-waldau Adam
warlock few characters have been teased
predicted or anticipated in the MCU like
baddam whenever he finally Grace’s us
with his cosmic presence we’d like it to
be with Nikolaj coster-waldau wielding
that power for starters it really
doesn’t hurt that coster-waldau really
looks the part but more importantly as
he’s proven beyond the shadow of doubt
as Jaime Lannister he’s got the chops to
play a character who audiences both love
and hate simultaneously which is a
prerequisite for playing warlock a
character known for making tough
decisions and having repeatedly succumb
to the darkness this is a hero
tailor-made for a man of coster-waldau
talents let’s give them a warning first
number 5 Kevin Bacon korvac a great hero
named Kevin Bacon teaches an entire city
full of people with sticks up their
butts that dancing well it’s the
greatest thing there is Kevin Bacon
star-lords earthly obsession has gotten
far too much lip service to not be
included in the MCU we’d settle for a
simple cameo that puts quill in the
Footloose star face-to-face but if he’s
willing we’d rather see bacon get a
proper role of all the possibilities
korvac feels like the best fit first off
it would be hilarious for star-lord to
have to go toe-to-toe with a villain
played by his hero but more importantly
korvac feels like a great villain for
the Guardians power inside of me with
his overwhelming power set
he’s an undeniably formidable foe while
his earthly origins would make for a
nice connection to star Lords own past
number 4 Michael Fassbender Doctor Doom
does not surrender with talks of 20th
Century Fox merging into Disney fans
have been thinking long and hard about
the properties and Fox’s repertoire and
after seeing Fox give us two lackluster
takes on this iconic villain we think
it’s high time that Victor Von Doom
received a cinematic adaptation worthy
of a character of his stature and
reputation plus it’s a good excuse to
get one of Hollywood’s greatest
character actors into the MCU Michael
Fassbender does menacing like few others
can the man is equally capable of
chilling you to the bone with a threat
or a smile now that’s the sort of skill
we need behind doctor dooms mask that’s
despit
number three Wesley Snipes blade if it
ain’t broke don’t fix it the blade
franchise was somewhat of an exercise in
diminishing returns as far as quality is
concerned but most fans and critics
agree that the leading man was not the
problem if anything Wesley Snipes his
blade feels like a worthy precursor to
the MCU so much so that we’d happily see
it casually brought into the fold
Snipes his previous adventures as the
character could have been going on the
whole time a conflict that long predates
the Age of Heroes and one which until he
makes his big debut
The Avengers remained blissfully unaware
of that being said if Snipes is out John
boyega should step in they only would
love you number two John Krasinski and
Emily Blunt mr. fantastic and Invisible
Woman husband and wife acting couples
don’t always work well together on the
big screen but after seeing a quiet
place cinema goers everywhere are sold
on this fan favorite pairs chemistry
both off and on the screen if Michael
Fassbender were actually willing to sign
up as Doctor Doom you need talent of a
similar caliber bringing to life the
Fantastic Four our endorsement goes to
John Krasinski and Emily Blunt make
their family dynamic in the kids central
to the stakes maybe they’ve remained in
the shadows to protect their children
but are finally forced into the light by
doom after multiple disappointing
adaptations is time for the Fantastic
Four to get their due number one Gary
Oldman Green Goblin slashed Norman
Osborn
though we’re excited to see Tom Hollands
spider-man facing off against some
previously unseen villains
it feels inevitable that he’ll
eventually need to come up against his
greatest nemesis the Green Goblin the
thing is Willem Dafoe already set the
in order to revisit the character of
Green Goblin and do it justice we’re
going to need an Academy award-winning
actor to take this iconic businessman
slash maniac to new heights and when
you’re looking for a sure thing there’s
no better person to turn to than Gary
Oldman a decorated actor who has earned
praise in both Stern and maniacal roles
he’s the best man for the job bring me
everyone do you agree with our picks
