3) Sentry
Many of the heroes already introduced into the MCU are well-powered, but very few hit absolute heights. Thor and The Hulk do, for example, while the likes of Cap, Iron Man and even Spider-Man all consistently have to excel themselves to succeed against great odds. Introducing more truly powerful characters into upcoming Marvel movies could certainly add a little extra danger to the lives of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
Cue The Sentry: the persona forgotten about by middle-aged and overweight Robert Reynolds until he has visions of his returning enemy the Void. Marvel managed to retrospectively insert Sentry into their comic history by also showing other heroes to have forgotten about him (with some exceptions) before his return. His power is immense and he has proven to be a vital player in some recent event storylines that Marvel have put together.
He’s also very complex and, in the Siege storyline, it becomes known that his enemy the Void is actually a repressed and dangerous part of his own personality. This schizophrenic tendency would make for a truly intriguing battle on-screen, don’t you think?
