10 Actors Who Need To Join The Marvel Cinematic Universe, And Who They Should Play

With Avengers: Age of Ultron capping off Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe this May, and the studio moving boldly forward into Phase Three, which will bring new characters like Captain Marvel (yes, the Carol Danvers version!) and the Inhumans into the fold, the future is beyond bright for comic-book fans. So far, Marvel has put nary a foot wrong (we're just going to go ahead and overlook the weaker aspects of Iron Man 2 on account of it giving us Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow), both in terms of its films' plots and the actors that the studio has cast as its super-powered protagonists, and there's no reason to think that trend is going to end anytime soon.

Vin Diesel – Black Bolt

Black Bolt

Yes, yes, I know he played Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, but Black Bolt, leader of the Inhumans, is the role that Diesel was born to play. The character is superhumanly strong and an extremely proficient warrior, but Black Bolt also possesses a voice capable of levelling an entire city. Tell me Diesel’s abnormally deep, imposing voice isn’t the perfect fit for a character like that.

Moreover, the fact that we would barely hear Diesel in his Black Bolt guise would avoid any potential confusion with Groot – and Diesel completely looks the part. He has the hulking frame and silent machismo to pull it off. He’s far and away the most obviously perfect dream casting on this list – get it done, Marvel.

So, there you have it. Those are our picks for who should join the MCU and who they should play. Check them out again below and let us know which ones you agree/disagree with.
