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.

Nate Parker – Blade

Blade

Obviously, Marvel isn’t going to have Wesley Snipes reprise the role of Blade, so who is going to replace him? Here’s hoping Marvel looks at Nate Parker, a promising but still somewhat under-the-radar actor.

Parker has the physical presence of Blade and has demonstrated formidable acting talent in films like The Great Debaters and Beyond the Lights. He handled a more action-heavy, albeit supporting, role in Non-Stop with aplomb, temporarily holding his own against the likes of Liam Neeson, and all signs indicate that the actor is only going to get more in-demand from here on out.

Marvel should snatch him up while they still can.
