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.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau – Adam Warlock

Adam Warlock

Seeing Warlock’s cocoon in the Collector’s lair during Guardians of the Galaxy means that the character will probably be popping up in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 – or, if not then, at the very least during the Infinity War films. And given that the cocoon is a curio by this point, my guess is that the MCU’s Adam Warlock will have been cruising around the galaxies for some time before his big screen introduction.

As such, a slightly older actor who still has the Warlock look, like Game of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, seems to be the right way to go. And on that HBO fantasy hit, the actor has proven that he can face off physically or dramatically with just about any character and still come out on top. He could definitely give Warlock the mettle he needs.
