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.

Jessica Chastain – Medusa

Medusa

Jessica Chastain has already expressed her desire to be in a comic book movie, but she isn’t content with taking a backseat to the action and playing a simple girlfriend role. Unfortunately, the Black Widow is already taken, but we’ve got another awesome redheaded heroine for Chastain to play: the Inhumans’ Medusa.

Chastain isn’t just perfect for the role because of her luscious red locks; she’s got the acting chops to make Medusa, the wife of Black Bolt and queen of the Inhumans, a truly compelling character demanding of our respect. Medusa is a fierce warrior and a strong ruler, and she has enough super powers and prominence to hold Chastain’s attention.
