We'd Love to See It! Black Actors Who Should Be in the MCU

Will the Blade reboot ever actually happen? While Marvel fans become more and more concerned that they will never see Mahershala Ali portray the character titular character, there are plenty of other actors that they'd love to see join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

When Sony had hold of the X-Men movies, many fans were dismayed by the way Storm was written.

Halle Berry did her best with the bad scripts that deeply minimized one of the most powerful mutants in the X-Men canon. Who could play the god-like mutant, and she is the only character they'd like to see brought to life?

Here are Black actors and characters we'd love to see join the MCU.

One actress whose name has floated across the X-Men fandom is Yetide Badaki. She's most well known for her incredible portrayal of The Queen of Sheba on American Gods. Yetide has the regal presence and strength required to bring to life the powerful mutant.

There are a few things that are canon that aren't happening in the present MCU. In the comics, Black Panther and Storm get married and have a son, Azari. The films are taking a different route, which also presents an opportunity to bring in a new character.

Becka Munroe is Storm's daughter who was born in the Savage Land. As Tempest, she can control the weather and also has features from the Savage Lands. Marsai Martin would be perfect for this role, which we'd definitely love to see in the MCU.

The end of Wakanda Forever introduced fans to Toussaint, the child of Nakia and T'Challa, in Haiti. There is a lot of story opportunity thanks to this, and we'd love to see an older Toussaint learning and mastering his strengths in Haiti before, hopefully, reclaiming his throne.

Jean Elie is a Haitian actor who has the chops to take on the character, and there is also a cool opportunity to have another Marvel character mentor him.

Who doesn't love Orlando Jones? He is an incredibly talented actor, and if you haven't watched American Gods, stop what you're doing and check out his performance as Mr. Nansi, aka Anansi the Spider.

The path the Black Panther films have taken has opened up an opportunity to introduce another Marvel character. Jericho Drumm is also known as Doctor Voodoo. Many hear the word "voodoo" and think "evil," but that's a stereotype. Dr. Voodoo is a hero, and he'd make a great mentor for Toussaint.

The character of Marie Laveau has been seen a lot, but she's also a Marvel anti-hero. The comic version of Marie Laveau maintains her beauty and youth through the use of vampire blood.

Sonequa Martin-Green was excellent in Star Trek: Discovery, and seeing her in a darker role would be fun. There's also an opportunity to use her as a villain in a Black Panther film or an ally in Blade.

Fans have been casting the role of Miles Morales since the character first hit the mainstream via video games and, eventually, Into the Spiderverse films. Caleb McLaughlin would make an excellent Miles Morales.

Technically, Miles has not hit the MCU yet, primarily due to real-life legal roadblocks between Sony and Disney.
