Marvel captured lightning in a bottle on Netflix in 2015 with Daredevil and most of the series that followed only added to the foundation of the MCU they seem to be carefully laying out on there.

From the Old Boy inspired hallway fight at the end of episode two of Daredevil's first series to Luke Cage clearing out a building to Bring Da Ruckus in episode three of his series, there's something really special about the world they're building.

In order to flesh out the world they're crafting, they've so far provided a stellar supporting case for most of the heroes, Malcolm and Misty Knight being great examples in particular. Marvel even managed to translate Nuke into a workable character in Jessica Jones, a feat which sounds ludicrous on paper, but it worked.

So, we know that there are more series on the way and that there is more of New York to explore. With that comes new characters and with how Jessica Jones' second series ended we can assume that Hellcat is on the way, but who else could enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe via way of Netflix?

5. Shang-Chi

While Iron Fist didn't turn out to be as exciting as most Iron Fist fans would have liked, there is still hope for martial arts-based heroes in the MCU and it could come in the form of Shang-Chi.

The Bruce Lee inspired hero would make a great addition to Iron Fist or Daredevil and they could even have him retain his self-duplicating powers he acquired in recent years during the events of Infinity in the comics.

He's no stranger to battling The Hand and the duplication ability would allow him to even the odds with The Hand and their endless surplus of ninjas however, Shang-Chi would be an excellent addition even in his regular incarnation.

Shang-Chi has also been shown to slot into just about any story, from taking on Thanos' Black Order to rooting out cells of Hydra or The Hand as well as working with Spider-Man, Daredevil and even having high-tech martial arts weaponry created for him by Tony Stark.
