10 Marvel Characters Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Could Play In The MCU

10. Carl 'Crusher' Creel

Technically, Carl ‘Crusher’ Creel has already appeared twice in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Initially he was mentioned as the boxer Matt Murdoch’s dad fought in Daredevil, before having a more active role in the now non-MCU canon Agents of SHIELD. Given how little regard the movies have historically had for these shows however, this shouldn't stop the character coming into the franchise in again further down the line.

The New York native has typically been a villain of Daredevil in the comics, however his power as Absorbing Man would make him a worthy foe for any of the heroes in the MCU today.

You only have to look at Creel in the source material to understand why Dwayne Johnson would be the perfect man to bring him to the screen. Without even trying, the megastar has the look and the physique locked down, and would have no problem convincing the world that he was a boxer.

The Rock could also have a lot of fun with Absorbing Man’s ability. Hold Cap’s shield? Vibranium hand. Touch Mjolnir? An arm made from Uru. This could make him a very interesting villain no matter who he is brought in to face.
