14 Actors Almost Cast In The MCU (And Who They Could Still Play)

7. Felicity Jones

Who she almost played: Before her Oscar nomination, Jones was one of the contenders for the role of Sharon Carter in The Winter Soldier

Who she could still play: Famous as Dr. Strange’s female sidekick/love interest, Jones could light up the screen next to Benedict Cumberbatch as Clea. She’s proven an interest in comic book movies with her appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and has more than enough acting chops to stand up to Cumberbatch’s cocky Strange.

The only holdup might be that she’s now too big to accept a supporting role like this one, and might prefer a lead instead, but there’s no denying the need for a strong actress to play against Cumberbatch.
