MCU: 10 Supernatural Heroes Who Could Make Marvel Millions
10. Daimon Hellstrom
Fantasy casting: Dacre Montgomery
Hellstrom is a very interesting character for the MCU to introduce as he doesn’t just build upon the supernatural elements of Doctor Strange, he opens up a completely new avenue too. As a demonic character, literally the son of Satan, Hellstrom has a lot of potential to crack open the MCU.
There’s a few characters with demonic leanings which the MCU is yet to explore; villain Mephisto springs to mind as having tons of potential. Also, while Thor & Tony’s Wanda-induced visions in Age Of Ultron were hellish (literally in Thor’s case), characters like Hellstrom let them tap into this well much deeper.
Despite his sinful origins though, Hellstrom is not a villain. He fights against his roots to be a good person, although he’s not always successful. One of the MCU’s best features has been character complexity and development - Hellstrom offers fertile ground for both.
With his ability to weird dark magic and pyromancy, he brings a new skillset to the screen.
Montgomery didn’t exactly blow the doors off Hollywood in Power Rangers, but he did a much better job in Stranger Things. As the complex Son Of Satan, he could definitely deliver.
