10 Awesome New Characters To Expect In MCU Phase 4

2. Spider-Man

After Sony's Amazing Spider-Man 2 failed to bring in the money that was expected of it, rumours have already begun to circulate that Marvel Studios have been in discussions to bring the character over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While that probably won't happen any time soon, surely the character - who is arguably Marvel's most popular hero - will be brought over to their most successful movie franchise. He would have to be completely rebooted - of that's there's no doubt - as it wouldn't really make sense for him to have been an established character and not already have encountered the likes of S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Avengers, but bringing a new incarnation of the webbed wonder in to a new-look Avengers team in Phase 4 would ensure interest in the franchise - which will then be more than ten years old - does not wane. Spider-Man has associations with so many Marvel Cinematic Universe characters and organisations in the comic books - the existing Avengers, the upcoming Captain Marvel and Doctor Strange, and S.H.I.E.L.D. for example - so it wouldn't be at all difficult to seamlessly integrate him.
