10 Characters You Didn’t Know Exist In The MCU
1. Namor?
A subtle Easter egg from 2010's Iron Man 2 could turn out to be more significant that anyone realised in the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
During the scene where Tony Stark is being debriefed by SHIELD, a digital map in the background pinpoints the whereabouts of other potential Avengers recruits. The location of frozen Cap, Thor's hammer and even Wakanda are earmarked.
But most interesting of all is a mystery marker in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Many fans have speculated that this one alludes to Namor the Submariner, Marvel Comics' aquatic superhero.
Almost eight years later, the character is yet to find his way to MCU waters but there's always a chance that will change during the next phase of movies.
Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige has hinted that the next crop of MCU films released after Avengers 4 will be radically different to their predecessors. One set in the depths of the ocean would certainly fit that bill.
