10 Marvel Superheroes For Phase 4 (And Who Should Play Them)

10. Squirrel Girl - Alison Brie

Squirrel Girl is one of the most underestimated heroes in Marvel Comics history. Her ability to control squirrels may not sound like much, but it€™s helped her defeat the likes of Thanos and Doctor Doom with minimal assistance. The fact hat she currently has her own solo series - The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl - signifies just how popular this mightier-than-you€™d-expect superhero has become. Squirrel Girl is technically a mutant, though, so there could be some legal issues stopping Marvel from bringing her into the fold. Seeing as Squirrel Girl pops up in just as many Avengers comics as X-Men ones could mean that her rights are shared, though €“ like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. As for casting, we€™d be looking for someone who could embody the meek, unassuming side of Squirrel Girl€™s alter-ego Doreen Green while also pulling off the confident heroic scenes when push comes to shove. Community€™s Alison Brie seems like a fine fit, and she also has sizeable comedy chops - always a bonus in the MCU. Additionally, James Gunn of Guardians Of The Galaxy has expressed an interest in directing a Squirrel Girl movie. With his proven mastery of balancing comedy and heroism, he could surely pull this one off with ease.
