10 MCU Characters Who Need To Be Rebooted

8. Red Skull

The Red Skull was finally brought back to the MCU in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, albeit as the "Stonekeeper" watching over the Soul Stone on Vormir. It was a cool moment, but not one that culminated in him coming face to face with Captain America, unfortunately.

The moment for that has passed, so how can he return to this shared world? Well, if he's been freed from his "prison" in outer space, then the Red Skull could be back on Earth now. If so, the villain is bound to target the new, African-American Captain America given his racist nature and what you have to believe would be a desire to destroy anyone who wields the shield.

An alternative way to reboot the character is to introduce Sin, the Red Skull's daughter (probably granddaughter in the MCU) who is every bit as evil and hideously deformed as the original. However, there's still a lot that could be done with the original, and seeing as Hugo Weaving has no interest in returning, Ross Marquand is bound to be up for the task if the opportunity is presented to him.
