9 Female Marvel Heroes Who Desperately Deserve An MCU Movie

9. Agent 13

Marvel Studios

Emily VanCamp's Agent 13 has featured in two Captain America films now, but despite being an integral part of the character's supporting cast, Marvel have offered no indication that they'll be using her going forward.

And indeed, VanCamp herself has said that Sharon Carter won't, in fact, be featuring in the upcoming Infinity War, which was meant to feature just about every Marvel character ever, supposedly. That's really frustrating, particularly so if this does turn out to be Steve Rogers' last stand, as it stands to reason that we won't see the character in any other MCU franchises going forward.

That's a shameful waste of her potential, and of VanCamp's talents too. Sharon Carter is such an important part of the Captain America mythos and, while Rogers himself might bite the bullet come Avengers 4, there's no reason why Carter can't feature in some future Cap-themed series, be it Bucky-led or otherwise.

Better still, let Carter run things on her own. She's one of S.H.I.E.L.D's finest agents and a fine alternative to Black Widow too, if there's no route in sight for that project to get off the ground.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
