9 Female Marvel Heroes Who Desperately Deserve An MCU Movie

3. Miss America

America Chavez
Marvel Comics

America Chavez is one of Marvel's newest characters, but one more than capable of anchoring their own solo film too.

Created by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta in 2011, the time-warping, reality-bending LGBT* Latinx superhero has fast established herself as being among the most powerful Marvel characters out there, having held membership of both the Young Avengers and their more pacifistic counterparts, the Ultimates.

America, much like Ms. Marvel, is a really important character - one who'd feel right at home within the limitless confines of Marvel's Cinematic Universe and among the Avengers themselves too. Further to that, however, is that America has been leading her own solo series for close to a year now, reiterating that again, she's got bags of potential to exert on the big-screen.

Netflix has been mooted as a potential destination for the heroine, but a high school oriented film in the vein of this year's Spider-Man: Homecoming would also be tremendous. Either way, it's about time Marvel had a serious conversation about bringing her into a live-action arena, either as an Avenger, or as her own hero first and foremost.

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.
