9 MCU Characters Who Deserved More Screen Time
3. Maria Hill
The only challenger to Hawkeye's screen time here is Cobie Smulders' Maria Hill. The agent has featured in six MCU movies to date, but can you remember anything she's done? Her bazooka shot was probably her most cinematic feat to date in Spider-Man: Far From Home, and that wasn't even technically her, but a Skrull in disguise.
Spider-Man: Far From Home probably is the best counterpoint to the argument that she hasn't had enough screen time; not necessarily because she was bad in it, but because she was for once given an appropriate amount of screen time.
At times, Smulders' dry sense of humour has come through clearly and Hill has made up an intriguing bit part of Avengers team ups. At other times though, she's only been there because of her proximity to Nick Fury. It's not always that she hasn't had enough screen time, but that they simply haven't written for her when she has.
As a senior SHIELD Agent, one more loyal to Fury and to her morals rather than her rank, she surely has a compelling UK story to tell. So far though, the MCU has been determined not to tell it.
