How Marvel Should Do A MCU Movies & Netflix Crossover

2. The New Avengers

Luke Cage and Jessica Jones are two other Netflix heroes who could easily work alongside their big screen counterparts, both in terms of personality, and their gifted skill-set.

Krysten Ritter and Mike Colter are both fantastic in their respective roles, and though they're yet to tie the knot in the MCU, the seeds of their winning partnership have already been planted, and will likely sprout in seasons 2 and 3 of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones respectively. After that, however, would it not make sense for Marvel to capitalise on their chemistry, and introduce them to Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

At the moment, Jessica and Luke couldn't be further from the Avengers, and Jones herself has long derided the theatrics associated with super-heroics. In the context of a post-Sokovia, post-Infinity War climate, however, there's scope for both Luke and Jones to spearhead a new version of the Avengers - one far more in tune with the Marvel public than its predecessor.

As you can imagine, there's already a precedent in the comics for Jones and Cage to join at least one kind of the Avengers. They did so from 2005-2012, and they could easily do so again in a different format, just as the Avengers gear up for a new era, and deal with the devastating effects of Thanos' snap.
