MCU: 10 Supernatural Heroes Who Could Make Marvel Millions
4. Wiccan
Fantasy casting: Josh Hutcherson
Wiccan could make his debut as early as Spider-Man: Far From Home, or at least have a little nod to lay the groundworks.
Teenage heroes are a frequent feature in the comic canon, but aside from Spidey himself, there aren’t any, really. Shuri, if you count her as a hero, and technically Groot, but then it’s slim pickings.
Obviously, most of Peter’s friends were snapped then brought back at their age in Homecoming, but several students in their school will have aged around them. This could open the door for teenage heroes to now be in Peter’s class, be they Johnny Storm, Amadeus Cho or Wiccan himself.
Designed after Thor and Scarlet Witch, Wiccan is a Young Avenger with magical abilities and the potential to cause a reality shift. There’s a lot of directions the MCU can take this, depending on the skill set he’s given.
Joe Russo played the MCU’s first openly gay character in Endgame, and other films have winked at including queer characters, but we’re yet to get a major icon, despite a plethora in the comics. Wiccan could most definitely fill that role.
