At this point in time, Marvel is yet to really use any of it's more complex characters, at least in the MCU proper.

Soon though, Marvel will release a series centred on Moon Knight, a character with dissociative identity disorder and therefore a character whose stories often have a strong focus on mental health. There will also be one on Ms. Marvel, an American Muslim whose books contain more socio-political insights than the MCU has broached thus far.

With such uncharted territory being ventured into through these characters, there is always the possibility that Marvel could royally mess up their attempts to do them justice on screen - or, worse, just completely overlook the key themes associated with them.

Fingers crossed neither of those things happen.
