Marvel's Avengers: 10 Heroes The Game MUST Include

Crystal Dynamics already promised an expanding roster, but here's who they should include first...

Marvel's Avengers might have debuted to a somewhat divided response, but there's no denying it possesses buttloads of promise.

The idea of assembling your own Avengers (sans weirdly designed Captain America) is a proven concept that's sure to resonate with fans, and while Crystal Dynamics have only shown off six members so far - those being Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, Hulk and Hank Pym - there's still plenty of scope for further additions down the line.

Indeed, the studio confirmed as much after the first trailer. If you managed to make out their comments over all the cheering and wooping in the audience, you'll have heard the announcement that dozens more heroes and locations will make their way into the game post-launch for free. That's on top of all the characters likely to be in the main story, with Pym the first member to appear outside of the initial group.

But who, out of Marvel's almost limitless roster, should join the Avengers first? There are plenty of names that will spring to mind, but a certain few that, were they not to appear, would definitely be considered as having been overlooked.

Earth's Mightiest Heroes are so much more than the six on display in that first trailer. Here's who Crystal should introduce to make things truly interesting.

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.
