10 MCU Characters That HAVE To Show Up On Disney+
9. Harley Keener - Ironheart
There was a lot of noise and speculation when Thaddeus Ross returned to the MCU in Civil War after eight years, and there was a similar situation when Harley Keener returned for Tony Stark's funeral a full six years after he appeared in Iron Man 3.
Even though character crossovers are to be expected at this point in the MCU, this was still a surprise. Keener hadn't been so much as mentioned during his absence, and why else would Marvel make the decision to bring him back for one scene in Endgame if they didn't have plans to utilise him further down the line?
Disney+'s Ironheart could be the perfect time to give Harley a much bigger role moving forward. The series will be based around Riri Williams and her Iron Man-esque suit, but, as someone who grew relatively close to the original Iron Man, Keener could join the series to be a tie between the two characters.
He could even suit up as Iron Lad as some have suggested could happen, joining Riri and potentially Kate Bishop and Cassie Lang in a Young Avengers team-up some time in the future.
