9 Marvel Superheroes Who Desperately Deserve Their Own Netflix Series

1. Agent 13/Sharon Carter

Who They Are: Unlike most of the characters featured on this list, audiences have actually already been introduced to Sharon Carter, having received her first live-action debut in 2014€™s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This fact alone greatly increases Agent 13€™s chances of receiving some sort of spin-off, but to quote Iron Man, whatever form that takes I€™m game.

Emily VanCamp already surprised everyone with her brief appearance in the MCU, and a series of her own would really help flesh out what is to many at this point a very ambiguous character. Apart from the obvious relation to Peggy Carter (herself the subject of a widely admired TV series at the moment) and the fact that Agent 13 is clearly one of SHIELD€™s best and brightest, we barely know anything about this Sharon. Odds are that she'€™ll receive some form of exploration in Civil War, but still, a Netflix show really wouldn'€™t go amiss.

Why They Deserve A Series: Speaking of Civil War, the Russo bros.€™ second feature-length film is bound to upset the status-quo of the MCU in a big way, and any show dealing with that fallout is guaranteed to be a massive hit. It€™'s a conflict we'€™ll witness through a superhero lens at first, but providing that human element in a post-registration act universe would make for a surefire success. Indeed, given Carter€™s widely acknowledged feelings for her auntie€™s former flame, it could make for an emotionally intense experience too.

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.
