For many Marvel fans, the Marvel Cinematic Universe includes various superheroes who take center stage in all the Marvel movies. However, there are several supporting characters who have also played tremendous roles in the MCU. Winter Soldier or Falcon would be a perfect sidekick for Captain America fans. For fans of Iron Man, War Machine would be an excellent sidekick. The Marvel Cinematic Universe also includes various characters outside of the big screen like Daredevil, Iron Fist, and more. In this article, we have listed some of the best Marvel characters who have played wonderful supporting roles in the MCU.
Black Panther (Shuri)
Shuri is the younger sister of T’Challa and is all set to play a significant role in the upcoming MCU movies. She is the main character behind the events of Wakanda. Tony Stark is the first Marvel character who comes to mind when we talk about technology. However, Wakanda is years ahead of the capability of Stark Enterprise. Even though T’Challa gets all the credit, It is Shuri who has been the backbone of Black Panther and Wakanda. Shuri and T’Challa/Black Panther share a much stronger bond as compared to other sidekicks because they are siblings. Shuri has shown to be a brave and intelligent character who has been seen in various battle fighting along with other superheroes.
Ant-Man (The Wasp)
The famous actor Paul Rudd is portraying the character of Scott Lang/Ant-Man, and Evangeline Lilly portrays the character of Hope van Dyne/Wasp in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hope plays a wonderful role as a supporting character in the MCU. Many fans wondered if Hope was the leader, and Scott is the sidekick. This is because Scott learns various fighting skills from Hope in the movies. Their pair can be considered as a perfect match and exemplify the true definition of teamwork. The Wasp keeps Scott under control when he learns new powers.
Iron Man (War Machine)
James “Rhodey” Rhodes/War Machine has shown to be Tony Stark’s military friend and one of the most trustable persons in the MCU. We can consider War Machine as one of the best sidekicks because he has been by Iron Man’s side in most of the Marvel movies. Don Cheadle replaced Terrance Howard and played the remarkable role of James “Rhodey” Rhodes/War Machine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, there was a scuffle between Iron Man and War Machine in the beginning. Also, Rhodey has the best knowledge of Iron Man’s armor. According to the information, War Machine might replace Iron Man in future MCU movies after the events of Avengers: Endgame.
Captain America (Falcon)
Sam Wilson/Falcon is another Marvel character who has played an excellent role as a supporting character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sam is a friend of Steve Rogers/Captain America and one of the most trusted partners in the MCU. Falcon is one of the fan-favorite characters and armed with the ability to fly. He is also a very loyal and another friend of Captain America, who has served the Army with him. Falcon can be considered as the mantle of Captain America.
Iron Man (Spider-Man)
It might be very difficult to consider Spider-Man as a sidekick, but it seems true in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Iron Man already had War Machine, but after the film Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man was also added to the list of Iron Man’s supporting characters. Even though there have been various versions of Spider-Man over the years, the most impactful version of Spider-Man has been depicted in the MCU. Peter Parker considers Tony Stark as his mentor and idol in the MCU movies because he was the one who introduced him to the team Avengers.
After discussing some of the best Sidekicks of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we have concluded that even though the center stage has been taken by various superheroes in the MCU, all of the above-discussed Marvel characters have played equally wonderful roles in the MCU and might be considered for their own solo movies in the upcoming new phase of the MCU.
