Top 5 Characters Marvel Should Bring Back For Avengers 2

---------------------WARNING: SOME SPOILERS AHEAD REGAURDING THE MCU----------------

Marvel Comics has been bringing excitement and joy from their vibrant colored and action pack pages for all the way back to 1933, although the it was called Timely Publications. But it eventually dawned it's "Marvel-ous" name (see what I did there?) and has changed the face of not only comic books, but pop-culture itself. So when Marvel decided to start making films based on their characters, the world was in for yet another sensation. Since Marvel Films (now known as Marvel Studios) began making films in 1993 (yes, their were films made prior, but not with affiliation to Marvel Films the production company) we've been both delighted and thrilled while terrified and on the edge of our seats with anticipation by the silver screen depiction of our favorite heroes (and villains). But the greatest decision Marvel has made (in my humble opinion) was to connect a good portion of the films together using The Avenger's Initiative and the several "Phases" that ties films to their respective Avenger's Film. We've been through Phase One with Iron-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron-Man 2, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger, and the critically Acclaimed Marvel's The Avenger's capping things off.  Now, with the near completion of Phase 2, we have Iron-Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and most previously Guardians of the Galaxy (note that also ABC's Marvel's Agents of Shield television series has also been intricate in Phase 2 and has been affected, and also effected, Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier). We are now all very impatiently waiting for Avenger's Age of Ultron. These films leading up to Age of Ultron has introduced us to many wonderful (and some villainous) characters, but much to my surprise, not all of them are re-occurring (or at least not yet anyways).  This post is a list that I've compiled regarding that very issue. So please enjoy my latest post:

The Top 5 Characters Marvel Should Bring Back For Avengers 2

[Please note that this is a list of non-confirmed reoccurring characters according to IMDB. None of these characters should be occurring (hence the title), however Marvel could always surprise us, so this is not meant to be a spoiler. If it turns out to be, I apologize (not really, it'd be pretty sweet!).]

5) Johann Schmidt/ Red Skull- Red Skull is  a major baddy for the Captain of the U. S. of A., and was the main villain in the first Capt. America movie (and rightly so). However, in the second movie he was absent. Yes, HYDRA was still active (I warned you, spoilers), and it was a fantastic film, but I still say that Red Skull should've been present. He never died, the Tesseract just sort of dissolves him. I think they should definitely work that in the new Avengers Film. Ultron and Red Skull team up would be insane. And if nothing else, Red Skull could plead with Ultron for them to join forces and then Ultron annihilate him (sure it'd be a quick scene, but it would be amazing). But with Hydra in the spotlight after the events of Capt. America 2, it seems like a prime time for the Red Skull to rise up.

4) Sam Wilson/Falcon- The Captain's trusty side-kick Falcon finally dawned our screens in the second Captain America Movie. Sam Wilson was a fantastic addition to the MCU, and the thing is he wasn't the typical sidekick either. He would definitely be a welcome addition the Avenger's Line-Up. Can you really have enough team members when your facing a massive army of androids??? Also, with only Iron-Man having the ability of flight, they could use more eyes in the sky. Sam has the military experience, and the team-playing attitude. I honestly think Sam would follow Cap into any war, no matter how out there. At least it isn't another Alien Army.

3) Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier- Bucky's Back! The Winter Soldier blew up our screens in Captain America's second film (I know I've done a lot about Captain America's films, forgive me)! Yes it was a fairly obvious choice on what route to take after the first movie as far as plot-lines, but never-the-less it was still executed in a way that blew audiences away! Sebastian Stan, while not my first choice, did an excellent Winter Soldier, and with such success, it's almost baffling that he isn't confirmed for the Avenger's Sequel. He could swing either way, as far as being friend or foe, from how Captain America 2 ended, and it would be so interesting seeing him deal with the rest of the MCU. Would he join the Avenger's Team and take on Ultron's Army? Would he join his robotic brethren? Would he take over HYDRA and continue his mission? The possibilities are endless!

2) Loki- Now this is just insane!?! Why is Loki not confirmed for the next Avenger's??? He's a crowd favorite, even if he is a ruthless and psychotic dictator! Loki has been intricate within the films, and I kind of have to think that Marvel is going to surprise us, but I have no idea how and the suspense is killing me.  Surely he would be an asset to Ultron's Team (which is consisted of his army as well as[If I understand it correctly] Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver). Or perhaps he would see Ultron as a threat and offer some sort of double-crossing truce to our heroes. Who knows?? One thing is for certain, he is burdened with glorious purpose in the MCU.

& finally

1) Phil Coulson- Agent Phillip Coulson has been busy running around with Fitz-Simmons and the gang on ABC's Agent's of Shield lately, but has also been affected by all of the major films in Phase 2 and has been a majorly significant role in Phase One. Phil helped unite the Avenger's against Loki, and it seemingly cost him his life. He's probably my favorite character in the current connected MCU, and it will absolutely leave me speechless (and probably a little fumed) if he doesn't make an appearance in the Avenger's Sequel. There really isn't any reason for he, and his team, to not show up working with Fury and Maria Hill. But Marvel, as stated, has been known to surprise us, so we'll just have to see what happens.

Rest assured that this was a difficult list, because there are so many characters that I want to see it's not even funny, so expect another list soon of 5 more characters that should show up. For now, what do you think? Is there anyone you think we should see? Anyone you disagree with? Let me know in the comments below. Until next time, this has been Geekery!
