The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has delivered some of the most memorable heroes and villains in film history. With the rise of streaming platforms like Disney+, several Marvel characters have already been given a chance to shine in their own shows — Loki, WandaVision, and Ms. Marvel being prime examples.
However, there are still many characters who haven’t yet had their solo spotlight — and definitely deserve one. Let’s explore 10 MCU characters who should get their own TV show next, based on fan demand, story potential, and character depth.
1. Shuri (Black Panther Franchise)
Shuri, the genius tech prodigy of Wakanda, has already proven herself as one of the smartest minds in the MCU. A solo series could explore her leadership as Queen, her scientific innovations, and how she continues T’Challa’s legacy. It could blend science, politics, and African culture — much like Black Panther, but on a more intimate level.
2. Wong (Doctor Strange Franchise)
Wong has quietly become one of the MCU’s most beloved supporting characters — serving as Sorcerer Supreme and popping up across multiple Marvel titles. A Wong-centric series could follow his magical adventures, training young sorcerers, and dealing with mystical threats between major MCU events.
3. Valkyrie (Thor Franchise)
Valkyrie’s charisma and leadership of New Asgard make her a strong candidate for her own show. A spin-off could explore how she manages politics, war, and intergalactic diplomacy, while possibly diving deeper into LGBTQ+ representation within the MCU.
4. Nick Fury (Expanded Spy Universe)
While Secret Invasion touched on Fury’s espionage background, fans still crave a gritty spy thriller set in his prime S.H.I.E.L.D. days. A younger Nick Fury series — showcasing his early missions and alliances — would appeal to both action lovers and long-time Marvel fans.
5. Peggy Carter (Alternate Universe Edition)
Although Agent Carter had a short run, a multiverse reboot could bring Hayley Atwell back as Captain Carter — the version from What If…? and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The mix of World War II aesthetics and super-soldier heroics could be a massive hit on streaming.

6. Hela (Thor: Ragnarok)
Cate Blanchett’s Hela remains one of Marvel’s most stylish and powerful villains. A prequel series exploring her rise as Odin’s daughter, her conquest of realms, and eventual downfall would add dark fantasy depth to the MCU’s cosmic lore.
7. Okoye (Black Panther Franchise)
Okoye, the fierce general of the Dora Milaje, deserves her own high-stakes action series. A show following her missions outside Wakanda or exploring her role in rebuilding the nation could highlight female strength, loyalty, and cultural pride.
8. Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff)
After the emotional rollercoaster of WandaVision, fans still want closure for Wanda Maximoff. A sequel series could explore her redemption arc, where she learns to balance her immense power with humanity. The multiverse still has more stories for Wanda to tell.
9. Moon Knight (Rebooted Continuation)
Though Moon Knight had one season, fans were left with unanswered questions. A continuation could dive deeper into Marc Spector’s multiple identities and supernatural mythology. The show’s psychological and horror-driven tone deserves more exploration.
10. Yelena Belova (Black Widow Franchise)
Florence Pugh’s Yelena stole every scene she was in. A Black Widow spin-off series focusing on her solo missions — with her trademark humor and emotional complexity — could blend espionage and heart. It would be a perfect follow-up to Hawkeye.
The MCU’s storytelling potential is far from over. With dozens of fascinating heroes and villains left unexplored, Marvel could easily expand its universe with new and compelling TV shows. Characters like Shuri, Valkyrie, and Wong could redefine what it means to be a hero on screen — proving that the MCU’s future lies not just in theaters, but also in the comfort of our homes.
