Prospective role in the MCU: I feel like he'd be a good Nick Fury type leader — stern, but his heart is in the right place. Something akin to his House of Gucci character! 3 Already appeared — Anthony Hopkins Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Orion Pictures Oscar wins: Best Actor for The Silence of the Lambs in 1991 and Best Actor for The Father in 2020. Role in the MCU: Odin in Thor, Thor: The Dark World, and Thor: Ragnarok. 4 Should appear — Frances McDormand Jemal Countess/Searchlight Pictures / Via Getty Images Oscar wins: Best Actress for Fargo in 1997, Best Actress for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri in 2018, and Best Actress for Nomadland in 2021. Prospective role in the MCU: I mean, she has to be a villain, right? Someone high up in government with an insidious agenda that gets revealed at the height of the film. 5 Already appeared — Lupita Nyong o Fox Searchlight Pictures/Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Oscar win: Best Supporting Actress for 12 Years a Slave in 2014. Role in the MCU: Nakia in Black Panther and the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. 6 Should appear — Olivia Colman John Shearer/Fox Searchlight Pictures / Via Getty Images Oscar win: Best Actress for The Favourite in 2019. Prospective role in the MCU: I kind of want to see Liv as a villain, too! Maybe she could be France McDormand's equally evil sidekick. 7 Already appeared — Gwyneth Paltrow Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Miramax Films Oscar win: Best Actress for Shakespeare in Love in 1999. Role in the MCU: Pepper Potts in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Avengers, Iron Man 3, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. 8 Should appear — Morgan Freeman Amy Sussman/Warner Bros. Pictures / Via Getty Images Oscar win: Best Supporting Actor for Million Dollar Baby in 2004. Prospective role in the MCU: He's played it before, but I'd like to see Morgan as a Pennyworth-type character — caring yet formidable and full of wisdom! 9 Already appeared — Ben Kingsley Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Columbia Pictures Oscar win: Best Actor for Gandhi in 1983. Role in the MCU: Trevor Slattery/Mandarin in Iron Man 3, Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King, and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. 10 Should appear — Jeremy Irons Adela Loconte / WireImage/Warner Bros. / Via Getty Images Oscar win: Best Actor for Reversal of Fortune in 1990. Prospective role in the MCU: I kinda need him to bring that campy villainous Scar energy to the MCU, possibly in an alien warlord type of role à la Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser. 11 Already appeared — Angelina Jolie Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Columbia Pictures Oscar win: Best Supporting Actress for Girl, Interrupted in 2003. Role in the MCU: Thena in Eternals. 12 Should appear — Javier Bardem Juan Naharro Gimenez / WireImage/Miramax Films / Via Getty Images Oscar win: Best Supporting Actor for No Country for Old Men in 2008. Prospective role in the MCU: I mean, his Bond villain was iconic! However, I would kind of love to see Javier as a sexy, stay at home husband to some sort of badass woman. Basically like a gender swapped Clint and Laura Barton! 13 Already appeared — Jamie Foxx Sony Pictures Releasing/Universal Pictures Oscar win: Best Actor for Ray in 2005. Role in the MCU: Max Dillon/Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home. 14 Should appear — Whoopi Goldberg Steve Granitz / WireImage/Paramount Pictures / Via Getty Images Oscar win: Best Supporting Actress for Ghost in 1990. Prospective role in the MCU: She needs to run S.H.I.E.L.D. I mean, COME ON! 15 Already appeared — Cate Blanchett Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Miramax Films Oscar wins: Best Supporting Actress for The Aviator in 2005 and Best Actress for Blue Jasmine in 2014. Role in the MCU: Hela in Thor: Ragnarok. 16 Should appear — Jessica Lange Orion Pictures/John Lamparski / Via Getty Images Oscar wins: Best Supporting Actress for Tootsie in 1983 and Best Actress for Blue Sky in 1995. Prospective role in the MCU: Jessica's particular strength is playing fierce but damaged women, so why fix what ain't broken? Let's have her play the mum of an existing superhero, and their difficult mother-son relationship gets put under the microscope throughout the film. I'm expecting a Heath Ledger as The Joker type of performance here! 17 Already appeared — Tilda Swinton Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Warner Bros. Pictures Oscar win: Best Supporting Actress for Michael Clayton in 2007. Role in the MCU: The Ancient One in Doctor Strange, Avengers: Endgame, and What If...?. 18 Should appear — Meryl Streep Jason LaVeris / FilmMagic/20th Century Fox / Via Getty Images Oscar wins: Best Supporting Actress for Kramer vs. Kramer in 1980, Best Actress for Sophie's Choice in 1983, and Best Actress for The Iron Lady in 2012. Prospective role in the MCU: I'm tempted to say she should basically play her character from Don't Look Up — a corrupt politician with no allegiance to anyone but herself. Not an out-of-place role for an MCU movie, right?
