The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s films and series are considered a mainstay in Hollywood with MCU fans showering their love and appreciation for each venture produced by Marvel Studios featuring popular characters like Captain America, Iron Man, Spiderman, and many more. There are many members of the WWE Universe who enjoy MCU’s movies.
Most recently, Marvel came up with its brand new series titled ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ starring Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk alongside Jameela Jamil, Mark Ruffalo, and Ginger Gonzaga in the primary cast.
The newest MCU series was graced with a touch of WWE at its Premiere with WWE Superstars Sasha Banks and Naomi also in attendance being spotted on the red carpet donning green and black outfits as a homage to the popular Hulk character. Both Superstars are yet to break the silence on their WWE Walkout back in May 2022.
Although no one can match up to the magnitude of popular MCU characters played by some of the finest actors in the world like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Tom Holland, to answer an interesting hypothetical situation that could become an episode on Marvel’s popular series ‘WHAT IF’ in regards to WWE, here are 5 popular MCU characters that can be played by WWE Superstars:
1. Ricochet as Spider-Man

A well-befitting choice to play your friendly neighborhood Spiderman from the WWE roster could be The One and Only Ricochet. With his high flying skills, flexibility, and charisma along with traits of a certain comic angle portrayed by the Web-Slinger, Ricochet could surely match up to the standards set by current Spider-Man actor Tom Holland.
Moreover, Shelton Benjamin once compared Richochet to the Wall crawler during an interview with Sportskeeda and the high-flying Superstar himself has been spotted wearing Superhero inspired ring gear including that of Spider-Man.
2. Sasha Banks as Black Widow

The Legit Boss Sasha Banks could very well step inside the shoes of one of the most talented spies and assassins in the MCU in Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow portrayed by Scarlett Johansson.
Her performance in ‘The Mandalorian’ as Koska Reeves displayed her incredible action and acting talent, combined with her beauty and physical capabilities would her the perfect ‘Black Widow’ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

A true representative of his country displayed through his ancestral sword and costume combined with his impressive outlook and strength (similar to Cap’s shield, costume, and overall personality) makes Drew McIntyre a great choice to play Captain America played by Chris Evans in the MCU films.

If there is any WWE Superstar to portray the magnitude of a Billionaire playboy, Philanthropist, and family man while donning the famous Iron Man persona at the same time, the man to be ‘Acknowledged’ as Iron Man has to be The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.
The Head of The Table’s entire aura captivates the entire WWE universe much like Iron Man makes him a worthy candidate to essay the popular MCU role onscreen, originally by Robert Downey Jr.
