1. Taskmaster: Unleashing the Mercenary Wit
Taskmaster, the mimicry expert from Black Widow, underwent a significant transformation in the MCU. While Antonia Dreykov's portrayal added a fresh twist, it left out Taskmaster's signature sardonic humor and mercenary charm. The upcoming Thunderbolts series offers a glimmer of hope for Taskmaster to reclaim the personality that defines the character.

Taskmaster's pivot from Tony Masters to Antonia Dreykov introduced a new dynamic, but fans yearn for the return of the witty and enigmatic mercenary. With the multiverse expanding, Taskmaster's journey holds the promise of rediscovering the essence that fans adore.

2. Quicksilver: A Swift Resurgence
Quicksilver's abrupt exit in Avengers: Age of Ultron left fans craving more of the speedster's presence. While his sacrifice added emotional depth, it cut short the exploration of his character. The potential for Quicksilver's return, especially with the X-Men integration into the MCU, offers hope for a revitalized storyline.

In the realm of possibilities where mutants and heroes collide, Quicksilver's resurrection could inject new energy into the narrative. With Evan Peters' portrayal in the X-Men series as a reference point, the MCU has a chance to reinvigorate Quicksilver's arc.

3. Iron Fist: Mastering the Fight Choreography
Iron Fist's journey in the Defenders Saga faced mixed reviews, particularly due to the limited scope for showcasing his martial arts prowess. Finn Jones' portrayal of Danny Rand hinted at the character's potential, yet the series struggled to do justice to the Iron Fist legacy.

With the resurgence of Daredevil and Kingpin in the MCU, the time is ripe for Iron Fist's redemption. A renewed focus on intricate fight choreography and a deeper exploration of Danny Rand's character could elevate Iron Fist to the stature he deserves.
