5. Lucy Liu

Remember Lucy Liu from Kill Bill Volume 1?  Picture her giving that same kind of speech she gave after she cut that guy’s head off. That’s why she makes this list.

Lucy Liu commands respect. In Ally McBeal, she played a very mean and sometimes ruthless woman. In Kill Bill, she played a powerful leader who didn’t stand for any intolerance.

Her power would come from her evolution from calm to angry warlord in a matter of seconds. It would be cool to see MCU find a way to pay homage to the scene where she decapitated a guy. Maybe with an alien axe instead of a sword? After all, Thor did it to Thanos.

Lena Headey, MCU, Game of Thrones

4. Lena Headey

She’s already been a queen that viewers both loved and hated at once. Why not do it again? Lena Headey wasn’t just a terrifying and unforgiving leader in Game of Thrones, she was also a crime lord in the 2012’s Dredd – someone that even the law hesitated to go after.

After playing an iconic queen in Game of Thrones, she could definitely do it all again in the MCU. Lena Headey could play the villain we hate or one we relate to. She could deliver a speech about how Earth is being ruined by humans and how the Skrull way is their only hope.

Depending on how true it is could determine whether or not she’s hated or loved. Maybe the character survived Thanos’ snap and saw how peaceful things were without half the population. Who knows?
