Jessica McKay

Before Jessica McKay (then Billie Kay) was released from the WWE, fans adored her. Watching her trying to be on everyone’s team and show her résumé was a bright spot of SmackDown. Just when she was gaining steam, however, she was unfortunately let go in a move that did not make fans happy. Now, she’s Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champion with her partner and bestie Cassie Lee and doing big things in her life.

There isn’t a character that jumps into this writer’s mind. Nevertheless, her personality screams Marvel Cinematic Universe. She would be great working alongside Jennifer Walters or a serious and surly character like Jessica Jones.

Big Show

The Big Show’s size puts him in a weird place. He could play someone that makes the hero look fantastic. Unfortunately, it limits who he can play. Previously, this writer wrote a piece on him playing the Wrecker. His personality and 7 feet over 300 pound frame makes him perfect for that character. After thinking about it more, though, it’s not the only villain he could play.

Put a red helmet on the Big Show and he could run through the X-Men as the Juggernaut. Give him a striped red and white shirt could fight the Punisher as the Russian -a character that puts a beating on Frank Castle like few people ever have.

If a major character doesn’t work, he could be an impressive henchman that takes Batman to the limit. Although, that wouldn’t necessarily highlight his comedic side – something that would be a waste to not utilize.
