33 actors we need to see in major comic book movies and TV shows
By Mark Lynch
16. Kate McKinnon
Kate McKinnon is known as a comedic performer and people sometimes underestimate the comedians. If she ever decided to venture out into a serious role, this writer believes she would shock the world. That’s what leads me to believe she would absolutely rock as Morgan le Fay.
Sure, Morgan le Fay appeared in Marvel’s Runaways. That doesn’t mean we can’t see her again but different. Le Fay could change her look and fool the world. She’s a powerful, genius, and ruthless sorceress that took out The Sentry.
Picture Kate McKinnon going crazy with spells and unleashing monsters on the world. No silliness. Just unleashed fury. That’s worth the price of admission all on it’s own. Plus, Morgan le Fay isn’t strictly a team antagonist. She can be a villain for Thor, Doctor Strange, or Wanda Maximoff. Kate McKinnon vs Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch alone would bring viewers from all over the world.

15. LaKeith Stanfield
LaKeith Stanfield has a very precise way of talking and that would serve an evil scientist role very well. At first, this writer thought Nathaniel Essex. Stanfield would be perfect at it and that would be even clearer after seeing him in The Harder They Fall on Netflix. However, the good thing is Nathaniel Essex isn’t the only crazy scientist in comic books.
If the X-Men ever did the Age of Apocalypse, LaKeith Stanfield would flourish as that universe’s Hank McCoy a.k.a. Dark Beast. Dark Beast is the only person who’s more sadistic than Nathaniel Essex. What’s worse is he justifies it in some of the sickest ways possible. Plus, we’d get to see LaKeith Stanfield leap around and fight as Beast.
