Who were the best Marvel Studios characters of 2022? What made them so great? Find out right here.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has had another successful year. Not just in box office numbers and ratings – they’re used to that – but in managing to do something bold. Instead of giving viewers the same thing they’re used to seeing, Marvel Studios projects have gotten creative. This year we’ve seen horror specials, courtroom dramas (that are really comedies), and a show that increased the representation within the MCU in Ms. Marvel.
A lot of that can be attributed to the characters. Of course, there are going to be the typical superheroes and villains. That’s a standard that will always exist in certain comic book projects. However, a lot of them changed the standard and became more than just the comic characters from the source material. They’re their own entities. Some fans of the original stories may be opposed to it, but it’s not a bad thing. The MCU is just an alternate reality. Once that’s embraced, the projects are easier to enjoy.
Coming up, this writer will give you the 20 best Marvel Studios characters of 2022. Things taken into account are the impact on the project, how the actor performed the role and their lasting effect on the MCU as a whole. In this list, you’ll even see some supporting characters ranked higher than the main characters. This shows that the lead isn’t always the best or most important. Sometimes it’s the other characters that keep the show or movie together.
