There were several films scheduled earlier for production before the Marvel Cinematic Universe but never happened such as Iron Man starring Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio as Spider-Man, and many more. Marvel movies like Avengers: Endgame and the upcoming Black Widow include various stars playing comic book heroes such as George Clooney, Tom Selleck, and the wife of David Bowie. However, all of these have not appeared in Marvel movies, but nearly they did. There were a lot of TV shows and films planned long before the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but they never happened. There were some rumors regarding Tom Cruise playing as a replacement for Iron Man in the upcoming film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. There is also a possibility that these alternate universes might cross over.
Here are some of the Marvel movies that never happened.
Black Widow and Daredevil
Black Widow is a character portrayed by Scarlett Johansson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She is now a deserving Avenger, and Black Widow is her upcoming movie this year. On the other hand, Daredevil is a Netflix show which was released in the year 2015. But a combined film named Black Widow and Daredevil was scheduled in 1975. At that time, Angie got married to David Bowie and bought the rights to both Black Widow and Daredevil. However, this project was not completed.
Doctor Strange
Benedict Cumberbatch is playing the role of Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Several previous attempts were made to release a film named Stephen Strange, however, it did not happen. Bob Gale wrote a script, and later it was set to be directed by Wes Craven, but it did not work at all.
Luke Cage
In the year 1980, the actor of Rocky III, Carl Weathers, was set to portray the role of Luke Cage, also known as Power Man but it also did not happen. Later, Luke Cage finally grabbed the opportunity to work in his series on Netflix, played by Mike Colter.
The Human Torch
The Human Torch is a character from the famous series, Fantastic Four. Chris Evans has played the role of Human Torch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Irwin Allen was an American film producer and director. He once owned the rights to the Human Torch. And Paul Newman was set to be the star in Allen’s next film portraying the role of Human Torch, but it also did not work.
Captain America
Charles Bronson, the actor of the film, Death Wish, directed by Michael Winner, was once proposed for the role of Captain America film. Michael Winner along with TV scriptwriters Stan Hey and Chap Hey wrote a script for a Captain America film, in which the Statue of Liberty was kidnapped, but Marvel rejected this script.
She-Hulk
In the year 1990, a film was proposed, She-Hulk in which the actress Brigitte Nielsen was signed to play the role of Jade Giantess. The director of the movie was Larry Cohen, but somehow this project also remained in the scripts.
Iron Man
Universal had the rights to the Iron Man movie since 1990, and after six years, Universal gave up making an Iron Man movie and sold their rights to Fox in 1996. The writer Jeff Vintar along with Stan Lee, wrote a new story for a new Iron Man movie starring Tom Cruise because he wanted to work in an Iron Man movie. Later, Cruise denied working in this film for some reason, and after the release of Robert Downey’s Iron Man, he told people in an interview that Robert is his favorite and no one could ever replace him as the Iron Man.
Black Panther
Wesley Snipes had been waiting for the role of Black Panther earlier in the year 1990. Snipes became excited to know about the idea of playing the role of T’Challa. Snipes thought it would be a great hit, but he was not able to pitch Black Panther as a superhero, and the plan was abandoned. The character of Black Panther was finally played by Chadwick Boseman in the film, Black Panther released in the year 2018.
After discussing some of the Marvel movies that never happened, we have concluded that these films had great potential and should have been released before the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the current MCU is already doing an excellent job.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has done a great job while assembling the squad for The Avengers in the year 2012.
But if Marvel has to recast the team Avengers in 2020 then how it could be managed by the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
However, Jeremy Renner – Hawkeye and Mark Ruffalo – The Hulk were a bit more known at the time when they joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Here we are going to discuss who could cast now to form the team Avengers according to the templates of the original stars in the film, The Avengers.Iron ManColin Farrell is one of the best replacements for Tony Stark according to the current time.
Likewise, Farrell has a similar face structure as that of Tony Stark and looks very identical to Stark; therefore, Farrell suits very well for the role of Tony Stark as per the current situation.Captain AmericaThe actor Chris Evans has played the role of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, and it is very difficult to imagine someone else playing the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America.
For now, two names can fill the space for Captain America, one is Garret Hedlund who has the same life carrier as that of Chris Evans, and the second one is Glen Powell.
However, Hedlund has more experience than Glen as he has worked already in Eragon or Tron: Legacy and also played a brilliant role in Mudbound.ThorAlexander Ludwig has enough potential to play the role of the God of Thunder – Thor.
The latest Marvel’s Avengers game from Crystal Dynamics might have revealed a new look of the iconic fictional character, which is, of course, played by Academy Award winner (Room) Brie Larson in Marvel Cinematic Universe.Marvel’s Avengers game has already introduced Kate Bishop into the mix, and the party has just started as characters like Spider-Man, Black Panther, Hawkeye, etc., are likely to be included in the future.
The inclusion of Black Panther would also mean an expansion of the world as the character will certainly come along with his obscure world of Wakanda (which would mean Wakanda missions).Another hero that is also likely to get involved (but she has not been confirmed though) is Captain Marvel.
She has also been mentioned in the campaign for the game as being present somewhere in the universe when A-Day happens.
We should thank @PlayAvenger and @AndresCaricart4.A generous Reddit user has revealed some weird things.
He has shown that whenever you click on the character Ms. Marvel in the game, the portrait of Captain Marvel comes up.
Because the same portrait is hanging on the wall of Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel.
New MCU Movies: The resounding success of The Mandalorian, Disney+ has kicked into high popularity, but still to know if the Marvel TV shows will have the same kind of success.
People with surprise said that it was an irrelevant question to be asked because; whatever Kevin Feige touches turns to gold.
However, there is nothing to bother off, weather people will watch the shows or not.
There is no doubt in it.
It is certain that people will watchBut the real question stands, if people really need to watch these shows to understand the movies?
