The Marvel Cinematic Universe is full of huge characters who have become extremely popular on the big screen; Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, Loki, Star-Lord and Thor, for a few examples.

However, some of the supporting characters have come across pretty well too; Phil Coulson, Peggy Carter, Nick Fury, Rhomann Dey, Arnim Zola and Erik Selvig, for instance (the first two, for example, both got a television series of their own).

With that in mind, it isn’t just the major new characters that we’re looking forward to seeing in future movies. The likes of Spider-Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Surtur, Dormammu and Captain Marvel are all exciting prospects, but the supporting characters in the upcoming movies are very intriguing as well.

So, without mentioning any major heroes or major villains, here are ten characters – supporting characters – that we’re looking forward to seeing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe…

Aunt May

Aunt May AKA May Parker essentially acts as the adoptive mother of Peter Parker AKA Spider-Man. Along with her husband – the late Ben Parker – they brought Peter up after his parents went missing when he was a young boy.

To date, she has been played by two different actresses in previous Spider-Man movie franchises – those being Rosemary Harris and Sally Field. This time around, however, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she will be portrayed by the much younger Marisa Tomei – star of movies like My Cousin Vinny.

It will be really interesting to see a totally different version of the character on film. Tomei’s younger May will, of course, work with Tom Holland’s much younger Peter, and he first appearance is set to be in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War.
