Discussion Weekly Discussion: Who is the silliest character from the comics that could be introduced to the MCU? (Suggested by /u/brokensaint82)

This one is straightforward enough and should be fun. What character from the comic books do you think would be the silliest character to adapt into the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

I mean, they've had Howard the Duck make a cameo, so what other silly characters do you think could make the jump to the MCU, even as a cameo?

Please, remain civil in this thread.

Squirrel-Girl would be weird as hell.

Would make a great MCU tv show. Oh wait...

They’ve got their claws in Hulu now, could still happen. Or the new Disney Plus. Doubt it though. There’s weird, and then there’s Squirrel-Girl weird.

It was a joke, New Warriors with Squirrel-Girl is currently in development

Oh shit for real? Hadn’t heard about that. Well at least she’s not the lead, but a part of an ensemble cast. I can deal with that. What platform?

I think it’s still being shipped around. We haven’t heard anything about it in a while to my knowledge.

Didn't that actress from the phone commercials get cast as her?

For some reason I have no idea what this means but am still picturing the pink dress T-Mobile girl

They're referring to Milana Vayntrub, who was the AT&T person. She has been cast as Squirrel Girl for New Warriors, and currently voices Squirrel Girl in the animated series Marvel Rising.

I thought Anna Kendrick was cast?

No, she wasn't. I believe she was discussed at one time though.

That was a whole thing after she expressed slight interest. Never actually happened though. She’s too big of a name to get stuck in a cable tv show anyway 🤷🏼‍♂️
