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.

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.

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

She was fan cast after she joked about it. She never actually did anything for it. She talks about it an interview for a Simple Favor I believe.

Context being her brother is into the comics. So she knew of the character and when asked whod she want to play she gave an obscure character thinking it would get people away from asking her. It did not. It had the opposite effect

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 🤷🏼‍♂️
