Sam Wilson, Steve Rogers and Talos in the Marvel cinematic Universe
Summary Not every actor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ended up playing their preferred role, and many have since revealed which character they had always dreamed of playing. The MCU boasts an impressive and star-studded cast that has brought beloved Marvel heroes to life for decades, often fulfilling Marvel readers’ dreams of seeing their favorite superhero brought to life. However, some central MCU cast members have explicitly noted that their dream was to play a different character.
Glover's connection to the Spider-Man universe continued when he was cast as Aaron Davis, Miles Morales's uncle, in Spider-Man: Homecoming. In the film, Davis hints at his nephew’s existence, a nod to Miles Morales’s potential future appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This casting choice delighted audiences, acknowledging Glover's initial campaign and his enduring association with the beloved character.
Although she did not become a member of the X-Men, Klementieff’s dream of acting in a Marvel movie certainly did come true. Klementieff's performance of Mantis was captivating and offered a thrilling and dynamic update on the classic Marvel Comics character. While Klementieff would have flourished as one of Marvel’s mutants, her Mantis was staggeringly entrancing, endearing audiences with her gentle yet formidable presence.
However, Snipes’ ambition to bring a black superhero to the big screen did not go unfulfilled. In 1998, he was cast as Blade, Marvel's half-vampire hero. Blade became one of the most influential comic book movies ever, spawning two sequels and establishing several essential superhero movie tropes. While the MCU is rebooting the character, Wesley Snipe’s performance as Blade was so quintessential that Snipe’s Blade is rumored to be joining the MCU as an older variant of the character.

In an interview with Inverse, Mackie discussed how fervently he petitioned Marvel to produce a Black Panther movie, with him in the lead role.
Director Sam Raimi Release Date May 6, 2022 Runtime 126 minutes 3 Angela Bassett - Queen Ramonda Who She Wanted To Play: Storm Close In the 1980s, acclaimed actress Angela Bassett was a top contender to play Storm in a planned X-Men movie by director James Cameron. This project, however, was ultimately shelved.
