The Marvel Cinematic Universe is undoubtedly the most long running film series in history.  Not only does it include multiple movies but also various series under its name: Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, etc.  Marvel Comics has definitely created some great characters and the movies have definitely brought those characters to life.  This here is a list of my top fifteen favorite characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  This post will not include any characters from the tv shows and will include main cast, supporting cast, superheroes, and supervillains.

15. Thanos

Thanos is the big bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  He’s been in the background manipulating much of the events surrounding the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy.  He makes his actual debut to the characters in Avengers: Infinity War.  Not only is he a beast on the battlefield but he’s got depth and charisma whereas many villains of the series don’t.
