I for one always thought that Elba's talents would be wasted on a character like Heimdall that doesn't do much.

Which MCU character should Marvel recast him as?

Should he be recast or should Heimdall get a bigger presence in the MCU?

 

[Gamma Ra]

Cloak
Blue Marvel
Blade (as many have suggested)

 

[MarvelFan]

Brother Voodoo in Doctor Strange 2?

Brother Voodoo in Doctor Strange 2?

Brother Voodoo would be cool, but I think Idris wants to play a hero that gets his own franchise. It's possible Brother Voodoo could if Marvel made his powers, abilities and purpose distinctly different from Doctor Strange.

Should have held out for a role in Black Panther lol

If he thinks he's got the short end of the stick, he should spare a thought for Djimon Hounsou. Complete waste of a great actor. One of the few African actors in Hollywood and he doesn't have even a supporting role in the first Marvel African super hero movie.

Hope he can be the voice of Bast or something.

Now that is a role for Djimon Hounsou!

Wouldn't be the first time Marvel have re-used an actor. And unlike Idris, his role in Guardians was so small, he could return without confusing fans or the general audience.

He should reprise his role as Moreau from Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

That would have been awesome, but I think Chadwick Boseman owned the role in Civil War and will nail it in the Black Panther movie.

Djimon Hounsou was my first choice for BP many years ago when Marvel was first flirting with the idea for a BP movie. He should be given another role in the MCU as another alien or armored being sort of like how Paul Bettany went from the voice of Jarvis to Vision.

He should reprise his role as Moreau from Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

I think he wants a lead role this time around. A character that could lead to a franchise.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Give Moreau a franchise!

 

[Gamma Ra]

While I believe at some point Marvel Studios should look outside their lists of A and B characters for possible movie franchises, I doubt that they would use ideas and set ups from another studio like Columbia Pictures.

Potentially cast him as an older Cloak in the MCU, although there is a Cloak and Dagger tv show coming out.

 

[Gamma Ra]

I think he would nail Cloak too bad that Marvel Television is claiming the show.

I also think he would be a perfect Bishop... too bad Fox still owns the rights to the X-Men.

If they ever crossover tv and movie he could easily play an older cloak like the one in the Civil war comic.

 

[GingerNinja707]

Sorry for the double post, but they could also make him Patriot or even Goliath if they wanted?

 

[Panacea]

I think this is a smokescreen similar to Rooker in his Infinity War hat. I expect Heimdall to die.

I don't think the head of Marvel Studios and the head of Marvel Television are getting along now. Feige made a comment that the films and television would not crossover. Although the InHumans did mention Spider-Man.

I think this will be the case as well.

 

[DrCosmic]

They should have given Heimdall the role in the MCU that Uatu has in 616, since they don't have the rights to him.

I'm against this kind of recasting on principle, but if really pushed, I think Idris might be ideal for Moses Magnum. If he just has to be a hero, then yeah, lets pull Blue Marvel into the MCU, and then give *him* the role the Watcher usually has.

 

[Gamma Ra]

I'm not big on recasting either, but it just seems like such a waste to under use an actor of his calibre. Especially since he wants this time consuming role.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I would love to see him as Blade.

 

[LaughterLives]

I say just keep him in this role and give him the mantle of Thor after Thor dies in infinity Wars.

If I did recast him doh I'd go with: Gladiator, Blade, Tombstone, Kang the Conqueror, Namor or Black Knight.

Miles Morales' dad

 

[NealKenneth]

I don't think he deserves a bigger role. He's talked trash in interviews about filming these movies before and now he's complaining about not being big enough? Come on.

Idris says he was misinterpreted in the one interview that contained criticism, and I'd love for Marvel to keep him on post Heimdall. Adam Breshear would be a great fit.

Isn't the quintessential version of Cloak always been a teen? Idris is 45.

Cloak and Dagger are teen runaways. I can't see a version of a 40 something Cloak ever working.

I would be down for Bishop, despite enjoying Omar Sy. (Another actor criminally under used)

Interesting choices.
