The synergy between Marvel Comics and Marvel Cinematic Universe is even more obvious. Many things from the comics have changed to attend the MCU, bringing fresh perspective to some characters. However, fans hope to see the comics adapted by the movies and TV shows, not vice versa. After all, there are still tons of great Marvel storylines from the comics that would make great television.

From comics that would make a great animated show a la What If...? to series that could become the missing link between the present and the future of the MCU, these stories are great options to become future adaptations by Marvel Studios. Hopefully, Disney will consider them for Phase Six and beyond.

Lockjaw & The Pet Avengers is a four-issue series focusing on the most iconic animals in the Marvel Universe: Lockjaw, Throg, Lockheed, Redwing, Devil Dinosaur, Zabu, Ms. Lion, and Hairball. Like their owners, these heroic creatures fight the good fight. Particularly, in this series, they join forces to recover the Infinity Gems.

The MCU already has a fair share of pets, like Ant-Thony, Lucky the Pizza Dog, and Goose. Why not make them the stars of their own show? An animated series following these characters – plus some others that deserve to debut, like Jeff the Landshark and Lockheed – is the perfect idea for a family-friendly, chill, adorable show among all the chaotic multiverse adventures in the MCU. This series would also be a great excuse to introduce D-Dog, a powerless but brave stray dog with one of the saddest storylines in Marvel Comics during Marvel Unleashed – another great pets-centered comic.

Inspired by their newest video game, Marvel Rivals, Marvel has released Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic. This series has only three issues so far, but it's already a fan favorite. It follows two teams of Marvel heroes fighting each other after a time rift messes with reality, damaging the Web of Life and Destiny.

Marvel Rivals is all the rage right now, and Marvel Studios should consider capitalizing on the game’s outstanding success. The current Infinity Comic offers a thrilling story full of interesting plotlines, and one of its best things is an amazing character re-design for most of these Marvel heroes. Of course, to keep this great aesthetic, it would need to be an animated show like What If…? Bonus points if Marvel Studios brings the video game voice actors, as they have done an incredible job with their characters.

Inspired by Koushun Takami's Battle Royale, Avengers Arena takes sixteen teenage superheroes and throws them into Murderworld. Here, the supervillain known as Arcade pushes them to kill each other until only one of them is left -- just for the sick pleasure of having their lives in his hands.

Battle royales have been all the rage in recent years, so an Avengers Arena adaptation would hype the fandom immediately. It could feature epic moments and even new characters and work as a ground-setting project to turn Arcade into a more prominent villain. This character, created in 1978 by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, has a lot of potential to become a universal threat but has been widely ignored by Marvel Studios until now.

Originally, Marvel Team-Up always featured Spider-Man on a duo adventure with another Marvel superhero. Eventually, it started including other heroes for interesting duos, often including obscure characters who weren't as popular so fans could get to know them. The series ran for 26 years, from 1972 to 1998, without stopping, then two more volumes followed in the 2000s. It even featured Mark Grayson from Invincible.

With dozens of different characters, the MCU has a big problem: some of the most iconic heroes in this universe don’t even know each other. Funnily enough, every fan would love to see Bucky and Valkyrie take some villains down together or Shuri and Peter Parker join their genius-level intellects to solve a problem. A Marvel Team-Up series is the perfect way to include some great dynamic but uncommon duos in non-commital, short adventures that could expand on the MCU’s world, rounding it up a bit more as comic books do.

Thor: Vikings follows the God of Thunder in a bloody battle against Lord Harald Jaekelson, a cruel Viking from 1000 AD who leads a swarm of Viking zombies. The Marvel MAX comic follows the fight that ensues when this gang invades New York. Thor will have to ally with the Avengers to stop them from turning the city into a deserted land.

Although the first two Thor films were a bit more serious, Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder boasted Taika Waititi and Chris Hemsworth’s knack for comedy. Now, fans want to see a more solemn take on the God of Thunder. Thor: Vikings is the perfect choice. This comic series is one of the darkest takes on this character, so it will greatly contrast with the third and fourth films. Plus, since it’s a TV show, it could be a non-canon story about the God of Thunder.

After a powerful magical threat is let loose by mistake, Doctor Strange recruits Jennifer Kale, Satana Hellstrom, and Topaz, three powerful witches, to stop it. The three women have different personalities and power sets, but they make a great team against mystical villains.

The end of Agatha All Along left some great plot hooks for following MCU projects. Besides the obvious one -- Billy's journey to find Tommy --, the series shows Jennifer Kale, free from the Witches' Road and finally able to channel her powers again. It would be great to know what will happen to her. A Witches-inspired show following her and other Marvel witches would be amazing. Fans loved the character; everyone wants more of Sasheer Zamata in the MCU. Besides, a show surrounding her could help expand on the MCU's witch lore even more than Agatha All Along did.

Widowmaker is an exhilarating political thriller starring Hawkeye and Black Widow, two beloved heroes and a very established duo in the MCU. It follows them as they investigate a mass murder in the Red Room that leads them to a group known as the Dark Ocean Society, led by the new Ronin. They are joined by Mockingbird and Dominic Fortune, who are just as connected to the situation as Hawkeye and Black Widow.

Since Hawkeye has now retired and Black Widow died during Avengers: Endgame, it would be difficult to bring Clint and Natasha back for an adventure – unless it’s through a prequel. However, there’s a simpler solution to this. The MCU already has a new Black Widow/Hawkeye duo with amazing chemistry with Florence Pugh and Hailee Steinfeld. A Widowmaker's adaptation would be a great first official team-up for Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop -- even if it's just temporal. After all, both heroines have their own teams now, with Yelena joining the Thunderbolts and Kate teaming up with Kamala to potentially create the Young Avengers.

Following an attack on Coles Academic High School that leaves Kamala Khan comatose, Senator Patrick outlaws underage superheroes and creates Child Hero Reconnaissance And Disruption Law Enforcement or C.R.A.D.L.E., a police-like team to stop them from acting. Of course, heroes like the Champions find ways to resist these fascist laws, which turns them into criminals for a while, even though they're doing the right thing.

The MCU has introduced a couple of young heroes, but all of them have worked under other, more adult mentors. This is about to change with Spider-Man all alone in the world and Ms. Marvel striking an alliance with Kate Bishop. It would make sense for the MCU’s society to distrust the idea of having kids as superheroes. “Outlawed” would be a great series to introduce the teenage superteam without having the adult Avengers take care of them. Instead, they must make their spot in the superhero world regardless of who is against them.

Marvel 1985 is the most meta thing to come out of Marvel until Gwenpool. This comic tells the story of Toby Goodman, a kid with family and school troubles who finds solace in comics. Things get odd when he starts seeing the characters from his comics in the real world. As more and more villains and heroes from Earth-616 start seeping into Toby’s world, he also must deal with his own problems.

With the Multiverse in the open, Marvel Studios has established the MCU reality as Earth-616. This means the real world is Earth-1219 and a part of said multiverse, just like in Marvel 1985. The MCU could use an adaptation of this series to bring reality into this universe, too, making it even more relatable than it already is – and with some interactive stuff. Since comic books are central to Marvel 1985, it would be interesting to see if Marvel Studios can pull off this meta-referencing through audiovisual media.

Set on Earth-12101, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe follows a reality where the X-Men sent Deadpool to be cured by Dr. Benjamin Brighton. Unbeknownst to them, this scientist is Psycho-Man, a villain who has brainwashed Deadpool into killing everything and everyone around him. This, of course, includes all Marvel heroes.

Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe is one of the most iconic series featuring the Merc with a Mouth. Unfortunately, this comic cannot get a proper adaptation without ruining the MCU canon. Given this, a miniseries based on an alternate universe – just like in the comics – would be the best way to bring it to life. Of course, it would have to be an R-rated series, but this shouldn’t be a problem since Deadpool & Wolverine already opened the door to that rating in the MCU.
