Anthony Mackie’s character Sam Wilson, or Falcon, has a more toned-down appearance from his comics look. He’s also one of Steve’s closest friends …leading him to take over as the new Captain America.
Moon Knight was introduced to the MCU in March 2022, as played by Oscar Isaac in the Disney+ series of the same name. In the comics, Moon Knight (real name Marc Spector) is a vigilante with dissociative identity disorder who moonlights as a servant of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu.
Captain Marvel, real name Carol Danvers, became the first female Marvel superhero with her own movie in 2019. She’s played by Brie Larson.

Florence Pugh made her debut as the new Black Widow, Yelena Belova, in “Black Widow.”
The Scott Lang version of Ant-Man, played by Paul Rudd, is remarkably similar to the comics.

The leader of the Eternals is Ajak, who has healing abilities. In the comics, Ajak is a man, while the MCU version is played by Salma Hayek.

In the MCU, the Greek warrior goddess Athena is apparently inspired by Angelina Jolie’s Thena, an Eternal who can create cosmic weaponry. Her look is one of the most comics-accurate.

Doctor Strange — or, to be more precise, Dr. Stephen Strange — is the former Sorcerer Supreme. He’s played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
The Ancient One helped the Avengers in the first film — and then again during the time heist in “Endgame,” making her an official Avenger in our books. She was played by Tilda Swinton, a significant departure from the comics character.
Wong is a fellow Master of the Mystic Arts, played by Benedict Wong. He’s now the Sorcerer Supreme due to a “technicality.”
