7 years later, Din Djarin and his adoptive son are making the jump from Disney+ with The Mandalorian to the big screen with 2026’s The Mandalorian & Grogu. While it’s a very exciting change for the Star Wars franchise, there are a handful of MCU heroes whom I’d love to see receive the same treatment as well.
Seemingly wanting a surefire win with the first Star Wars movie since The Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian & Grogu promises to be a pretty fun adventure from Lucasfilm starring two of the galaxy’s most popular characters. Similarly, here are five MCU heroes with Disney+ shows who also deserve a big-screen jump, just like The Mandalorian & Grogu.
Moon Knight
Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight screaming
With Oscar Isaac in the role, Moon Knight always seemed like an odd choice on Marvel Studios’ part with the project being a series as opposed to a full blockbuster movie. That said, it was made during a time when Disney was mandating a major influx of context for its new streaming service.
Khonshu’s Fist of Justice is perhaps one of the clearest cases in the MCU for a hero who needs a theatrical upgrade. Likewise, there have yet to be any hard and concrete updates for a second season in the works, despite the first season’s major cliffhanger with Moon Knight’s ending setting up Jake Lockely, Marc Spector and Steven Grant’s darker third personality.
Overall, a potential Moon Knight movie could lean further into the character’s psychological complexity, moral ambiguity, and mythological spectacle as the chosen avatar of the Egyptian moon god. A movie continuation rather than a season could offer a tighter story with better pacing, while still going bigger in ways the character very much deserves.
Hawkeye

Clint Barton and Kate Bishop’s Hawkeye series on Disney+ worked incredibly well due to their strong character chemistry, as Hailee Steinfeld’s Bishop was eventually given the mantle of Hawkeye from Jeremy Renner’s Barton. That said, the argument can be made that a future movie primarily starring Kate Bishop is the better way to go, rather than a second season.
After all, Steinfeld has become a pretty major star in her own right, while teases for Kate Bishop’s MCU future in other projects like The Marvels suggest she may come to lead a new generation of MCU heroes. Keeping that in mind, it does seem as though Kate Bishop is more suited for an MCU blockbuster at this point than she does a streaming series.
Scarlet Witch
Wanda Maximoff fully becoming the Scarlet Witch in WandaVision
At this point, Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff deserves nothing less than her own solo movie. WandaVision was a groundbreaking first MCU series on Disney+, focusing on Wanda’s grief and trauma from the most recent Avengers movies while also coming into her full power as the Scarlet Witch.
While she did return to the big-screen with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda was controversially the film’s primary antagonist with a story that struggled to fully resonate with the events that had just been seen in her Disney+ series.
Keeping that in mind, a Scarlet Witch solo film could center on Wanda’s redemption on the big-screen, rather than being a supporting player in ensemble projects (or as a divisive villain). That said, there would need to be some sort of explanation for her survival (Multiverse of Madness indicated Wanda sacrificed herself at Mount Wundagore).
All things considered, a resurrection for Wanda Maximoff’s Scarlet Witch does seem like it’s already in the works from Marvel Studios, especially with the rest of her family preparing to reunite following the events of Agatha All Along and this year’s upcoming series Vision Quest.
Daredevil

Currently, Daredevil: Born Again is one of Marvel Studios’ best and most critically acclaimed new series. Following the successful release of its first season in 2025, Daredevil’s second season is releasing in April of 2026, and a third season presumably releasing around the same time in 2027.
While the series has been fantastic to watch with the story of Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock continuing from the Netflix era, it would be very cool to see the Man Without Fear potentially getting his own MCU movie once Marvel Studios is ready to give him a final send-off.
Likewise, Murdock’s cameo in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home was just enough to get fans begging for more appearances in future films, proving there is indeed a market for Daredevil to one day make the jump to the big-screen in a way he never has before in the greater MCU.
Much like The Mandalorian & Grogu releasing later this year, a Daredevil film would feel like a very natural evolution and an exciting new shift for the beloved MCU hero.
She-Hulk

She-Hulk’s biggest issue was never Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters, but the episodic format itself. The show struggled to balance legal comedy, superhero satire, and character growth across too few episodes with too-short runtimes, not to mention CGI needs that clearly put a strain on the streaming series’ budget.
With that in mind, a movie starring She-Hulk could arguably solve a few of those problems at once. Likewise, perhaps she could also co-lead a film with Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, as the pair of gamma-irradiated heroes (and cousins) did have a very fun and entertaining chemistry (as brief as Hulk’s role was).
Especially with a new Hulk movie potentially in the works, one would hope that She-Hulk will play a major role on the big-screen, which feels like a more natural fit compared to a second season on Disney+.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a multimedia superhero franchise that began in 2008 with Paramount’s Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. The franchise quickly grew in popularity, with Disney eventually buying out Marvel Entertainment in 2009. The MCU consists of dozens of movies and TV shows, most notably Avengers: Endgame, WandaVision, and Loki.
