Over the past decade, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has quickly established itself as Hollywood\u2019s biggest franchise, with audiences consistently flocking to each entry in the sprawling saga.<\/p>\n
Dozens of superheroes have appeared across the 26 films released so far \u2013 with more just around the corner, as Hawkeye<\/a> gets under way on Disney Plus and Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/a> prepares to swing into cinemas.<\/p>\n Many fans would find it difficult to pick just one favourite out of the bunch, so that\u2019s\u00a0why we\u2019ve devised a tournament-style voting system with multiple rounds to make things (slightly) easier.<\/p>\n Four initial rounds will kick things off, with the top two winners from each battling it out in a final stand-off (Avengers: Endgame-style). In the interest of fairness, the heroes featuring in each round were chosen at random.<\/p> Round 1 is looking mighty competitive with heavy hitters like Robert Downey Jr\u2019s Iron Man, Tom Holland\u2019s Spider-Man and the late Chadwick Boseman\u2019s Black Panther, who recently made his final appearance in Marvel\u2019s What If<\/a>.<\/p>\n Also featured here is T\u2019Challa\u2019s irreplaceable military leader Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Avengers\u2019 resident archer Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), both of whom have faced formidable enemies despite not having any super powers of their own.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Sam Wilson earned a horde of new fans following Disney Plus miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier<\/a>, which laid the groundwork for a strongly-rumoured Captain America 4<\/a> starring Anthony Mackie.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also the option to vote for Evangeline Lilly\u2019s Wasp, who was the first female superhero to be featured in the title of an MCU movie and joined the Avengers with partner Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) for the epic Endgame finale.<\/p>\n Last but certainly not least, your vote could go towards Sersi (Gemma Chan), one of the MCU\u2019s newest heroes, who made a big impression in the recently released Eternals<\/a> film.<\/p>\n With your briefing on the contenders over and done with, it\u2019s time for the hard part \u2013 vote for your favourite below!<\/p>\n
