Marvel Phase Five started off as a disappointment with ‘Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania’, but ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3’ brought Marvel’s old magic back. However, with each release of movies and TV shows a new character or an existing Marvel comic character is being brought to life. Kang the Conqueror was introduced along with Adam Warlock and High Efficiency, but Marvel has a long way to go.
Before Marvel’s phase five ends, there are many superheroes and supervillains who are yet to make their debut on the big screen. Here’s the list of characters yet to be launched in MCU’s phase five.

Gravik
Gravik, the leader of the Skrulls, portrayed by Kingsley Ben-Air, will debut in ‘Secret Invasion’. He will go against Nick Fury, Maria Hills, and Talos. Apparently, Gravik is already seen on Earth with a human appearance.
Gravik is an original MCU character and does not have a comic counterpart. But in the ‘Secret Invasion‘, he is most likely to become Talos’ enemy as they both are the most powerful Skrulls on the different sides of the war.
Victor Timely
Victor Timely was teased in the post-credit scenes of ‘Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania’ when Kang’s past, future, and present are discovered. Also, he will the main villain in season two of ‘Loki‘. Timely is not as powerful as his other variants, but he is brainy and tech-savvy.
In the Marvel comics, Victor Timely is a variant of Kang who traveled back in time to the year 1901 to set up a town called Timely, Wisconsin, which became the powerhouse of technology with the help of his knowledge. Although Timely might not be as powerful as Kang the Conquer, his presence has spooked and terrified the god of mischief.

The Hood
In February 2022, Marvel Studies announced that Anthony Ramos will portray the Hood in the upcoming Marvel TV series, ‘Ironheart’. According to Ramos, The Hood won’t be a villain like portrayed in the comics, instead, he will be a complex misfit with reasonable explanations for his actions.
According to the Marvel comics, Parker Robbins was a regular thief until he came across Dormammu‘s boots and cloak. These gave him magic abilities, like invisibility, levitation, and teleportation. Throughout his time in the Marvel universe, the Hood has harnessed abilities through magical items, always using them for evil.
Blade
Blade is a vampire hunter who is hellbent on getting rid of the creatures for good. As a dhampir, he is immune to vampire bites. Mahershala Ali will bring back the Blade alive in phase five.
Almost two years ago, Mahershala Ali debuted in the MCU with a small voice cameo in the post-credit scenes of ‘Eternals‘, but the fans are still waiting to see Blade in a solo film. If MCU’s phase five is on schedule then Blade will be the last film before phase six begins.
Kahorri
Marvel’s ‘What if‘ season two is yet to be released and will serve as a part of Phase Five. In March 2023, Marvel announced that one of the episodes will question what would’ve happened if the Tesseract had crash-landed in America during pre-colonial times, specifically in the Haudenosaunee Confederation.
This change will introduce a new original character in the MCU named Kahhori who is a Mohawk girl. Kahhori’s fate is tied to the Tesseract and this device will give her new abilities and ‘What If‘ will see her take control of them.
