OUR 20 FAVORITE WOMEN FROM THE MARVEL UNIVERSE

Over the last decade, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has become an expansive and multifaceted entity. Avengers: Infinity War, alone, took in more than $2 billion at the international box office (not counting Blu-ray sales and merchandise tie-ins). That worldwide gross was helped, in large part, by the incredible characters that filled the screen. More specifically, Marvel casts touted some of the best actresses in Hollywood. And it’s not just the Avengers films that showcase strong, memorable female leads—nearly every Marvel film features a woman that is ready to kick just as much ass as her male counterpart.

Here, we’ve highlighted some of the best women Marvel has to offer. Take a look through to see some of the franchise’s showstoppers, in no particular order.
