The Top 10 Most Hated MCU Characters, Ranked

As someone who has been following the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years now, I must say that the characters and cameos they introduce can often make or break the fan experience. Some characters are loved, while others, unfortunately, are not. And it seems that the list you’ve provided showcases some of the most unpopular figures among MCU fans.


Over time, Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been my go-to for an endless array of captivating characters – from leads to supporting actors and extras, the count runs into thousands. The cinematic world built by Marvel Studios remains unrivaled in scale as a single narrative universe, and it’s safe to say this epic saga will continue expanding until its grand finale. Frankly, the MCU is unique, and its character-driven tales have been nothing short of extraordinary, making them worthy of dedicated analysis. However, I thought I’d mix things up a bit… So, let’s dive into some intriguing insights about these iconic characters!

In this piece, we’ll share a rundown of ten Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) characters who have garnered the most disfavor among fans. These aren’t necessarily the most famous or powerful figures, but rather those that have left a sour taste in viewers’ mouths due to their appearances across various series and films. While some characters may carry more weight, all will be scrutinized with reasons provided as to why they made it onto our list of least favorites. Enjoy!

10. Gorr

Unlike his comic book version, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was met with widespread disapproval, even by Christian Bale himself. Regrettably, Marvel bungled one of its most recent notable villains, Gorr, in terms of both visual presentation and storytelling. In contrast to the comics where Gorr was a terrifying adversary and a significant threat to the entire universe, in the movies he was just another underwhelming villain among many who were poorly executed and squandered during the MCU’s least successful film run.

9. Jane Foster

During our ongoing conversation about the Marvel’s Thor series, it’s only fair to bring up Jane Foster too. Critics argue that her character development wasn’t handled well, and her transformation into Thor in the film Love and Thunder didn’t seem to resonate with fans. To be honest, she didn’t have a standout role or action, but Natalie Portman is widely admired as an actress. However, it seems that Jane Foster has been a bit of a divisive character among the fanbase.

8. Star-Lord

The main character is frequently criticized for the events at the end of the Infinity Saga, largely because of weak storytelling. While Chris Pratt’s portrayal was decent and amusing, fans continue to blame him, which explains his inclusion on this list. However, his overall impact on the MCU may not justify such criticism; ultimately, it’s up for interpretation.

7. Sersi

In a different wording: The fans’ most disliked character from the Eternals cast is undeniably Sersi, and it’s easy to see why. Although she was meant to be a heroine and savior, her portrayal fell short, coming across as cold and emotionless. This lifeless character failed to resonate with viewers, leaving us without a reason to root for her. Ironically, despite this, the film continued to emphasize Sersi, which seemed odd given her lack of appeal.

6. Korg

In the sequel Love and Thunder, a beloved character from Ragnarok transformed into a character many found irritating. Despite appearing frequently, his presence lacked purpose and failed to deliver the necessary humor given his significant role in the narrative. This inconsistency led fans to develop a dislike for him.

5. Bill Maher

To put it simply, even though Bill Maher only had a minor appearance in Iron Man 3, his subsequent comments about comic book culture sparked strong negative feelings among Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans. His contentious nature is well-known, and while his role in the MCU was minimal, it significantly boosted his position on this list due to the controversy he stirs up.

4. Megan Thee Stallion

If you recall the scene featuring Megan Thee Stallion in the show “She-Hulk”, it’s clear why she made our list – she played a cameo as herself, for those who may have missed that detail. While many found that scene out of place, the criticism was excessive. However, since Megan is frequently associated with such lists, we felt compelled to include her on ours as well.

3. John Walker

When this character emerged, he was universally despised due to several factors. To begin with, he presented himself as Captain America, but turned out to be a poorly executed caricature instead. Secondly, despite his ineptitude, he behaved as though he were the greatest in the world. Lastly, he exhibited corrupt and narcissistic tendencies, combined with an unpleasant demeanor. Although he eventually gained redemption by the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, he remains one of the most loathed characters, and rightfully so.

2. Elon Musk

It’s generally agreed that Elon Musk, known for his deception during this generation, and one of history’s most notorious liars and hypocrites, had a small role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where he appeared to be reasonable. However, as you’re aware, his behavior has evolved since then, leading him to engage in supposed conflicts with Disney, progressive movements, and various other topics. Given this shift, it’s no surprise that fans have grown to dislike him.

1. Bill O’Reilly

Without a shadow of a doubt, Bill O’Reilly, the well-known conservative commentator, claims the number one spot on our list. Although he made an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, his unpleasant demeanor was just as evident there as it is in reality. In essence, being Bill O’Reilly is more than enough to secure this top position.
