My Ideal Casting Choices - Marvel Universe

I'm a Marvel fan, It's not my favorite piece of fiction but I still really like it and feel a connection to it. Marvel has so many interesting characters to fancast and has a different feel than DC so it won't be 100% the same. So yeah these are all my ideal choices for majority of characters but here are some ''rules'' I follow: 1. These fan casts are not connected, just who I like the most to play the characters 2. I won't choose anyone who has played the character in live action before but I am open to choosing people who have voiced the the character before. This is due to me wanting more people attached to the character and also variety. 3. These choices are not who I think could be overall ''best'' fit for the role but the 5 people I personally would love to see and or think would do a wonderful job.
