One thing that's been interesting about the MCU is that secret identities have never really been important.

  • Iron Man? Revealed his identity publicly at the end of his first movie.
  • Cap? Never had a secret identity.
  • Hulk? I'm pretty sure he's publicly known as Banner.
  • Thor? Just Thor.
  • Black Widow and Hawkeye? Just secret agents who work for Shield.
  • Black Panther? Identity is basically public.
  • Spidey? Had his identity revealed at the end of his last movie.
  • Dr. Strange? That's his actual name.
  • Captain Marvel? Another public hero.
  • Ant-Man? Nobody really cares who he is.

So yeah, I can't really think of any important character with a secret identity. Closest is Spidey's whose was only barely a secret anyway, and that only lasted two movies. On the other hand, you could argue that secret IDs are overdone and not really having them refreshing. But I'd be curious to see how the MCU would handle a character that REALLY would rather their identity not be known.

wow interesting observation...especially since a huge ongoing part of the plot for spidey in the comics was keeping his identity on the low...if anything I could argue he was THE marvel character whose secret identity was of the utmost importance

Yeah having your secret identity out there seems to make you a celebrity in the MCU, I wonder how they'll follow up spiderman but at the same time fukk Sony because were probably not going to see how he'll fit in with the entire mcu
