Fans everywhere are excited about the debut of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which sees the titular character team up with her cousin, Bruce Banner. They are sure to be added to the list of lovable duos within the MCU who are often the best part of their respective projects.
Each Phase of the MCU has been defined by a select few pairings and the same goes for the shows that premiered on Disney+. Although they are all part of Phase 4 so far, the TV series still feel different from the films, so it's fitting that the standout duos are also unique.
Layla El-Fouly & Marc Spector/Steven Grant
Moon Knight
For the most part, Moon Knight feels like it exists in its own separate world from the rest of the MCU. As of right now, it doesn't have any major connections to other shows and movies. Regardless of how it is part of the franchise, it shined because of the characters it introduced.
Both Marc Spector and Steven Grant were entertaining for different reasons and their relationships with Layla El-Fouly were unique. Marc was married to her and they had a mutual respect, while Layla had a charming friendship with Steven. It made their scenes together fantastic whether it was Marc or Steven.
Agatha Harkness & Wanda Maximoff
WandaVision
Casting Kathryn Hahn as the typical nosy neighbor in while parodying sitcom tropes would've been enough to make them a top pairing.
The twist in the show that Hahn was actually Agatha Harkness, the overarching villain, only added to it. Even not considering their climactic battle, they were great. The simple scenes of Agatha trapping Wanda and explaining everything to her were some of the best and the actors played so well off of each other.
Bucky Barnes & Sam Wilson
The Falcon & The Winter Soldier
One of the few TV pairings to actually first work together on the big screen was that of Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson. The titular characters in both friends of Steve Rogers though they had an uneasy relationship together.
Although the show was mixed at times, Bucky and Sam had great chemistry when sharing a scene. Whether it was comedic antagonism during a therapy session or the more grounded stuff where Bucky helped Sam understand that he's worthy of the shield, these two were glorious together.
Loki & Mobius M. Mobius
Loki
A lot of the time, these duos work so well because the two actors portraying the characters have strong chemistry. That was evident when you watch Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson together throughout Loki as they were so enjoyable as a unit.
Beyond their chemistry, the development these characters went through was also a success. Loki helped Mobius open up about wanting more than being part of the TVA, while Mobius helped Loki turn into more of a heroic figure, which didn't seem possible given where the God of Mischief was at the start of the series.
Marc Spector & Steven Grant
Moon Knight
The only pairing to really stand out on these shows that wasn't actually two different people was Marc Spector and Steven Grant. The two personalities clashed and couldn't have been more different. Steven was laid-back and reserved while Marc had a vicious streak.
Opposites can typically make for an entertaining duo but what really made Steven and Marc click was when they bonded. Despite their differences, the two found a way to work together. They had each other's backs and the reveal of how Steven was created followed by his sacrifice made for some of the most emotional scenes in the MCU.
Bruno Carrelli & Kamala Khan
Ms. Marvel
Fans of the franchise love watching Ms. Marvel with Kamala Khan as the budding young hero and Bruno Carrelli as her brilliant bestie.
As soon as things started getting weird in Kamala's life, she confided in Bruno before anyone else. He was always there for her and came up with inventions that helped her immensely. It seems like Bruno has feelings for Kamala and while that could be explored, they're already beloved as just a pair of friends.
Clint Barton & Kate Bishop
Hawkeye
A lot of Phase Four has involved new characters stepping into established roles held by previous Avengers. Sam Wilson is now Captain America, Yelena Belova is the new Black Widow, and Kate Bishop has arrived to take the mantle of Hawkeye.
In Hawkeye, Kate made her debut and got involved in the life of her idol, Clint Barton. Kate's chipper and sarcastic attitude was a fantastic foil for Clint's stoic manner. They had one of the best mentor/mentee relationships in the entire MCU and seeing how Clint ultimately took her in as family was endearing.
Loki & Sylvie
Loki
The Multiverse Saga is the current era of the MCU and no show went into that concept more than Loki. The titular God of Mischief met a variant of himself and it just so happened to be Sylvie, who is one of the best new Phase Four characters.
It makes total sense that Loki would fall in love with another variant of himself because of his egotistical nature. He and Sylvie are two sides of the same coin and are a rare case of a duo working because of their similarities, not their differences.
Wanda Maximoff & Vision
WandaVision
Like Bucky and Sam, Wanda Maximoff and Vision first bonded in films. They both debuted in Captain America: Civil War, they shared the screen a lot and you could tell that a romance was brewing.
After the tragic events of Thanos killing Vision to get the Mind Stone, Wanda found a way to bring him back using her immense magical abilities. Their relationship drove everything in WandaVision and fans adore their love. Ultimately, Wanda had to give it all up in heartbreaking fashion.
Kate Bishop & Yelena Belova
Hawkeye
Although Hawkeye was mostly about Kate Bishop's relationship with Clint Barton, the show hit the next level when Yelena Belova arrived on the scene. Her mission was to kill Clint as she blamed him for her sister's death but any scene that she had with Kate was where she was at her best.
Kate had her lined up for a shot but didn't take it, mirroring how the friendship between Clint and Natasha started. From their conversation over mac and cheese to their fight in the finale, Yelena and Kate had electric chemistry and audiences are hoping for more from them.
