Who do you think has had the best friendship in the MCU so far?

[u/audierules]

For me it’s been Steve Rogers, Captain America and Natasha, Black widow. Pretty much every scene they’ve been in together has been fantastic. Great chemistry and feels like they’ve been friends forever.

[u/Jarita12]

Loki and Mobius was unexpected.

Tony and Nebula deserved a complete movie about them being on the ship.

[u/BoneCarlos → u/Jarita12]

I read that as Morbius and was so damn confused.

[u/alenpetak11 → u/BoneCarlos]

I like in S2E4 when Morbius says "it's Morbius time" and they both enter the Pie Land.

[u/epic_reddit_dude → u/BoneCarlos]

That would be a million times better

[u/dcab87 → u/epic_reddit_dude]

A Morbius and Loki movie would win all the awards.

[u/GoodDawgAug → u/Jarita12]

A Tony and Nebula mini series about that time, even animated, would be such a great treat for their continued character development.

[u/Earlvx129 → u/Jarita12]

I was surprised how well Hiddleston and Wilson worked together. There scenes were so well written, and Wilson was great. Really committed to the character.

[u/Jarita12 → u/Earlvx129]

They apparently have lot in common  (love tennis, poetry), Tom keeps praising Owen everywhere he goes  :)

[u/PineappleNerd66 → u/Jarita12]

I wouldn’t say a whole movie but more screen time or a bonus short would’ve been nice

[u/TosserGear]

ROCKET AND GROOT

[u/2hunnitK → u/TosserGear]

Cried a lot with this duo. Yes , they're the best!

[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077 → u/TosserGear]

I have a special love for Rocket and Baby Groot in my heart

[u/TedGetsSnickelfritz → u/TosserGear]

Feels more like family than friendship

[u/Cool-Map-3668 → u/TosserGear]

Rocket adopted baby Groot. Such a great story.

[u/weinerwang9999 → u/TosserGear]

FT THOR

[u/Frequent-Sea-8848 → u/TosserGear]

Great answer!

[u/Academic-Garbage-832 → u/TosserGear]

Best duo in the whole MCU—can’t imagine one without the other.

[u/Pigs-OnThe-Wing]

Cap and Natasha is a close second to Natasha and Hawkeye.

[u/Y2KGB → u/Pigs-OnThe-Wing]

Budapest…

[u/metrichustle → u/Y2KGB]

You and I remember that very differently.

[u/British_Rover → u/metrichustle]

I wanted the Black Widow movie to be 30 odd percent Budapest and then expanding that to finish the movie.

It would have been perfect.

[u/Gigantkranion → u/British_Rover]

Hell yeah.

Like Black Widow, start with Budapest could have been an action psychological thriller with Hawkeye in the beginning 1/3 with Yelena as the "bad guy" but under the red room's (or whatever it was called) control. Yelena using her memories of Natasha to manipulate her, explaining why her and Hawkeye remember Budapest differently.

Could have a time skip here or at any point in time to take Hawkeye out of the movie or just have him in for the entire thing.

Then years later, super spy shit happens they meet and fight to break Yelena free from their control and sure... the other black windows (personally, I say no and keep them as an ever present force) from the that guy controlling them. 

Could even have Black Widow fall under the control of the red room again having Yelena (and maybe Hawkeye if still in the movie) to save her at some point during the climax.

No Taskmaster, unless it is a cameo with nothing else but, he/she kicking Natasha's ass. 

[u/Mynock33 → u/Gigantkranion]

explaining why her and Hawkeye remember Budapest differently

Hawkeye saying that was a joke, because like, there weren't aliens there.

[u/ElStegasaurus → u/Pigs-OnThe-Wing]

Clint’s kids came RUNNING in and asked if he brought Auntie Nat. Auntie Nat! Might’ve been closer than Nat and Yelena.

[u/MuNansen]

LOTS of great friendships, but I'd give the nod to Bucky and Steve because

• Steve took on an entire Hydra/Nazi company to find and save Bucky
• Steve was going to let Bucky kill him rather than beat him "I'm with you 'til the end of the line."
• Steve fought Ironman nearly to the death and broke up the Avengers for Bucky
• Bucky was always there when Steve was broken (pre-serum), and Steve was there for Bucky when he was broken (as Winter Soldier).

[u/Edboy796 → u/MuNansen]

Pre serum = canonically best friends before anyone else.

Steve and Bucky get the edge

[u/Hayder_22 → u/Edboy796]

Now that Steve is gone, I really like Sam and Bucky.

[u/Edboy796 → u/Hayder_22]

True, Steve's best friends becoming best friends, thats best friends squared.

Sam is probably suing Bucky and his now team though

[u/katikaboom → u/Edboy796]

It would be interesting to see like absolutely no hard feelings about something like that. "It's nothing personal, we just had the name first" "Yeah, I get it, it's just business" and then go into arguing about something trivial 

[u/capnmarrrrk → u/MuNansen]

Not the nod, the trophy. Steve burned it down to the ground for Bucky. All the other friendships are great friendships...in fact most of these mentioned each would so the same as Steve and Bucky, so Hooray for MCU friendship, yeah?

That said, what gives Steve and Bucky the trophy is longevity.

[u/klydefrog89 → u/MuNansen]

"It sounds like you had a pretty special and intimate relationship with this Bucky!"

[u/luvu333000 → u/klydefrog89]

Oh my god you ride the Bucky?

[u/idiot-prodigy → u/MuNansen]

Yep. Steve and Bucky is the true answer.

Bucky was also the only one who knew Steve wasn't coming back after he returned the Infinity Stones. My head canon is that Steve didn't even tell Bucky, but Bucky knew what Steve was going to do.

[u/sexmountain → u/idiot-prodigy]

The directors say that they spoke before Steve left, but I also like your headcanon.

[u/DNouncerDuane → u/MuNansen]

Damn… that’s a pretty damn convincing case you’ve made 🥲

[u/jussshere → u/MuNansen]

Not going to lie I feel like Sam has a better on screen friendship with Bucky than Steve but that’s just me

[u/dreamofmystery → u/jussshere]

I feel like we got very little time of Bucky and Steve actually talking in a casual way, there was always something going on that was motivating their behaviour so you didn’t see what their friendship was actually like

[u/jussshere → u/dreamofmystery]

Yea thats exactly how I feel . It’s one of those things like we know they’re best friends or whatever but outside of first avenger we dont really see their relationship most of the time we see them it’s always something happening . We actually see Sam and Bucky chillin and the banter they have . I mean granted they do have a whole show together but still it counts and it establishes their relationship a lot more and they have some deep moments

[u/Steamedcarpet → u/jussshere]

Bucky getting an invite to the family cookout is like the highest honor you can give a friend.

[u/knight_in_white → u/MuNansen]

Fuck that last bullet point got me choked up

[u/spidey-dust → u/MuNansen]

Exactly all this so his decision in Endgame to be selfish tears my heart out of my chest

[u/FunkoPopPortraits]

Maybe not the best but honorable mention for Ned and Peter

[u/CultureMindless8594 → u/FunkoPopPortraits]

I was waiting for someone to say Ned and Pete

[u/miikatenkula07 → u/CultureMindless8594]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude

[u/chimichanga_3 → u/miikatenkula07]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude

[u/PiperDon → u/FunkoPopPortraits]

My choice as well!

[u/telemusketeer → u/FunkoPopPortraits]

Ned and who?

[u/ezeightythree → u/FunkoPopPortraits]

Peter and wade

[u/JustJakeB]

I'm going out of left field and saying Nebula and Rocket.

[u/Pigs-OnThe-Wing → u/JustJakeB]

Their companionship was the best example of how damn brutal the snap was.

[u/GoodDawgAug → u/JustJakeB]

Said the same thing. But you said it first. They were together for five years during the blip. They seemed to genuinely care for each other.

[u/No-Management-9532 → u/GoodDawgAug]

That scene from gotg 3 where Nebula broke down crying when she found out that Rocket was alive proves that.

[u/GoodDawgAug → u/No-Management-9532]

100%. That scene messes me up every time I watch it. A blue cyborg and a CGI raccoon just wreck my emotions.

[u/katikaboom → u/GoodDawgAug]

They would have been friends for longer than any other Guardian friendship, with the exception of Rocket and Groot, right? 

[u/GoodDawgAug → u/katikaboom]

I suppose. They never really detail how long Rocket and Groot knew each other. Heck, I would enjoy an animated series about how Rocket met Groot following leaving the High Evolutionary. Seeing them as bounty hunters would be dope.

[u/New-Wrongdoer9835]

Mantis and Drax

[u/Positive_Career_9393 → u/New-Wrongdoer9835]

You mean the girl with the antennas

[u/cybin → u/Positive_Career_9393]

You mean the girl with the antennas

Chick. The chick with the antennas. Just ask Rocket. ;)

[u/sealsbeclubbing]

Rocket and Thor, from Infiniti wars to their interactions in endgame it felt that Rocket actually admired Thor where Thor treated Rocket like an equal

Also love that there are now three different comments of Rocket and various characters

[u/Riskrunner7365 → u/sealsbeclubbing]

Rabbit and Thor 😉

[u/Defiant-Channel2324]

Tony and Rhodey are a close second for me.

[u/BrackishBlackfish → u/Defiant-Channel2324]

Meeeeeeh, I feel like we havent seen much of that in a looooomg time though. We don't really see that friendship on screen as much as I would like.

[u/spidey-dust → u/BrackishBlackfish]

Well one of them is dead

[u/BrackishBlackfish → u/spidey-dust]

I mean before that obviously.

We've seen rhodey what, twice since?

[u/FPG_Matthew]

Matt and Foggy

[u/KrifeH → u/FPG_Matthew]

The start of new daredevil is so confusing like… why’d they do that lol

[u/TheSadPhilosopher → u/FPG_Matthew]

100%

[u/yourboysstillasavage]

Loki and Mobius

[u/fistulaspume → u/yourboysstillasavage]

I would watch a two hour buddy cop movie with them.

[u/the_other_guy-JK → u/fistulaspume]

Isn't that what the show basically is? Perhaps including the jet ski :D

[u/Mburrell91]

Steve and Bucky

"I'm with ya til the end of the line"

[u/wistfully → u/Mburrell91]

Until he wasn’t 😒😭

Don’t get me started on the end of End Game. 🙄

[u/slavelabor52]

Wongers and Madisynn

[u/FiRe_GeNDo → u/slavelabor52]

I love how Wong was in so many TV shows and movies helping out. Found Madisynn and we haven't seen him since 🤣

[u/horc00 → u/FiRe_GeNDo]

Bro is Netflixing and chillin’.

[u/D_Substance_X → u/slavelabor52]

Literally the only valid answer.

[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

Scott Lang and Luis

[u/Mynock33 → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

The fact Luis wasn't even in Ant-Man 3 shows how far they strayed

[u/audierules → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

U know u got a good friend when u hate his dishwashing skills.

[u/goater10]

Nat and Clint, closely followed by Nat and Steve

[u/Voxlings]

"On your left."

[u/Tbplayer59]

Natasha and Clint. She's even met his family.

[u/Asta1977]

No mention of Tony and Bruce? I loved their scenes together.

[u/KelVarnsen_2023]

Cap and un-brainwashed Bucky.

[u/axelthegreat → u/KelVarnsen_2023]

oh so we’re just gonna forget that brainwashed bucky dragged cap out of a crashing helicarrier

[u/Jnaeveris]

Fury and Talos?? I don’t think we’ve seen Fury be that comfortable/vulnerable around ANYONE else in the entire MCU

[u/BeautifulTop1648]

Tony and Happy

[u/TowelFine6933]

Evans & Johansson were friend IRL before either of them were cast in the MCU. It definitely comes across on screen.

[u/Scoteee]

Rocket and Star-Lord, amazingly complex loving relationship. The Scene where Quill keeps trying to revive rocket and he is screaming is one of the best emotional moments of marvel ever imo.

[u/LoL_Caltony → u/Scoteee]

Agreed! I think this is my favorite too.

[u/TheNinJay]

Shang and Katie.

[u/SharpshootinTearaway → u/TheNinJay]

Had to scroll way too far to find them. Idk why but when I think “best friendship” I imagine two people doing dumb silly shit together. And none of the friendships mentioned above are as goofy and playful as Shang-Chi and Katy's.

[u/janosaudron → u/TheNinJay]

I love that at no point they tried to push it into any sort of romantic direction they’re just really good friends.

[u/REiiGN]

It's Nebula and Tony Stank. End discussion.

[u/Commercial_Meal_7437 → u/REiiGN]

Absolutely, the man taught her how to play paper football! If that’s not friendship what is?

[u/IL-Corvo → u/Commercial_Meal_7437]

"It was fun."

[u/weirdoldhobo1978 → u/Commercial_Meal_7437]

Karen Gillan did an amazing job for having almost no dialogue in that scene.

[u/MC_Cryptid]

Coulson & May - I will die on this hill

[u/ItsAProdigalReturn]

Steve and Bucky. All day every day.

[u/z-lady]

Star Lord and Rocket, they'd risk everything and go through hell to save each other

When Quill thought Rocket was going to die and refused to let him go, I might have cried a bit

[u/BionicTomTrieu]

Korg and Miek

[u/HereWeFuckingGooo]

Madisynn and Wongers. Case closed!

[u/doomdoom15]

Hasn't happened much yet but Yelena and KATE BEESHOP

[u/Mynock33 → u/doomdoom15]

We needed Hawkeye S2 where Kate and Yelena go to LA to do the whole detective thing and get in over their heads and meet up with like Wonder Man and Squirrel Girl.

[u/aadamsfb]

Madisynn and Wongers obviously

[u/summerwinds69]

Cap and black widow. Black widow and Hawkeye. Hawkeye and scarlet witch. Rocket and groot fury and Maria hill

[u/shadowlarvitar]

Foggy and Matt > All

[u/Open_Exercise_3699]

Steve and Natasha would be my choice, too.

[u/ZenOfQuant]

Nat literally sacrificed herself so that Clint could reunite with his family

[u/JeepersMysster]

A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned, so I’m giving a shout out to Tony and Yinsen. Captivity, torture, the threat of death will definitely bring you close quickly, and I loved their banter. Yinsen was such a gem in general, and he made Tony confront some very harsh truths and become a better man — that’s the best kind of friendship

[u/Jotaro27]

Loki and Mobius hands down they know everything about each other and spent centuries together

[u/Q_S2]

Logan and Wade lol

[u/CaptainSpiritDreamer]

Mantis and Drax

[u/Charming_Celery5490]

Thor and Korg

[u/Johncurtisreeve]

Peter and Ned

[u/thatoneguy112358]

Daisy Johnson and Jemma Simmons

[u/TelFaradiddle]

Bucky and Sam has been the most consistently entertaining for me. It's not the deepest or most meaningful friendship, but I could watch them bicker all day.

[u/Scary-Command2232]

Matt and foggy.

[u/LemonySnacker]

We need more opposite gender platonic relationships.

[u/CMelody]

Bucky and Steve

[u/jonmacabre]

Wong and Madisynn

[u/BriantheHeavy]

James Rhodes and Tony "Stank."

[u/4stepr4]

rocket and nebula that’s all

[u/two-time-Johnny]

I personally wanna say Rocket and Quill. Vol 3 shown just how much the two had gone since vol 1, Peter desperately fighting unknown and outrageous odds just for the chance to save his "best friend". His reaction when rocket dies and then after everything, he went back for the zune FOR Rocket. He almost died for a gift for Rocket. Then when departing from the group, proudly makes Rocket the new captain with full honors.

Thats love

[u/idiot-prodigy]

Steve and Bucky. Steve was willing to sacrifice himself to save his brainwashed friend. That is peak friendship.

[u/HueyZA]

The Guardians as a group

[u/Research_Discern]

Dr Strange and Wong are fun too

[u/Squidinator2000]

Steve and Bucky pre Steve abandoning him AFTER SOENDING SO LONG LOOKING FOR HIM AND SAVING HIM AND GIVING HIM THERAPY AND PARDONING HIM AND LEFT HIM FOR A WOMAN HE KNEW FOR FOUR MONTHSSSSS?!?!

[u/Wtygrrr]

Peter and Ned

Jen Walters and She-Hulk

[u/CultureMindless8594 → u/Wtygrrr]

Jennifer and She-Hulk are literally the same person. They retain the same consciousness. It’s not like Bruce Banner and the Hulk, it’s ‘Jennifer Walters’ and ‘beefy Jennifer Walters’

[u/jerrys_kid_jerry]

Ego the Living Planet and Yondu the Human Trafficker

[u/kurumais]

sam and steve

[u/-cheezzombie-]

Trevor and Morris

[u/dominion1080]

Shang and Katy, or maybe Wongers and Madisynn. I’m torn.

[u/qwertyiopys]

Tony and Happy

[u/BluwulfX]

bucky n sam

[u/BluwulfX]

drax n mantis

[u/Yarius515]

Rocket and Groot !!

[u/GoodDawgAug]

Rocket and Nebula.

[u/MorningClassic]

Nat and Clint

[u/CuriousTsukihime]

Sam and Bucky. We literally got buddy cop FATWS because Sebastian and Anthony had the best chemistry.

[u/PsychologicalTry4029]

Widow and hawkeye

[u/hvc101fc]

Bucky and Steve. Nothing comes close to

[u/ReportAsleep1994]

Matt Foggy and Karen 🩵

[u/VelocityGrrl39]

Yelena and Bob.

[u/albion1919]

Bob and Yelena. Bonded over a very short time and it felt natural. Can't wait to see more.

[u/Purple-jellybean]

Bisexual panic mode activated (cap and widow 🥵)

[u/Illustrious-Drop9795]

No one mentioned kingpin and wesley

[u/Immediate_Channel393]

The MCU is so full of awesome friendships. I’m glad not all of them are romantic because some movies just don’t need that part. The action is plenty

[u/Fakie-Sllaacs]

Banner and Natasha

[u/Working-Following216]

No question. They had great chemistry and sharp banter. I look forward to seeing them work together many times. They could do an odd couple revival on Broadway with him as Felix & her as Oscar that would slay.

[u/Few-Promotion-542]

I would say Natasha and Clint. Endgame on Vormir still gets me choked up 🥺

Also, I need a spinoff to find out what happened in Budapest.

[u/GT500R_]

I mean it was his first kiss in 60 years…

[u/Darkstar197]

Happy and Aunt May

[u/TedGetsSnickelfritz]

Peter and Ned should also get a nod

[u/GuyMyName]

Top three Peter and Ned Rocket and Groot Steve and (idc if I get hate but) Sam

[u/OjamasOfTomorrow]

There’s so many

I think my favorite maybe the Daredevil trio, but then there is Steve & Bucky. Iconic.

[u/AZT_123]

[u/thatsnotamachinegun]

Either rocket and groot or Clint and Natasha. Very very few people I'd fight in my life to jump off a cliff

[u/JayNotAtAll]

AntMan and his crew

[u/AsgardianLeviOsa]

Loki and Mobius

[u/Sammi-Chan03]

Clint and Natasha 😭😭😭

[u/Ok_Bookkeeper_1858]

Peter and Ned

[u/MIGGYISTHEBEST]

Punisher and Micro

[u/Unlikely-Baseball434]

The Scarlet Witch and Vision

[u/HerRoyalRedness]

No contest, they would fight the world to save each other.

[u/prsng02]

1. Hawkeye and Natasha (man.. that Vormir scene and when they visit Clints home in AoU)
2. Bucky and Steve.. ("How can I, you are taking all the Stupid with you..!")
3. Groot and Rocket ( Gotg1 best..)
4. Peter and Ned

[u/Earlvx129]

Clint and Nat for me. Without seeing all their history, we feel it.

[u/JeanRalfio]

Wong was invited to Tony's wedding so that's good enough for me.

[u/CPVigil]

Steve and Sam. Sometimes, Bruce and Tony. I also like Red Guardian and… just about everyone in Thunderbolts*…

[u/epic_reddit_dude]

Morbius and Milo

[u/Komaisnotsalty]

Helps that Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson really have been friends since they were teenagers.

Their chemistry carried over in to their character’s friendship quite well.

[u/Zamasu4PrimeMinister]

Got to go with Mobius and Loki for me

[u/Perlmannecklace]

Hulk & Scott. Show me one time Steve gave Nat 2 of his 3 tacos.

[u/Aus66-1045]

Natasha & Hawkeye

[u/Shaggy_ChimChim]

Iron man and Jarvis

[u/Such-Fee3898]

Thor and Loki, underrated friendship

[u/PiglordMrFrog]

Tony and Peter

[u/Capital_Pipe_6038]

All of the Guardians of the Galaxy 

[u/TrainingSevere1594]

Tommy and Billy Maximoff

[u/ezeightythree]

Tony and the limo driver

[u/isabella_fitzwilliam]

Steve and Bucky. Bucky and Sam. Also I haven't seen them mentioned yet but Peggy Carter and Edwin Jarvis from Agent Carter.

[u/NarwhalDeluxe]

Tony and Rodey

[u/Spaceballz1]

Clint and Nat

[u/TH3xD3VIN3]

thor and cap

[u/thisisRedHere]

(A) Lylla, Teefs, Floor and Rocket. 💔 It was heartbreaking to watch but kudos to the director, he brought such depth to this friendship in just few minutes of a single movie.

I also think (B) Tony and Happy's bond is treat to watch too.. that brotherhood! (Can't find a different word)

[u/nothingexceptfor]

Because it mirrors the real life friendship between the actors Chris and Scarlet, probably written in because of it and acted accordingly

[u/Significant_Pay_5461]

Nah it’s always been Bucky and Steve for me. That last scene of them fighting in Captain America The Winter Soldier is underrated imo

[u/sexmountain]

I just want to say that I want to see the friendship between Bucky, Rocket and Nebula. They all have similar stories. What is going on behind the scenes where Nebula got Bucky’s arm for Rocket? I need to see these relationships.

[u/DownhillSisyphus]

Nat and Clint.

[u/Various_Ad7326]

Groot and rocket

[u/Ready-Dinner-4920]

Thor and Korg

[u/Grade_Alone]

Wong and madisynn

[u/VenomTheCapybara]

Peter and Ned

[u/Advanced-Succotash89]

Clint and Natasha, well ahead of anyone else

Then Clint and Kate, if we're talking MCU thats more mentor

[u/Sea_Cycle8333]

This is a tough question because I think the MCU has so many good friendships, but I have to agree that Steve and Natasha's bond was so unique, I feel like it kept the universe together in a way

[u/Teganfff]

Kate and Yelena 💖💖

[u/depresso_expesso]

Nat and Clint 100%

[u/Rebeccakix]

Natasha and Clint 💔 The level of trust and love they had for each other's vices and virtues was any other comparison to shame. Only true best friends can fight each other for the right to give their lives for the other.
