Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be eager to find out what happens to Michelle "MJ" Jones and Peter Parker's relationship in the future, given that she currently has no idea who he is. Doctor Strange's spell to block the arrival of an infinite number of people from other universes also caused everyone to forget who Peter Parker is. But will the spell be reversed?
So far, Peter and MJ have been a fan-favorite couple, but they aren't the only MCU characters who took a break from dealing with the chaos around them and found time for love. In the franchise's 27 movies and 18 TV shows that have aired so far, the following romantic pairings have been the most adorable, according to Reddit s.
Pepper Potts & Tony Stark
LoveGx89 comments, "Tony and Pepper’s relationship is the most consistent so I’d say they’re the best." The two, who fans like to refer to as "Pepperony" share their first kiss when Pepper declares she is quitting as CEO. They then go on to become a family.
Pepper and Tony's love story is touched on in nine different movies, a statistic that says a lot about the significance of the pairing. That their love gets brewed at the workplace is no surprise because their tech-savvy nature is what makes them bond so well. Their relationship goes the complete cycle too. Fans get to see them fall in love, get married and have a child.
Jemma Simmons & Leo Fitz
Two of the best characters in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz, might not be as popular as the rest of the list but they do give a masterclass on how to date. Redditor poindexterg feels there is no one to challenge them arguing, "What you can build over six seasons of a TV show will sur anything that can be done over a handful of films."
The agents, who both work for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research division, give a whole new definition to "doing anything for love." They travel through space and time for each other and also get to explore different dimensions, with their goal not being work-related but to end up with each other. Most importantly, they go way back more than most characters in the MCU as they are reported to have met when they were both 16-year-old students at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Science.
Peggy Carter & Steve Rogers
Peggy and Steve first meet at Colonel Chester Phillips's training base at Camp Lehigh during the "Project Rebirth" event. They then reunite after the "Infinity War" events. Redditor iJashin reminds everyone that "Steve left his normal life and timeline and still found his way back to Peggy."
The Redditor is right about Steve demonstrating one of the most selfless acts of love in the franchise. Initially, his only reason for time-traveling is to get Pym particles and the tesseract but after seeing Peggy, everything changes. He is happy to settle for life as an old man so long as he gets to be with her. Much credit goes to Peggy too for never moving on.
Laura Barton & Clint Barton
The possibility of a Clint and Natasha relationship is hinted at a few times in the MCU but he ends up happily married to former S.H.I.E.L.D. Laura, aka, Agent 19. Redditor true_paladin says "they're a healthy enough relationship for her to be okay with his 'Avengering.'"
True love means not letting anything jeopardize a relationship and Clint demonstrate just how in love he is by offering to quit the Avengers after the Ultron Offensive. But that's entirely his decision as Laura has proven time and time again that she is okay with him doing whatever he wants. In Hawkeye, she is even willing to let him miss the family's Christmas celebrations so as to deal with a new threat.
Michelle "MJ" Jones & Peter Parker
About Spider-Man-related pairings in the MCU, Assault_ChowChow believes, "the newer Peter-Mj couple is better." The Massachusetts Institute of Technology students start dating shortly after exposing Mysterio's schemes.
It's normal for one-half of a couple to freak out when they find out that the other person's life is a lot more complicated than they thought but MJ gets closer to Peter the harder things become for him. The two have the most fun as a couple too since their scenes aren't limited to room conversations and fights against foes. Instead, they get to swing around New York and lie on rooftops.
Hope van Dyne & Scott Lang
Danishroyaltry feels 's Hope and Scott are special because "they have their own very separate lives and agendas but they still one another and look out for each other." The couple first meets when Scott finds himself at Pym's residence after the prison break. They then fall in love and go on multiple adventures together.
Hope and Scott can pride themselves in being the first present-day superhero lovebirds in the MCU. Hope's safety is always the first thing Scott thinks about, proven by how he immediately focuses on finding her after a rat frees him from the Quantum Realm in 2023. The major reason he proposes the idea of the Time Heist isn't really to save humanity as a whole but to save Hope specifically. But Scott isn't the only one that does the rescuing. Hope saves his life too when he almost drowns after the Mobile lab incident.
Gamora & Peter Quill
NateDignity is a fan of Quill and Gamora. The Redditor states, "They have an unexpected love during unexpected times." The two meet for the first time in Xandar as Gamora is searching for the Orb.
The MCU is packed with numerous sweet Gamora and Star-Lord couple moments. The two always find ways to make their relationship work despite having different personalities. She is ever stern whereas he is goofy. Their relationship is also intriguing because it currently suffers from one of the franchise's biggest complications. Since it's the 2014 version of Gamora that time-travelled to the present, Star-Lord has the extra work of trying to re-seduce her. But that's something he is willing to do, once again proving how deep their love is.
Proxima Midnight & Corvus Galve
Two villainous characters make the list too. ZaWithoutConsequence reminds everyone that the two are "The couple that slays and conquers world's or whatever together."
Since Proxima and Corvus are both adopted children of Thanos, pairing them up feels a bit weird but they are unquestionably the most functional couple. The two are ever in agreement about their acts of mischief and always behave in a similar manner too. One is never far from the other either. They even treat fans to a battle of the couples when they face off against Wanda and Vision in one of the best Avengers: Infinity War fight scenes.
Nakia & T'Challa
Nakia assists T'Challa in reclaiming the throne from Killmonger before becoming his queen. Redditor bobinski_circus appreciates how the two always adore each other, writing, "Even when they’re splitsville they still each other."
Nakia and T'Challa are good together because they both share the vision of helping the outside world. And they are both skilled in combat too. Having participated in many missions outside Wakanda as a member of the War Dogs. Nakia understands the need to help others when you are able to. So does T'Challa. Thinking alike, therefore, makes loving each other much easier.
Wanda Maximoff & Vision
About Wanda and Vision, cbekel3618 observes, "the two make you believe they would do absolutely anything for each other, even if that leads to a lot of collateral damage in the process." Their love story begins during Wanda's time in Scotland and ends when Thanos rips the Mind Stone from Vision's head.
Wanda and Vision's love is so strong that even the phrase "till death do us part" doesn't apply to them. In WandaVision, she once again demonstrates her love by creating a fake reality in Westview, NJ so that she can get to live a sitcom life with the love of her life. Plenty of complications arise from this but on a positive note, the two get to have more golden moments together.
