Marvel's Disney+ shows will be heavily tied to the Marvel Studios has announced multiple shows that will either focus on new characters or those that previously have not starred in their own films.
This new era of the MCU is currently still slated to begin with Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl) return. As a result, these shows will not just give Marvel the opportunity to flesh out the stories of the series leads, but also other MCU characters who can appear in smaller roles.
Infusing the Marvel Disney+ shows with more MCU characters is something that has also been confirmed for Jimmy Woo (Randall Park), Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings), and Monica Rambeau - but as an adult played by Teyonah Parris. Not only could WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier include additional MCU characters, but the other Disney+ shows will likely feature even more. Here are some of the MCU characters who could appear in the Marvel Disney+ shows.
Hulk in She-Hulk
One of the most talked-about MCU characters who could appear in an Disney+ series is the return of Hulk in reports She-Hulk will follow a similar path. If this is the case, then Ruffalo returning as Hulk is likely necessary for the Disney+ series, even if it is just for a small role.
Nick Fury in WandaVision or Falcon & Winter Soldier
It is possible that Samuel L. Jackson will return as Nick Fury in multiple MCU Disney+ shows. When audiences last saw him at the end of SWORD has a role to play in WandaVision. This might allow Fury to make an appearance of some kind in either or both of the Disney+ shows.
Doctor Strange in WandaVision
With Scarlet Witch set to appear in and was cut from Endgame, so Marvel could elect to have this take place in WandaVision so Doctor Strange 2 can hit the ground running.
Captain Marvel in Ms. Marvel
Brie Larson's Captain Marvel is another MCU superhero who could make an appearance on Disney+ thanks to Captain Marvel 2. So, whether Kamala gets to meet Captain Marvel in the series or Ms. Marvel uses news reports to show footage of Carol saving the day, Larson is as likely a candidate as any MCU star to make a Disney+ cameo.
Hawkeye in WandaVision
Clint Barton and Wanda's friendship is one of the closest in the MCU, which is why Jeremy Renner could make a cameo in WandaVision. They've had a growing relationship since Hawkeye potentially.
Ant-Man in Hawkeye

Since she is being introduced in Hawkeye, an appearance by Ant-Man could help set up Kate and Cassie Lang (another Young Avenger member) meeting and then training with Ant-Man.

Thunderbolt Ross in Falcon & Winter Soldier or She-Hulk
Disney+ might also be where Thunderbolt Ross makes a significant return to the MCU. He's had multiple small roles in Phase 3 movies and will appear at the beginning of Phase 4 in rumors that Ross and his daughter Betty will return for She-Hulk, which makes complete sense given his obsessive history with Hulk. If another Hulk pops up, then Ross will undoubtedly want to learn more - possibly even setting the stage for him to become one himself.
