In this article, we have discussed some of the main characters in the TV show Chicago PD, who can play their respective roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Hank Voight (Nick Fury)

The character of Hank Voight is portrayed by Jason Beghe in the series Chicago PD. He is working as the chief of the intelligence unit of the Chicago PD. As he is playing the role of a leader so, the role of Nick Fury would suit him perfectly. Hank is an expert not only in giving orders but also in going the extra mile in order to make sure if his people are safe. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, everyone does not agree with the tactics of Nick Fury, but still, obey him. Similarly, Hank Voight also may not be the perfect one by some means but he is one of the best candidates who have great potential to lead a team.

Jay Halstead (Winter Soldier)

Senior Detective Jay Halsted is another famous character in the show Chicago PD, portrayed by Jesse Lee Soffer. He is a former Army Ranger and a confident man about his abilities. No doubt that Jay has a similar look as Captain America, but he would not be a perfect choice for playing the role of Steve Rodgers because Jay can do anything to bend the law. Thus, the role of the Winter Soldier would be the best role for Jay Halstead. It is because Bucky Barnes started as a good guy but later was brainwashed and he became a killer. In the same way, Jay is a good guy but can go beyond his limits anytime.

Kim Burgess (Black Widow)

Kim Burgess is a character in Chicago PD, which is portrayed by Marina Squerciati. This character is quite similar to the Black Widow of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kim has been shown as one of the strongest ladies in Chicago PD. She has lost her child, has been beaten, and even shot in her line of duty but still she setbacks and is still going strong on her duties. She is also very empathetic to victims. Natasha is also a kind-hearted woman and an important part of the team Avengers in the MCU. In this way, the character of Black Widow would be perfect for Kim Burgess.

Antonio Dawson (Iron Fist)

The character of Antonio Dawson is portrayed by Jon Seda in the series Chicago PD. The problem with Antonio is that he just cannot get out of his own way. He is extremely relatable with Danny Rand. Antonio is sent first in order to bring down Voight, but instead of bringing him down, Antonio juggled the role of dedicated team member and informant. He also has a dark past and is perfect to play the character of Iron Fist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Kevin Atwater (Thor)

Kevin Atwater is one of the most famous characters on the show Chicago PD and portrayed by LaRoyce Hawkins. Kevin would fit perfectly in the role of Thor because of his physical appearance. Kevin also belongs to the same environment that puts him in an awkward situation and he often protects that. Similarly, Thor is banished from his birthplace Asgard but he has to return in order to save Asgard. In this way, Atwater would be the perfect choice to play the role of Thor.
