It turns out the MCU is actually pretty terrifying, as Marvel fans share their favorite scary moments

Lewis Pullman as "Bob" in Thunderbolts.

The MCU is a bundle of superhero movies and shows, but, according to Marvel fans, it's also full of some pretty creepy moments.

On Reddit, fans of the MCU have come together to share their picks for terrifying moments in the Marvel universe, and their choices have sent shivers down our spines.

"For me, it was Darren Cross' unceremonious murder of Frank in ANT-MAN. Instantly reduced to a small bloody goop then flushed down the toilet? shudder," says the OP.

"The Void turning people into shadows… lowkey eldritch horror" says one reply, with another person adding: "The moment with the little girl drew gasps from the theatre I was in." This is a moment in Thunderbolts, where Bob, AKA Sentry (AKA the Void), turns a young girl into a shadow imprint on the ground.

"Miss Minutes in Loki smiling with joy as a TVA agent gets crushed by the cube thing," says someone else, while another fan says: "The opening scene of Hawkeye and his family in Endgame"

"Might just be me, but Josh Gad not reappearing out again from DeMarr/Doorman at the end of Ep. 4 of Wonder Man (S1). I genuinely thought DeMarr threw him up. That and the thought of someone getting stuck halfway through entering him freaked me out a bit…" is another fan's thoughts.

"Scarlet Witch appearing from the red fog and snapping Professor X's neck... that was almost a jump scare," says another person, referring to a scene in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Wanda is the source of more than one scary moment, too: "The scene in Wandavision when Vision was standing behind Wanda, and when she turned around she saw the corpse she'd been puppeting instead of the homely facade she maintained for him made me jump a bit."

Next up for Marvel is The Punisher: One Last Kill, which will follow Daredevil: Born Again season 2. Spider-Man: Brand New Day lands this July 31.
