Make Use Of All The Awesome New Villains
Everyone is getting excited about all the new heroes that could be joining the MCU, but let’s spare a moment to think about all the amazing villains that are now up for grabs.
We’re not so much talking about the X-Men side of things here, as the likes of Magneto, Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister don’t usually crossover into the Avengers’ purview much in the comics. Instead we’re talking about all those antagonists that Fox had the rights to, as they have ties to the Fantastic Four, but were doing nothing with. Namely, the time-travelling Kang the Conqueror, Galactus the World Eater or Doctor Doom. Oh, and let’s not forget Taskmaster (who was partially caught up with Deadpool’s rights).
Each of these rank amongst the Avengers’ biggest threats ever and deserve a major role in the MCU going forward. In particular, Galactus would be a natural replacement for Thanos as Phase Four’s big bad. And imagine having a proper, comics-accurate Victor Von Doom on the big screen? The MCU’s always been known for its relatively weak villains, but this lot should wipe that criticism away for good.
Also, if they want to, Marvel could use this opportunity to play DC at their own game and introduce their own version of the Legion of Doom – the Cabal, featuring the likes of Norman Osborn, Doom, Loki and others.
