Marvel Studios might have a herculean task ahead of them in trying to fill Thanos’ shoes (New Balance?) and providing fans with a new long-arc big boss for the Avengers (and those Avengers adjacent) to battle, but let’s not forget that the MCU’s three Phases weren’t built by the Mad Titan alone. No, they were built on the backs of Iron Mongers, Killmongers, and many other mongers who squared off against the good guys in one-and-done adventures that helped our heroes level up.
So while names like Galactus, Kang, and even Doctor Doom are being thrown around as possible long-term baddies for Phase 4 and beyond, we thought we’d shuffle through a few mid-card villains and see which ones would be awesome to see in a live-action, if one-off setting. Because not only do we have the upcoming movies (which now could bring in the Fantastic Four and X-Men), but there’s also the Disney+ direct-connect Marvel Studios shows – Loki, WandaVision, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (which is bringing back Daniel Bruhl’s Zemo) – and two new Hulu series feturing Ghost Rider and Daimon Hellstrom.
