Avengers: Secret Wars
Summary
Avengers : Secret Warshas the opportunity to make for back some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ’s most missed and underused characters , possibly resulting in an even big blockbuster event thanAvengers : Endgame . Not slat to release until 2027 , what light details that are know aboutAvengers : Secret Warssuggest the film will conform the Marvel comic event of the same name . The originalSecret Warssaw the introduction of an all - powerful cosmic being , The Beyonder , pitting heroes and villain against each other within the confines of the alien planet , Battleworld .
In the comedian , The Beyonder utilise his astonishing power to convey together hero and scoundrel from far and wide in guild to follow them duke it out , with the ultimate prize being the ability for the winners to make regard at the Beyonder ’s behest . It ’s unclear if the MCU will utilize the Beyonder , perhaps instead centering the conflict around acataclysmic hit of universes orchestrated by Kang . Either way , the plot promise the ability for Marvel to recycle sleeping characters whose getting even has been hotly previse , perhaps creating the enfranchisement ’s single biggest event yet .
9Ulysses Klaue
Andy Serkis' delightful villain performance deserves a second chance
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has long had a problem with maintain threatening scoundrel , with many of the dealership ’s antagonists either being developing or killed off far too soon . While Ulysses Klaue may have been overshadowed inBlack Pantherby Michael B. Jordan ’s splendid performance as Eric Killmonger , he was an endlessly watchable scene - chewing scoundrel who merit more screen time . Considering the comedian ' character he was based off of , Klaw , has a oddly high profile in the originalSecret Warsrun , it might behoove the MCU to bring Klaue back .
8Ronan The Accuser
Secret Wars' off-world setting could spell the return of the Kree warlord
An highly dangerous villain in the comedian , Ronan the Accuser was off all too soon in his first appearance inGuardians of the Galaxy , stand a humiliating defeat after being distracted by Star - Lord ’s saltation skill . Ronan ’s overall lack of personality and punchline of a loss to the Guardians did n’t do his comic counterpart justice . ConsideringAvengers : Secret Warsis likely to bring the Avengers back into spaceonce more , there might not be a good metre to save Ronan as a actual menace .
7Quicksilver
Pietro deserved better than he got in Age of Ultron
There was a detail in clip in which Quicksilver ’s cameo inWandaVisionwas prophesied to usher the X - Men into the MCU , bridging the gap between universe of discourse . Now that theX - adult male have formally enter the MCUwithout his help , Quicksilver deserve some repurchase in the MCU , peculiarly Aaron Taylor - Johnson ’s version , which did n’t get much of a chance to shine as a Hero of Alexandria before being unceremoniously gunned down by Ultron ’s lagger . It could be interesting to see Pietro ’s response to what became of his sis , and how he would interact with the Avengers once again ten age subsequently .
6The Mandarin
Wenwu’s redemption arc is worth re-examining
Another of Marvel Comics ' most intimidating scoundrel that was erroneously introduced and killed off within the quad of a single movie , The Mandarin ’s replication could go in many unlike interesting directions . His redemption at the remainder of Shang - Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings could be followed through , interacting with the new iteration of the Avengers who may be weary to take his supporter . What could be more bewitching would be keep an eye on him fall back into his older villainous habits thanks to the influence of other adversary like Kang in Battleworld .
5Scarlet Witch
Considering Wanda wasn’t technically defeated, her return could be the most threatening
Scarlet Witch ’s arc in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has largely been open and shut , going from villain to hero to villain again before in the end piss a modification of kernel , redeeming herself via sacrifice . What ’s important to note , however , is the fact that Wanda Maximoff was n’t technically vote out – She made the choice to defy her own destiny as the Scarlet Witch . Because of this , her income tax return as the only villain in MCU to technically never be defeated could make her refund the biggest threat forthe new Avengersto make out with .
4Dormammu
Bargaining might not help against the cosmic conqueror
With only one minuscule appearance in the firstDoctor Strange , Dormammu is one of the most powerful remaining villains in the MCU yet to make a return after being teased , still presumably held within the Dark Dimension . The introduction of his niece , Clea , in the post - credits scene ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesssuggests the ancient entity could still be looming on the horizon , and his return inAvengers : Secret Warswould be sure to sprain heads . Dormammu could take Galactus ' role in the originalSecret Warscomic , should the franchise not desire to introduce the human race devourer too quickly .
3Ultron
The MCU’s single most underused villain deserves a dangerous return
Ever since his anticlimactic death in his titular filmAvengers : Age of Ultron , even unswerving MCU fans have decry the series ' waste of Ultron as an overarching villain , mourning the wrong end of the automaton overlord . What If … ?proved just how slap-up of a threat Ultron could be if allowed to develop , and James Spader ’s excellent public presentation as the megalomaniac automaton deserves to bring the same Energy Department to the live - natural process films . TheSecret Warscomic featured Ultron heavily , and considering the mass of direction to excuse his coming back as a sentient A.I. , re - introduce Ultron seems like a no - brainer .
2Steve Rogers
Time travel shenanigans could excuse Captain America’s reappearance
The torch of Captain America may have been definitively passed to Sam Wilson , but there ’s no deny that the return of Chris Evans ' Steve Rogers would do numeral for the Marvel Cinematic Universe . While the eccentric is n’t presently dead , his onetime eld is far from suited for the heroicsAvengers : Secret Warswould require . alternatively , his presence could be justify as a stop along his time - traveling journeying to repay the stolen Infinity Stones to their rightful blank space in the cosmos , giving the character one last hurrah before being formally retired .
1Iron Man
If Marvel can pull it off, the return of their flagship character would be truly epic
Thereturn of Robert Downy Jr. ’s Iron Manhas been a hotly debated rumor molest the MCU in the wake of their late underwhelming yr . Iron Man ’s sendoff inAvengers : Endgamewas an improbably affecting end to both the role player and the reference ’s arc through the serial , and risking undoing all that with an appearing inAvengers : Secret Warswould be a big gamble . But if theMCUcould see a path to pull off a re - appearance of Iron Man respectfully , it would undoubtedly be a bigger event than evenAvengers : Endgame .
