The reign of Thanos has not even ended yet and Marvel Studios is already up in arms trying to select the next big bad wolf of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It took 10 years of meticulous planning and execution to bring the Mad Titan into the movies. And all that effort paid off wonderful dividends. Thanos, played by Josh Brolin, was a massive hit amongst the fans and was really well received. But do not for even a second think that this is where the villain game of Marvel goes downhill.
If you think Thanos was evil, then you probably will never be ready for what is next in store for the Earth’s mightiest heroes. Marvel has already decided their new champion of evil to usurp Thanos’ throne and it is bad news for the Avengers. Presenting – Next MCU Super-villain after Thanos to terrorize the Avengers finally confirmed!!
For now, we are all unsure as to how the Avengers: Endgame story arc will end. But we are sure that the story will put an end to the menace of the purple megalomaniac that took down half of all life in the universe, for the better. With the departure of Josh Brolin’s Thanos, the MCU would be in some critical need of new evil for the Avengers to sharpen their claws with. And as usual, Marvel Studios has been always ten steps ahead of the game. Even before we knew it, Marvel had selected the next antagonist for the MCU.
With the Disney-Fox merger about to happen this year anytime now, Marvel could finally lay its hands on some much needed fresh faces. Apart from the fact that the merger will open the path for the X-Men and the Fantastic four to enter the MCU, it will also allow for the other related characters to become a part of the world’s most profitable movie franchise. The villains that were reserved typically for the X-Men and the Fantastic Four could now be featured in the MCU, which opens a door of infinite possibilities for Marvel to choose from.
But rest assured, it is not Doctor Doom or Galactus that we are talking about. The new villain of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next phase of movies will be none other than Kang the Conqueror!!
It has been reported that Marvel Studios is making attempts at bringing the time traveling super-villain Kang the Conqueror to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kang has yet to make his live-action debut in the big screens, which many believe will happen with the rumored Fantastic Four reboot. Or it might be the Young Avengers movie that Marvel Studios is supposedly making which will introduce the super-villain to the theatres.
With all the time-traveling shenanigans about to take place in Endgame, we are pretty sure the foundation would be laid out pretty well for Kang to step into the MCU. For the casual movie goers, Kang the Conqueror might be somewhat of an unknown name so we will help you get some information on the guy. Kang the Conqueror is a time-traveling super-villain hailing from the far future whose real name is Nathaniel Richards. He is a descendant of Mister Fantastic of the Fantastic Four, whom he regularly fights when they meddle with his attempts at conquering entire timelines by manipulating time itself.
Aided by the Council of Kangs (each Kang of a different timeline has managed to conquer his/her own reality and now advise Kang on how to conquer his own), Kang the Conqueror is a force to be reckoned with. Moreover, with the Ant-Man and the Wasp movie showing the secret city within the quantum Realm, there is a high possibility Marvel has already initiated a chain of events for the villain to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The last Marvel movie to be released under the Disney banner is Captain Marvel. The movie is currently in theatres. The official film synopsis for the movie reads:
Captain Marvel is an extraterrestrial Kree warrior who finds herself caught in the middle of an intergalactic battle between her people and the Skrulls. Living on Earth in 1995, she keeps having recurring memories of another life as U.S. Air Force pilot Carol Danvers. With help from Nick Fury, Captain Marvel tries to uncover the secrets of her past while harnessing her special superpowers to end the war with the evil Skrulls.
