With only a few months left before MCU’s Doctor Doom unleashes doom on the Avengers, the anticipation is rising with each passing moment, especially after the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It seems to be a wonderful year for MCU fans with multiple projects lined up in the upcoming period.

Though for the time being, the focus is on Doctor Doom, who is going to be one of the most formidable antagonists of the MCU, many viewers are already speculating about the future. Here are 5 Marvel villains who could become the next villains after Doctor Doom.


5 Marvel villains with the possibility of reshaping the MCU after Doctor Doom

1) Annihilus

The aspect of using the cosmic control rod as the source of power could be depicted in a distinct manner if this MCU villain is brought to life after Doctor Doom. Through Annihilus, the doors to explore the details of the Negative Zone would be an intriguing aspect for the franchise, along with the fans.

From being a formidable antagonist of the Fantastic Four to the elaborate backstory of the character, each and every aspect of this villain would enhance the overall appeal of the storyline and could undeniably become the next grim villain.


2) Magneto

Though Magneto will be present in Doomsday, many viewers wonder if an upcoming MCU project could solely focus on Magneto being the villain. It cannot be denied that Magneto is a layered character; hence, depicting him as the primary villain will definitely create an intense threat.

It can be understood that Marvel is trying to shift its focus to X-Men; hence, bringing this intense villain back would set the stage for many complications after Doctor Doom.


3) Molecule Man

In the MCU, the multiverse has become a crucial aspect of the storyline. Hence, after Doctor Doom, bringing in Molecule Man as the next big villain would undoubtedly create a huge opportunity to explore more of the multiversal storyline.

The aspect of being able to control matter itself depicts Molecule Man as an intense character. In the trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, the viewers are able to witness the immense power that Doctor Doom holds, and Molecule Man’s power could become the perfect next step for the franchise.


4) The Beyonder

It cannot be denied that an intrigue regarding the back story of the Beyonder is already present among the fans of the franchise, creating appeal to a wider audience. With immense power to destroy galaxies and create battlegrounds, the Beyonder’s powers to alter even the reality itself prove how dangerous the character can be as the next villain.

There is also the possibility of the Beyonder getting introduced in Avengers: Secret Wars, which is set to release next year.


5) Diablo

It cannot be denied that Doctor Doom sets the stage with a magical presence, and it can be further enhanced with Diablo becoming the next villain with the ability to reshape the upcoming projects of the franchise.

Diablo’s distinct storyline with the Fantastic Four could pave the way for future storylines after Doctor Doom. Unlike modern warfare, which has become prevalent in the Marvel universe, Diablo brings forth his reliance on ancient experiments, which help him reign over his followers.

Avengers: Doomsday will primarily shed light on Doctor Doom wreaking havoc, which leads to the heroes from all across the worlds joining hands to fight against this dangerous power. Robert Downey Jr. takes on the role of Doctor Doom in this movie.

The movie is set to release on December 18 this year. The trailer of the movie is already out, where the immense power that Doctor Doom wields is depicted, setting the stage for an intense, action-packed movie.
