Marvel has had a lot of villains in their movies. There have been villains from Thanos to Killmonger. Some are more overpowered than others. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. Despite all the villains that Marvel has introduced into the universe, there are a lot of controversial villains that haven't been shown just yet.
Knull:
There is a movie that has just come out on Thursday October 25,2024 called Venom Last Dance. It pits venom against some rival symbiotes for another time. In the trailer, there is this moment where it is completely dark and then you see this creature with long gray hair bring their head up. This is Knull the god of the symbiotes in marvel. His first appearance in comics is Thor:God of Thunder #6 but many more people know him from the king in black storyline. He wields a sword and armor made out of symbiotes and controls every symbiote. You might be wondering why I am including this villain in a list of villains that we want to see in movies if he is already going to be in a movie? Here is the thing about Knull. In marvel, he is an overpowered being who almost destroyed the earth. He is a little too overpowered for venom alone to fight. With the cliffhanger left after venom 2, it begs the question. What will Sony do with him?
Dr Doom:
In a comic con in 2024, marvel fans exploded with the news that Robert Downey Jr is coming back to the Marvel universe as Doctor Doom. Doctor Doom is one of the most accomplished villains in the marvel comicverse, beating an extraterrestrial demon named mephisto in a fight, and making his own world that he was the ruler of. Marvel has announced that in 2026 they are making two new Avengers movies which are called Avengers Doomsday and Avengers Secret wars. Each of them are going to be centered around Doctor Doom. Lots of fans want to see Doctor Doom be an absolute menace and even kill a few characters off. Many fans also want and expect Doctor Doom to do crazy stuff. I can’t wait to see how much of a villain he will be.
Morlun:
There have been two sony movies about the Spider Verse already. Each of them have been focused around Miles Morales and his character arc. Now I doubt it will happen in the Sony verse, seeing how they have already built up to the next spider verse movie but what I would like to see is a movie based on the original spider verse comic centered around the inheritors. The inheritors are vampires for spider men and live to beat them. The famous one is Morlun having been in multiple Spiderman comics and Spiderman almost died trying to beat him. Almost. Ultimately in the main spider verse story line the inheritors up their hunt and go for every spider forcing them to team up and beat them. Will we see that, we will have to wait.
Conclusion:
To sum it up, the villains, Knull, Dr Doom and Morlun are villains that big marvel fans are really looking forward to seeing these villains in movies, whether they are planned to be in a movie, made a brief cameo or just wishful thinking. Maybe if the studios get their act together, these three villains can be really good in movies.
