7 MCU Villains Who Could Become Heroes In Upcoming Movies & Shows
There are several Marvel Cinematic Universe villains that can get their redemption arc in the near future and become heroes in the Multiverse Saga. Marvel Studios has officially kicked off Phase 5 of its storytelling with Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania. The film not only brings back Team Ant-Man but also properly introduces Kang the Conqueror. Set to be the next big bad in the MCU after Thanos, the villain will fight the Avengers in Destin Cretton's Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Earth's Mightiest Heroes may get some assistance from familiar faces that some of them have battled in the past.
Marvel Studios wasn't always known for great bad guys, although Phase 4 somehow solved MCU's villain problem by introducing compelling ones such as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' Wenwu and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's Namor. The Infinity Saga had some great antagonists with Erik Killmonger and Thanos, but both had limited time in the MCU. Only Loki has been given the chance to redeem himself by continuously developing his arc. Given how popular the God of Mischief has become, it isn't outside the realm of possibility that they will be keener in vindicating some of their newer villains.
