MCU Villains May Return After Avengers: Secret Wars, According to ScreenRant
Speculation from ScreenRant suggests that several Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) villains, perceived as underutilized, could make a comeback. The publication points to factors like rushed deaths or one-dimensional stories as reasons for these characters being "wasted" in prior appearances. The upcoming "Avengers: Secret Wars" film is highlighted as a potential opportunity for their return, largely due to its anticipated multiversal reset capabilities.
ScreenRant has identified a category of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) villains who, in their assessment, did not fully realize their potential within the franchise. The publication suggests that some of these characters were "wasted" due to reasons such as a premature death, a simplistic narrative, or insufficient attention to their comic book origins. This contrasts with characters like Thanos, Killmonger, and Loki, who are noted as having been well-developed.
The prospect of a return for these underutilized villains is tied to the upcoming film, "Avengers: Secret Wars." ScreenRant postulates that this movie could rectify past creative choices.
The basis for this potential revival lies in the anticipated plot of "Avengers: Secret Wars." The film is expected to involve a "multiversal reset," a narrative device that could theoretically facilitate the reappearance of villains who have died or allow for a re-evaluation and "course-correction" of characters previously deemed misused. According to ScreenRant, this presents an opportunity for certain characters to receive a more substantial role.
