* Season Seven: The Chronicoms, led by their Predictor Sibyl, are an alien race who lost their planet to Izel. After serving as a secondary threat in the previous season, they now aim to conquer Earth as their new homeworld by using TimeTravel to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. before it can mount a defense against them, forcing the modern-day S.H.I.E.L.D. (aided by Fitz's ally Enoch [[spoiler:and a Chronicom LMD-[[BrainUploading revived]] Phil Coulson]]) to follow the Chronicoms into the past. Their interference in history also draws in members of HYDRA (primarily the Malick family), whose forces collectively become TheHeavy after the Chronicoms decide to form a BigBadDuumvirate with them:

* ''Film/IronMan3'': Aldrich Killian is the mastermind behind A.I.M. and the Extremis SuperSoldiers, setting up actor Trevor Slattery as the anti-American terrorist known as "The Mandarin" so he can manipulate the War on Terror and sell his technology to the U.S. government.

Will Simpson is a secondary antagonist as a victim of Kilgrave who develops a KnightTemplar attitude toward stopping him.

The second MythArc of the MCU focuses both on a younger generation of heroes arising within the MCU and chaos erupting beyond it, bringing in a wide menagerie of vile villains from across the multiverse.

* ''Series/{{Loki|2021}}'' (Season 1): [[spoiler:"He Who Remains" is a [[AlternateSelf variant]] of Characters/KangTheConqueror and the founder of the Time Variance Authority, responsible for pruning alternate timelines to prevent the emergence of his malevolent counterparts]]. Judge Ravonna Renslayer tries to keep up TheMasquerade after the Time-Keepers are exposed as fake figureheads, but is gradually sidelined in Loki and Sylvie's hunt for the true founder.

* ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'': [[Characters/MCUGreenGoblin The Green Goblin]], [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy Doctor Octopus, Sandman]], [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries Lizard, and Electro]][[note]]along with an oblivious [[Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse Venom]] [[/note]] are displaced from their original universes after a botched spell to obscure Spider-Man's exposed identity. Peter tries to cure them of their powers to prevent their respective fates after stopping [[HeroAntagonist Doctor Strange]] from sending them back to their universes to die, but [[spoiler:[[JekyllAndHyde Norman's Goblin persona]] quickly [[SplitPersonalityTakeover reasserts control]] after Octavius is saved from the control of his arms and convinces the other three to refuse their treatments.

* ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder'': [[Characters/MCUGorrTheGodButcher Gorr the God Butcher]] is an alien being who despises all gods for their hubris and apathy towards mortals after meeting his god, Rapu, and becoming disillusioned after witnessing his apathy towards Gorr and his fellow followers' suffering, including [[TragicVillain his daughter's death]], and seeks to butcher the lot of them using his [[BlackSwordsAreBetter pitch-black]], [[ImmortalBreaker deity-slaying]] blade, the Necrosword, which lured him in as a host and corrupted him. To this end, [[spoiler:he captures Asgardian children to force Thor to give up Stormbreaker so it can let him reach the godlike Eternity, a being who he can convince to do the task in an entire instant rather than, like Thanos, hunting each god down one by one, per the advice of the Necrosword, forcing Thor, who has reunited with a now-empowered Jane, to open his heart to love again.]]

* ''Film/AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania'': [[Characters/MCUKangTheConqueror Kang the Conqueror]] who, after being exiled to the Quantum Realm by his variants, seeks the help of Scott Lang to retrieve the Multiversal Power Core to his ship, which will allow him to traverse the multiverse and escape the subatomic world so he can get revenge on his variants by destroying their timelines.

* ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'': The head of HYDRA, Johann Schmidt (aka [[Characters/MCURedSkull The Red Skull]]), betrays the Third Reich with plans to TakeOverTheWorld for himself, empowered by a FlawedPrototype of the Super-Soldier Serum that Captain America is empowered by.

* ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}'': [[Characters/MCURonanTheAccuser Ronan the Accuser]], a Kree fanatic who wants to destroy his race's longtime enemies, the Xandarians, by acquiring the Orb, having also killed Drax's family in the past.

While they're technically [[TheHeavy in service]] to [[GreaterScopeVillain Thanos]], the Titan barely shows up and the two ultimately [[TheStarscream turn on him]] once Ronan gets the Power Stone from the Orb. A group of Ravagers lead by Yondu Udonta, who abducted Star-Lord from Earth when he was a child, also pursue him for the Orb and places the bounty on him that ropes Rocket and Groot into getting involved, only to later form an EnemyMine with the Guardians of the Galaxy to stop Ronan.

* ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'': Sokovian Colonel [[Characters/MCUBaronHelmutZemo Helmut Zemo]] manipulates the Avengers against each other, having lost his family to Ultron and seeking to destroy the A.I.'s creators for revenge. He does so by framing Winter Soldier for the murder of King T'Chaka, pitting Black Panther against him while motivating Captain America to prove his innocence. Iron Man is the DragonInChief for Thunderbolt Ross' attempts at enforcing the [[SuperRegistrationAct Sokovia Accords]], passed following an encounter with Brock Rumlow (the former commander of S.T.R.I.K.E. within S.H.I.E.L.D. and another of HYDRA's moles) that ends in multiple Wakandans being blown up, until he goes rogue in the final act and tries to kill Bucky after Zemo exposes him as the assassin HYDRA sent to kill Tony's parents, finally [[TheBadGuyWins enabling Zemo to split the Avengers]].

* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'': [[Characters/MCUEgoTheLivingPlanet Ego the Living Planet]], Peter's Celestial father who wants to use his son to consume all life and become a Living Universe, having been the one who sent Yondu to retrieve him (until Yondu decided to raise Peter himself after learning that Ego killed his other children). He was also the one who raised Mantis, the Guardians' newest member. Ayesha and the Sovereign are secondary threats as a [[CantArgueWithElves haughty alien race]] that Rocket provokes after the Guardians retrieve Nebula from her, hiring Yondu's Ravagers faction to hunt them down after Stakar Ogord banishes them for what Yondu did. Taserface also tries to make a name for himself by pulling a mutiny on Yondu, who manages to at least catch Rocket and Groot, [[BigBadWannabe though it doesn't go well for him]]. Of these, Ego's threat is so strong that Nebula and what remained of Yondu's faction (Yondu himself and Kraglin Obfonteri) ally with the Guardians to defeat Ego.
* ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'': [[Characters/MCUVulture The Vulture]] (aka Adrian Toomes) was the head of a salvaging company run out of business by Stark and now leads his scavengers in turning advanced technology into weapons for the criminal underworld.

* ''Film/ThorRagnarok'': [[Characters/MCUHela Hela]], Odin's eldest child who had once conquered the Nine Realms for Asgard before being [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoned]] for her sociopathic bloodlust. Escaping after her father's death, she now [[MultiversalConqueror wants to continue where she left off]], destroying Thor's hammer Mjolnir. Skurge the Executioner and [[SavageWolves Fenris]] are her CoDragons, the former later turning against her to make a last stand protecting the Asgardians, while the Grandmaster is a DiscOneFinalBoss as the ruler of Sakaar who forces Thor into becoming a gladiator, where Thor also meets up with Hulk, Valkyrie, and Korg. Thor once again teams up with Loki, who initially sides with Grandmaster, in order to confront Hela and channel his innate ability to manipulate lightning ''without'' a weapon.

[[Characters/MCUUlyssesKlaue Ulysses Klaue]], a mercenary and long-time enemy of Wakanda who collaborated with N'Jobu in his treason as well as being the one who earlier provided Ultron with the Vibranium for his body, is the main antagonist for the first half of the movie before Killmonger kills him in order to gain entrance into the country.

* ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'': [[Characters/MCUTheMandarin Xu Wenwu]] is TheHeavy as the master of the titular Ten Rings and Shang-Chi's immortal [[ArchnemesisDad father]].
