Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Trying to shoehorn Zemo back into the story seems like a bad idea. The whole point of the character was that he was a pure force of will and precise focus with absolutely no special powers...outside of the ability to build magic EMP's and utterly unbelievable Bucky prosthetics. But the point was that he was just an ordinary man who wanted the Avengers destroyed for what they did to him, and went about in a meticulously planned scheme to drive a wedge between them. Giving him new powers kind of robs that point, and just relegating him to a generic schemer seems wrong. Hell, thats just putting him into Lokis function.
Besides, you'd need other surviving villains for him to team up with. You've got Loki, but he doesn't want to cooperate with others, and...nobody else officially recognised by the MCU. Its been a bloodbath.
Source? Also, might this be a sign of the coming of the Mutan–
(Is shot at.)
(One bullet recovery later...)

I don't know, I feel like the MCU and marvel is really building up to a Masters of Evil plot. The villain team has been popping up everywhere recently and characters keep falling into place.
The roster still seems small though. You've got potentially Zemo, Abomination a suited Justin Hammer and Klau as the obvious ones. (Word is still out on whether The Enchantress is in Ragnarok, sounds like her character traits have been split between Hela and Valkyrie)
Honestly I don't think the team needs to be six people strong. The fascinating thing would be seeing a villain team in the MCU.

It's slight at best, it's more that I just really want it to be true: "Stark World Expo: Exceleration, Realities"
. Plus mentions (not from any reputable sources) about the Spider-verse, and Donald Glover being in the cast (Miles Morales from another universe would be awesome), and Doctor Strange opening the door on other dimensions as a thing. More hope than proof, I realize.
Tinkerer and Shocker, maybe? Probably not Michael Keaton, unless he's up for that kind of thing.

X6 Tom Holland was on the Got G set. Why would you need Spider-Man on set for a completely seperate movie if you're not establishing his one space-based enemy?
X5 I think you're confusing set up with didn't even care enough to kill. Abomination aside (and Marvel have kind of unanimously agreed to never talk about the Hulk solo movie ever again given how they haven't even given an explanation about where Liv Tyler is, don't count on him coming back) these guys don't have anything. Hammer was shown to have everything he ever made be a pile of shit and he only ever got rich through corruption, stealing from geniuses, and given how much that movie liked sucking off Atlas Shrugged, I'm gonna guess minimum wage laws, somehow. Zemo has already done his thing and has lost his anonimity, which was essential to both the characters point and to his scheme. Klaue mouthed off to Ultron and got left armless (I apologize for nothing).
These guys aren't a list of fearsome villains who are still out there and could be making a comeback, they're just the guys who weren't enough of a threat for the audience to care they weren't killed. Heck, half of them were just moronic patsies the real villains used to achieve their goals.
Marvel's complete lack of Hulk reference outside of Ross in C Ivil War isn't targeted specifically at the Hulk movie. It's because they can't (well, technically "won't") make further Hulk movies.
Actually, James Gunn said that he would love to make a Thunderbolts film — so when Phase 4 comes around, they might switch things up by having Gunn do a Thunderbolts film and someone else do Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 (Gunn hasn't said whether or not he's going to do it yet). It would be an interesting way to keep a writer/director as part of the MCU, but still keep them interested.
As I see no one has uploaded it.
VINCENT D'ONOFRIO want Kingpin Vs Spiderman
Taking into account that Spiderman is hundreds times stronger than the Kingpin, the role of kingpin could be a Non-Action Big Bad.

That's a shame. I really wanted Vin Diesel to be Black Bolt. Since only his voice is playing Groot, it seemed appropriate for everything but his voice to play Black Bolt.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.

Perhaps the masters of evil form trying to grab them (With Zemo playing a double game of actually wanting to destroy the stones and kill his villain team, but the avengers end up making his villain team too useful to him and he discards his morals.)
