This is the ONLY choice for the MCU's "Next Thanos"

Spoilers for Captain Marvel

Spoilers for the future of the Marvel film universe ??

Eh … maybe.

The release of Captain Marvel last weekend set off a new wave of speculation about the future Avengers: Endgame from the Marvel film universe ,

The new series of enlightened badumptions is probably due to the unexpected curve that Brie Larson-starrer has thrown at close observers of the MCU – more or less removing the Skrull from the equation as the next great evil force [19659008] Before this weekend, the fans had many reasons to think that the Skrull were becoming a great ugly presence. They are one of the oldest, best known and most respected villains in Marvel Comic's history, and their powers are intrinsically cinematographic. For our part, Newsarama was convinced that in contemporary films, Marvel would seed a sleeping Skrull agent, already known to MCU fans

but a funny thing happened on the way to the Skrull secretly invading the Earth … Captain Marvel they do not seem interested or capable at all.

Based on the knowledge and expectations of comic book readers, Marvel Studios have cleverly managed to make us forget what lies ahead. , revealing that the Skrulls are simply a race of refugees chased by the Kree, with no apparent malice in their bones that change shape.

Of course, the film refers to another faction of Skrulls. there in the universe, but if Marvel Studios intends to introduce a more harmful or even a diabolical sect, they will not seize any opportunity in Captain Marvel and this is the studio famous for its advice sowing. A narrative goes on over the years. And it would be a strange change of direction if they did.

For our part, Newsarama is just about waiting for Talos to answer the call launched in the defeat of Thanos in Endgame .

But even if that does not happen, from Captain Marvel looks like Marvel's next Big Bad … if Marvel even has an upcoming Big Bad, it'll be somebody d & # 39; other.

But who?

Some speculations have turned to Supreme Intelligence, the invisible leader for the moment. the Kree. Populations sometimes blue, and sometimes not racial, have clearly been positioned as the greatest d *** ks in the Marvel Universe, although the public has not been motivated more by their threat than by their exaggerated belief in itself.

I've been there before, I've already done that with Ronan.

Marvel has also done a better job of introducing recent antagonists who are not just conquering nihilists of the world. Michael Keaton's vulture, for example, was simply an aggrieved businessman and a husband and father trying to make ends meet, albeit in a murderous and sociopathic manner.

Josh Brolin's Thanos was elevated from a more standard caricature cosmic despot during his first appearances. a much more nuanced presence in Infinity War . His mission was yes, twisted, but he had at least one internal rationalization and Brolin was turning it into a better-realized character through the motion capture process.

Perhaps the best recent example is Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger in Black Panther whose socio-political agenda focused less on the self than on a cause pushed to an extreme level.

Now, that Marvel Studios even tries to recreate the dynamics of Thanos-Infinity Stones after the Endgame remains to be seen. The shingle of Disney is probably the only Hollywood studio to have achieved the universe of shared series in the long run, and it is legitimate to wonder if they should even try to reproduce their own model. The final phase could be their opportunity to move forward in a different direction.

We risk having an MCU that is unrelated to a common element or villain, just because of the difficulty with which a future villain and / or conspiracy will succeed. capture the same success.

But if the next decade of franchising involves a common enemy, Marvel studios would probably be wiser to stay out of the cosmic realm to look for it.

Galactus, Annihilus, Supreme Intelligence – all of these characters will either pale or look too close to Thanos threat.

Kang, often suggested, travels more in time than the cosmic point, but to the extent that a distant future is at stake, they are not really different.

So, unlike another threat coming from another world, it would make sense to keep things closer to home and with a totally different flavor, while leaving open the possibility of having a good time. an implication of the cosmic properties of Marvel. [19659009] Earth, which in the CU M seems to be considered a sort of bottom-up planet that is of little importance (which may explain why some Infinity Stones were hidden there), quickly fits into the galactic scheme of things, which makes them all the more logical as the next big The potential threat to the universe should come from the Earth.

And once you start badembling these pieces of the puzzle, the choice becomes obvious …

We did not try to surprise you here.

Without doubt the largest supervillain of Marvel Comics (and almost universally considered among the top two or three), Doom also becomes the property of Marvel Studios at the end of the month.

Marvel has already laid the foundation for the fictional Eastern. European countries and given the history of the MCU, the transformation of Latveria into Sokovia should not be ruled out.

Yes, Captain America: Civil War from Zemo's Covere C is already a bit of that, but we are flexible here.

The ambition of Doom to go from the dictator of a small country to the dominion of the Earth to rule sometimes all the reality plays perfectly for The Growing Profile of the Earth in the universal pattern of things. It explores the three main sources of MCU power – super science / technology, magic and cosmic energy sources. And if he is indeed a conqueror determined to conquer the good, he also possesses a tragic background and an inner sense of nobility and ethics on which one can insist on making it a more three-dimensional adversary. .

It is plug-and-play for any direction Kevin Feige & co. want to go. You want to keep things more grounded and focused on the Earth for a change of pace – he is your man. Do you want to elevate the magic realms in the next big thing – he can go there too. I want him to threaten the whole universe again … again – not out of the question.

And fed up, Marvel Studios can use their newly recovered intellectual property to start fixing one of the most blatant wrongs of the Marvel movie – the terrible adaptations of Doom to which the fans were subjected in the films Fantastic Four .

How once, but twice, has anyone confused the powers of Doom with his powers The Fantastic Four's are a total mystery.

And of course, it goes without saying that where there is Doom, the FF will precede or follow, which is perhaps the most exciting thing for MCU fans when it comes to the acquisition of Fox-Disney. .

So here you are Marvel Studios, your next … if you decide so … Future phase unifying Big Bad.

Consider this one on us.
