And it seems, given his incredible intelligence, that Ultron could have concocted a better plan than picking up a piece of land and dropping it back down to earth. Casting Robert Redford , the hero of so many paranoid spy movies, as an undercover Nazi in a paranoid spy movie was a stroke of genius.
There are no shades of gray here, which makes Red Skull all the more dastardly. We wish Weaving had reprised the role in Infinity War , but sadly it was recast. Mads Mikkelsen has played some of the best villains in culture, from a Bond baddie to Hannibal Lecter himself. Keacilius measures up. He feels genuine betrayal when he discovers the Ancient One has wielded dark powers to maintain control. What a smart decision to make the original hero of the Avengers franchise the antagonist of a Captain America film.
But he is wrong about Bucky in this movie, and he locks up his friends in an underground prison. The fact that Civil War forced fans to choose between two beloved characters — and their understandable political perspectives — made the movie more interesting than it had any right to be. All praise Cate Blanchett, who, decked out in black armor and impeccable headgear, looks born to play a supervillain.
Hela just needs to have a blast as she tries to destroy our heroes. The few Marvel villains who stand out pull at the heartstrings of our heroes, and arguably nobody does that more than Bucky, who serves as the emotional core of two different Captain America movies.
Tom Hiddleston strikes the perfect balance between Shakespearean heft and comic book wit. And in a genre that can become predictable and rote, Loki always keeps fans guessing — about his allegiances, about his motivations and about his supposed deaths.
You simply cannot beat the sheer power of Thanos. With one snap, he destroyed half of all life in the universe. In fact, he is the only villain on this list who actually accomplished his goal and defeated the Avengers. But his motivations make him more than just a big purple strongman: His intentions — saving a universe running out of resources by sacrificing half of all life — are well-meaning but disturbingly misguided.
Write to Eliana Dockterman at eliana. Children of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. Or, they could work for Thanos disguised as the Avengers' fallen friends to mess with their emotions. Those who were wise enough to stick around after the credits of Avengers: Endgame know that Nick Fury and Maria Hill were both among the casualties of Thanos' snap. We don't, however, know the fate of another one of the Avengers' supervisors, General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross.
He doesn't exactly have the best relationship with several of the remaining Avengers, but they may need his and the government's help if they want to take down Thanos. Loki lost his life at the very start of Infinity War while trying to defy and eliminate Thanos, but that likely won't be the last we'll see of the beloved trickster.
It's highly unlikely he figured out a way to survive his termination, but leaked images from the set of Endgame make it pretty clear that he'll pop up in time travel or flashback sequences. Set images show the heroes who fought in the Battle of New York from Avengers all together and wearing the costumes they wore during that iconic moment in MCU history.
We're not sure what will make these characters relive that war against Loki and his Chitauri army, but if Endgame explores that epic fight, it's likely a villainous past version of Loki will reappear as well. It hasn't been made clear yet in the MCU whether or not The Grandmaster from Ragnarok and The Collector have any sort of connection with each other, but in the comics, the two powerful cosmic beings are brothers.
Thanos ended The Collector's life off-camera in Infinity War to procure the Reality Stone he was given by the Asgardians in the end credits of Thor: The Dark World, and some fans think the Grandmaster will try to avenge his sibling in the next film. Jeff Goldblum's wacky character was an instant fan-favorite, and since he has an assortment of battle-ready warriors from his Contest of Champions at his disposal, he could actually be a big help to the Avengers The Collector has yet to truly establish himself as a fearsome villain in the films in quite the same way as he's done in the comics, but the MCU version of the character has always made it clear that he's clever, crafty, and willing to do whatever it takes to survive and succeed.
Since he had the Reality Stone at his disposal before Thanos added it to his Gauntlet, it's possible that The Collector found some way to alter reality and survive Thanos' attack, and that he's simply waiting for the Avengers and Thanos to take each other out so he can reemerge and reign supreme.
As one of the powerful Elders of the Universe, it seemed strange that he was simply and seemingly easily eliminated off-screen. Fans shouldn't be surprised at all if the rumors of his return turn out to be true. Before Nebula and Gamora finally just stood face-to-face and acknowledged that their childhood rivalry was entirely Thanos' fault, Nebula was a major villain the MCU.
Luckily, the two "sisters" forgave each other in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. She joined some of the heroes on Titan in battling Thanos in an attempt to avenge Gamora and was the only person other than Tony Stark on that planet to survive Thanos' snap.
The trailers have shown that Nebula will join the Avengers in trying to take her adopted father out, but that doesn't mean she'll solely be a protagonist in the film. In a fit of rage, Ultron ended up cutting off one of Klaue's arms during their deal.
Ulysses Klaue was eventually killed by Killmonger in Black Panther. The role of Ulysses Klaue provided Andy Serkis with an opportunity to show his actual face on the screen. The titular villain of Avengers: Age of Ultron , Ultron was the result of Tony Stark's failed attempt to use the Infinity Stone from Loki's scepter to create an artificial intelligence program that would protect the earth. Ultron attempted to destroy humanity and was defeated by the Avengers but the fallout from their battle in Sokovia had a lasting impact on the MCU.
Ultron was voiced by veteran actor James Spader. The most prominent member of the Black Order was Ebony Maw, the telekinetic. It was the alternate timeline version of Ebony Maw that realized Nebula was from another timeline, putting the Avengers' plan in jeopardy in Endgame.
Cull Obsidian was the most physically intimidating member of the Black Order. His massive size and strength made him a dangerous opponent for the Avengers as he fought against them multiple times in Infinity War and Endgame. At that moment, the other figure half-turns and smiles, giving us a brief glimpse of who he is. In it, the godlike Thanos gets his hand on the titular item, a golden glove studded with six Infinity Gems that gives him immortality and omnipotence.
He uses that gift to slaughter half the universe, including tons of superheroes; when the remaining heroes travel into space to fight him, he kills all of them, too. Even the Avengers are creatively slaughtered, one by one.
