It would be nice to get a movie about a villain.

A bit similar to WandaVision in a way where we see a character that is the main focus of the film and by the end of the film, we see them make the choices that lead to them ultimately going down a path of villains and the next project is them being a big bad for many marvel heroes.

I mean Wanda wasn't an outright villain, but it would be interesting to see a character be given the choices to teeter on the good/bad side when by the end of the film, we see they have chosen the path of evil and wrong. Even if the audience may already know the character will be a villain by if they were in the comics per say.

Would help us feel connected to the character as well.

And when villains get well-rounded enough in the comics, they tend to turn into anti-heroes, because you start to understand their motivations and people tend to think they have good reasons for doing what they do.

People like Magneto, Doom, Venom comes to mind. And even Apocalypse recently.

Edboy7962025-10-25 15:37

Except look what happened to Apocalypse and Venom

Which Marvel villain could get a movie? Dr Doom is already gonna be he main character of Doomsday.

Maybe Magneto? That one was planned in the 2000s but eventually got merged into X-Men First Class.

Infinity War features the Avengers buuuut its a Thanos movie for sure

NoLeadership22812025-10-25 14:58

I feel like Infinity War is basically a Thanos movie

NoelCanter2025-10-25 15:02

Because it is.

legion_XXX2025-10-25 15:32

OP clearly hasnt seen this one.

aestheticdisasterr2025-10-25 15:15

So basically, what you want to see is an origin story, but for a villain. I think it could actually be quite interesting. Personally, I wouldn’t go for the classic live-action film format, but maybe something like the animated projects Marvel has been releasing this year, like Marvel Zombies or the Wakanda series. Something short but high quality. I think it could work; it’s a genre that definitely has an audience, although within Marvel specifically, I’m not sure how big that audience really is 🤷‍♀️

twoxtopia2025-10-25 15:17

Isn't the first Thor movie a villain introduction movie for Loki?

Plus-Persimmon-32692025-10-26 08:58

It's not even close to Loki's movie lol

BatmanForever232025-10-25 15:25

Thanos was the main character in Infinity War.

CherAli2025-10-25 15:25

A nova/thanos prequel movie would be cool

Majestic-Marcus2025-10-25 18:31

I think what we’re supposed to take away from Thanos and the Nova Corp is that he cake walked them. Easily.

I don’t think there’s a movie there. He arrived. They died. Done.

Infinity War starred Thanos, pretty much

gavinashun2025-10-25 17:45

Yea - more of this.

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-25 19:13

We’ve had a MCU movie about a villain. Unless you mean the villains name in the title

Think-State302025-10-25 22:02

Ive been saying for years that they need to make a Sinister Six movie and Reservoir Dogs should be the template Marvel should copy.

RevD19782025-10-26 00:17

I mean, Multiverse of Madness was about “villainess” Wanda and by the end of it Dr Strange isn’t painted as much of a saint either

Belteshazzar982025-10-26 00:49

You mean something like Agatha All Along?

addicted_to_trash2025-10-26 02:37

Yea this and Infinity war are great examples, the problem Marvel has is a lot of their villains are one note or just several shades of POS.

For example there's a Zemo comic where he travels through time via his bloodline, witnessing vile act after vile act, only to decide after that they were not terrible and cold hearted enough.

The Hood is a sympathetic guy, loves his mom, but then sells his soul to Crime & Dormamu to provide for her and his family.

Apocalypse has some great material to draw from in the Fall of X era, but ultimately lands on the route of survival of the fittest and death to the rest (humans).

I can't see Disney execs seeing any of these as "family friendly" entertainment ok to be marketed to impressionable youth.

r01-85062025-10-26 01:28

Doubtful though. See Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU): Morbius, Kraven, Venom.

aaiceman2025-10-26 03:40

Hulu’s Modok is in the same vein. Highly recommended.

kbean8262025-10-26 03:46

Conceptually, it’s a difficult ask for a COMIC BOOK villain. This person has to be the hero or at worst anti-hero of their own movie that ends with a turn but the turn has to make sense since we just spent this entire movie making them someone we root for. We saw how well Kraven and Morbius worked. Venom *is* an anti-hero from time to time, as is Morb, but Kraven is just a villain. I don’t want to root for the lesser terrible person I know becomes a worse terrible person.

devoid01012025-10-26 04:06

Thanos. Loki. Venom. Multiverse of Madness. Punisher…Bullseye in Daredevil has an extremely well executed origin with hours of screen time.

jmptx2025-10-26 04:58

Zemo

DigitalBackpack2025-10-26 07:24

Killmonger was as much a main character in Black Panther as T’challa. He even has the first line of the movie.

“Baba- tell me a story.. the story of home”

DatJellyScrub2025-10-26 10:15

I could kinda see Riri as being a villian for at least part of a future movie
