So many... Let's start with heroes. Moon Knight is personally one of my favorites, but I feel like he works better in the grittier tv world. Black Knight and Hercules would both be fantastic for a team up with Thor, but there is already plenty of material for Thor movies without bringing them in. Namor is at some point a must, and I see him in Black Panther 2, should the first be a success. (There's too much material to cover in Wakanda for number 1.) Finally, Adam Warlock is a must, but it seems likely that GotG2 will finally bring him in.

Okay the X-men and fantastic four seem futile, but I'll go over it anyway. Keep in mind most of this is just wishful thinking, I don't expect much of it too happen. Obviously they would all be great in the MCU, but let's keep it to bare minimums. Deadpool is required in the MCU at some point, I don't care about rights. If any of the x-men need to join the MCU it's Wolverine. I would give the world a hug if Hugh Jackman left the Fox X-men only to play him for Marvel, but yeah, wishful thinking. In terms of F4, they're actually the most likely to be seen in the MCU. The F4 reboot crashed and burned, so Fox has lost momentum with them. If the sequel fails to the rights will likely revert back to Marvel. That would make me happy.

Now onto villains. First up, I need to see Taskmaster. Now taskmaster is a huge and popular villain, but I feel like he would work best in a tv series. Specifically, the defenders. He would be a great initial defenders threat, forcing them to unite. Moving on, Daredevil season 2 seems plenty full with Elektra and Punisher, but season 3 will need another villain, and Bullseye would fill the spot perfectly. He's too classic to keep out of Daredevil forever.

Let's move on into the actual movies. The problem with looking at villains is that you can't have too many or it seems crowded. All the way up until Infinity War has plenty of villains. But after Infinity War, what happens then? Thanos has likely been defeated and everything the MCU has been building up to is gone. What now? Obviously there's plenty of room for villains. Now first up Doctor Doom, as one of my all time favorite characters, has to be added in. I know his rights are currently at Fox, but again, that might change soon. Obviously he has already been used for an F4 movie, so I feel he should be used somewhere else. The obvious choice is as the villain of Avengers 4. He would be a great way to show the Avengers they are still needed after Infinity War. On the other hand, Kang the conqueror is also another great option for Avengers 4, but again, his rights are at Fox. Galactic is the easiest way to introduce a big threat after Thanos, and a great way to add in Silver Surfer and Fantastic Four, should the rights change. He could easily act as the Thanos of MCU part two. A Kree-Skrull war would also be fantastic. Possibly triggered by another villain.

There are just too many characters out there. I'm glad it's not my job to choose.
