Ever since the Red Skull disappeared into space at the climax of The First Avenger, fans have been speculating about a potential return. Skull is one of Marvel’s biggest villains, and while they have a bad habit of wasting such characters, both his significance and the circumstances of his disappearance make it hard to believe that he’s truly gone for good.

An obvious outlet for a re-appearance would be his connection to the Tesseract. That Infinity Stone holds massive power and could easily explain him somehow reappearing in the present-day MCU. In order to justify such an appearance, he could potentially usurp Mephisto’s comic book role as a secondary antagonist to Thanos during Infinity War.

The actual scene in question could be as simple as having him magically appear from thin air, likely summoned by Thanos or some other villain with access to a Stone. Such a scene would accomplish more than just setting up a threat for the future, it would bring Cap back to his roots, expand the supernatural elements of the MCU and develop a character that fans still want to see more of.
