10 Villains Who Need To Appear In The MCU

10. Carnage

If Marvel Studios are looking to avoid re-treading old ground or provoking comparisons to Sony’s Spider-Man franchise (and the inclusion of The Vulture as Spider-Man: Homecoming’s villain strongly implies this), then they may need to dig a little deeper into Peter Parker’s rogues gallery. If they don’t want a rehash of the Venom story-line from Spider-Man 3, then why not rope in Venom’s redder, angrier symbiotic pal?

Carnage is a great way to incorporate some neat, sticky CGI and practical effects into a movie, but he also serves as an interesting polar opposite to Spider-Man. If Peter Parker is a charming, mild-mannered intellectual who uses his powers for the good of the community, then Carnage is a torturous, psychotic murderer whose mind and body are themselves being used by an otherworldly parasite.

Carnage would feel right at home in a sequel to Homecoming, perhaps as Peter begins to discover the trials and tribulations that come with adulthood, and struggles to cope with the magnitude of his Avenger-battling and potential space-faring exploits.

Oh yeah, and Carnage can also create weapons using his symbiote powers, opening up the possibility for a whole range of T-1000-esque scenarios to play out.
