15 Fantastic Four Villains Who Could Be The Next Big Bad Of The MCU

Without reopening old wounds, the Negative Zone should quickly be established in the MCU soon after the Fantastic Four arrive. This dimension plays into the plot of numerous major comic storylines, including acting as a prison during the Civil War event.

How could a dimension act as a big bad? Simple - make it a McGuffin.

When Loki opened a portal in Avengers, Tony Stark and the rest of the world rightly freaked out. Stark's decisions from then until Endgame were made in an effort to prevent such an event from ever happening again. Wouldn't those who survived the Snap be just as reactive should an opening to the Negative Zone appear?

This realm is home to many Fantastic Four villains like Blastaar and Occulus, and while their arrival could seem like the next major threat to Earth, the Negative Zone may just be a ruse to lure heroes into a trap.

Imagine if, as the Avengers and Fantastic Four take the fight to those attempting to crossover from the Negative Zone, they are instead trapped there. Perhaps a certain Latveria ruler opened the portal specifically to remove these heroes from Earth.
