10 Awesome New Characters To Expect In MCU Phase 4

3. Dormammu

Without venturing in to the ridiculousness of the truly cosmic entities in the Marvel universe, very few characters could follow Thanos as the "big bad" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and actually live up to the threat he posed to the heroes - Dormammu, however, is certainly one who could do that. The Faltine demon is an incredibly powerful character and introducing him in Phase 3 as the first villain the live action Doctor Strange faces would be silly (it's more likely to be Baron Mordo). However, if there's a Doctor Strange sequel, Dormammu could emerge as a threat, not only to the sorcerer, but to the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. The power Dormammu possesses dwarfs that of Strange's - and indeed the entire roster of heroes currently on show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - and he is around the same level on the power scale as Thanos is. The difference is, he's a mystical character that would fit in well if, as expected, the franchise takes a supernatural turn and he would provide a completely different type of threat to the Mad Titan. He would also look absolutely fantastic on screen and he wouldn't be difficult to introduce once the Doctor Strange movie establishes the existence of other dimensions. In the comic books, he has fought Doctor Strange and the Avengers, played a game of cosmic chess with Odin and teamed with Loki - all of which could potentially happen in a movie.
