1. Infinity War Will Pave The Way For Horror In The MCU

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been through several 'phases' so far, each with their own themes and debuting heroes.

Technology and mysticism have been explored deeply, but the MCU will be forever changed after the third Avengers movie, and it makes sense for it to incorporate darker elements.

Adding horror to the equation will differentiate the post-Infinity War universe from what came before, and there are dozens of characters in Marvel's canon that could bring it.

Vampire hunter Blade is overdue a comeback, and his reintroduction could pave the way for an appearance in a future Spider-Man sequel, pitting him against Morbius.

Marvel also holds the rights to Ghost Rider, having used the Robbie Reyes incarnation of the Spirt of Vengeance in the Agents of Shield TV show. How about bringing Johnny Blaze home and doing him justice this time?

With its universe-breaking potential and physical embodiment of death, Infinity War is bound to take the MCU a darker place, so the House of M should start rolling out those horror characters hot on its heels.
