10 Marvel Villains For Phase 4 (And Who Should Play Them)

3. Kraven The Hunter (Gerard Butler)

With Tom Holland€™s Spider-Man set to join the MCU during Phase 3, it€™s certain that we€™ll get to see more webslinging antics in Phase 4. You can€™t imagine that Marvel Studios will want to repeat any villains that we€™ve seen in cinemas before, though, so they€™ll have to settle for someone with a little less name recognition than the likes of Green Goblin and Doc Ock. Thankfully, there are still loads of unused villains left in Spidey€™s rogues€™ gallery. Kraven€“ a Russian hunter/adventurer who becomes obsessed with catching and killing Spider-Man €“ could be particularly interesting. Presumably, the world will know about Spider-Man after Phase 3, so that could inspire Kraven to travel to America and hunt him down. For a teenaged Spidey, a professional killer like Kraven could prove a difficult adversary. You can imagine some typical MCU banter between the pair, in amongst the fight scenes, as well. And who should play him? You€™d need someone stern and strong who is willing to go a bit hammy when the occasion demands it. Gerard Butler €“ whose CV blends the brilliance of 300 with the cheese of Tomb Raider 2 €“ could pull it off. He€™d probably be up for it, too.
