10 Terrifying Horror Villains The MCU Won't Use
7. Shuma-Gorath
If you've ever played Marvel Vs Capcom before, then you probably know at least a little bit about who Shuma-Gorath is. And considering that a shocking number of hardcore comic fans don't even know who he is, that's quite the accomplishment.
For those not in the know, Shuma-Gorath is essentially Marvel's take on a lovecraftian eldritch horror. An unknowable cosmic entity that used to run Earth before we pesky humans came along. As you can imagine, Shuma takes offense to this, and often comes back to reclaim his old stomping ground. Dr. Strange is - more often than not - the only one who can even fight this thing without completely losing his mind in the process. But, as cosmic beings are one to do, it can never truly be killed.
We might end up seeing Shuma-Gorath in Multiverse Of Madness or even in whatever the third movie will be. A lovecraftian elder god would certainly be a badass final boss for Dr. Strange. But for a number of reasons, we doubt that Marvel Studios is going to roll the dice on this guy.
