12 Upcoming Comic Book Movie Villains We Can’t Wait To See

4. Ares - Wonder Woman (2017)

If you€™re going to pit someone against the most badass woman ever to appear in panel form, they had better be a force to be reckoned with. The Greek god of war seems like a good place to start. Ares is rumoured to be one of villains in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie starring Gal Gadot and seems like a great decision as it will certainly show off Princess Diana of Themyscira€™s combat prowess. Originally going by the Roman title Mars and, no joke, building a base on the red planet because subtlety and comics don€™t always see eye to eye, Ares has been clashing heads with the star-spangled Amazonian since her first appearance in print. Virtually indestructible and with a psychic mastery of weapons, he proves a real threat to even the most powerful of DC€™s heroes and as such is ideally suited for a big screen outing. Reported to be taking on more of a 'puppet master' role in his first appearance, with Eva Green's sorceress Circe to be the one getting her hands dirty, the scope is still there to introduce Ares into the movie universe as a major player, a villain that isn't just a one-time big bad. It also helps that Sean Bean is tipped for the role which is a good enough reason to watch anything in my opinion.
