9 Awesome Villains For A Guardians Of The Galaxy Sequel

3. Thanos

A lot of people are expecting Thanos to first appear properly in the third Avengers movie, having previously been nothing more than a sinister presence in the background (including in the upcoming first Guardians of the Galaxy instalment), watching on and manipulating things while he plans his first real move. But wouldn't it be good to see what he's capable of first? Very rarely do villains ever feel as though they are genuinely a threat to the heroes in movies because they aren't already established as being particularly powerful. For once, it would be very cool to see a villain (in this case the Mad Titan) appear in a movie, kick some serious butt and then go on to take on a more powerful team of heroes having already established themselves as a serious threat. Essentially, what we're saying is that Thanos could appear in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, display his massive powers, actually win the battle of good versus evil for a change, and THEN acquire the full Infinity Gauntlet and face the Avengers with even more power at his disposal. We would then actually feel as though the Avengers were in serious danger when their third movie came to be. Thanos is a phsyical beast, possessing massive superhuman strength, durability and speed. He also boasts a whole host of esoteric powers and abilities such as telepathy, teleportation, powerful energy blasts, the ability to manipulate various types of energy and matter transmutation. Imagine if he was to defeat the Guardians of the Galaxy using those powers and maybe one Infinity Stone, then get his hands on all six and go up against the Avengers. It would set him up for one hell of a final battle.
