Kang Is A Red Herring: 10 Villains Who May Be The Next TRUE Big Bad Of The MCU

5. Red Skull

One of the most surprising moments of the Infinity Saga was the presence of Red Skull on Vormir as the keeper of the Soul Stone.

Red Skull disappeared in Captain America: The First Avenger and didn’t resurface for nearly a decade…should we expect history to repeat itself?

There are quite a few question marks surrounding his current state, but the assumption is that he's now free to leave Vormir as there is no longer a Soul Stone to guard. Was he transported back to Earth or is he still off-world?

More importantly, who exactly is this Red Skull now? His quest for power found him humbled and enslaved on Vormir. As a free man once more, he may want to make up for lost time.

Cut off the head and two will grow back. Hydra may never truly be defeated and the return of its leader may be just the thing it needs to come back stronger.
