Marvel Cinematic Universe: 10 New Villains To Watch Out For In 2018
6. Cull Obsidian
Appearing In: Avengers: Infinity War
When Thanos finally makes his biggest move yet this summer, he'll be joined by the Black Order, a dangerous group of aliens you'll probably remember as the siblings Nebula mentioned to Gamora back in Guardians of the Galaxy. From what we've seen, it's clear that the group is helping Thanos collect the Infinity Stones - big surprise - and wreaking havoc on Earth as they do.
Cull Obsidian - better known to comic fans as Black Dwarf - is the first member of the group up on this list, a powerful, hulking alien with unbreakable skin. So far, he's the only member who hasn't been teased in the flesh in the footage we've seen, but his influence is clear. In the comics, he spearheaded a massive attack on Wakanda on Thanos' orders, an event that is making the jump to the big screen.
In the film, the army assaulting Wakanda is made up of aliens known as Outriders, and there's little doubt that Cull Obsidian will be right there with them. Characters like Captain America, Black Panther, War Machine, and more are going to be fighting on the front lines, but it's hard to imagine that Cull won't meet his match in the Hulk. Either way, Cull, like his fellow siblings in the Black Order, is being kept under wraps, but his imminent arrival will lead to a massive battle the trailer for the film has already started to hype people up for.
