Kevin Feige has already warned MCU fans, 2025 will be an exceptional year in terms of superheroic content! In total, the Marvel Studios release schedule includes no less than seven series for Disney+, and three films which will be screened in cinemas. Spectators will discover new villains in these ten new programs, and Hitek ranked them from least to most dangerous.
#10 Seth Voelker
Incarné for Giancarlo Espositothe star of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul et The Mandalorianthis villain will be on display in Captain America: Brave New World. Known as Sidewinder, this former financial analyst volunteered for an experiment (like so many other Marvel characters) after which he obtained teleportation powers… In the film, he will be the leader of the Serpent Squad, a team of villains, and will give Sam Wilson a hard time. We don’t yet know if he will have magical abilities, hence his last place in the rankings.

Confirmed for the casting of Daredevil Born Again a few months ago, this terrifying supervillain recently arrived in Marvel comics. This villain is proof that this series from Marvel Studios will be particularly dark: he is a sadistic serial killer who signs his crimes in creating works of art with the remains of his victims. Yes yes, you read correctly! Fortunately for Matt Murdock, this assassin does not have no special powersexcept for his agility, his talent for killing and his discretion. At the moment, we do not know which actor will play him.
#8 Wonder Man
Simon Williams will be played on screen by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (The Chicago Seven, Aquaman) in a series of the same name stamped Marvel Spotlight, that is to say “disconnected” from the MCU. We don’t know much about the plot, other than that this ambiguous character will be himself an actor with superpowers auditioning for the role of Wonder Man in a superhero television series. Very powerful in the comics, he owes his powers to infamous Baron Zemo. Sometimes hero, sometimes villain, this character could be a solid ally of the Avengers like a nasty thorn in their side…
#7 Norman Osborn
Norman Osborn will indeed be back on screen, but not in the way you imagine. It’s in the animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manbroadcast at the end of the month on Disney +, that Peter Parker’s enemy will come back to get him lice. Voiced by Colman Domingo, this villain is one of Peter Parker’s most famous and dangerous adversaries. His evil alter ego, the Green Goblinshouldn’t take long to sow chaos in the streets of New York…
#6 Hood

Parker Robbins is a fairly recent character in Marvel history. After his debut in the pages of comics in 2002, he will take his first steps in the MCU with Ironheartthe Disney+ series dedicated to the prodigious Riri Williams. In the guise of Anthony Ramos, this villain focused on mysticism, black magic and occult sciences will challenge the heroine in areas that she has little control over, being herself an expert in technology. Hood and his demonic powers are a serious threat for the superheroes of the MCU, and not just for Riri Williams…
#5 Iron Fist
In the animated series Eyes of Wakandawe will discover the quest of a group of warriors from this little-known African country who travel the Earth searching for vibranium artifacts that have mysteriously disappeared. On their way, they will come across one of the Iron Fists, and not necessarily one of the nicest… Indeed, this identity has been taken on by various characters over the years, some of which turned Iron Fist over to the side of the bad guys. In the comics, this martial arts specialist with the “Iron Fist” also possesses superhuman strength, endurance, durability, agility and speed. These gifts can make him a great ally as well as a terrible enemy.and only the diffusion of Eyes of Wakanda will allow us to see things more clearly.
#4 Red Hulk
New look at Captain America vs. Red Hulk in ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD’
In theaters on February 14. pic.twitter.com/9QoaBRZtuG
— Cosmic Marvel (@cosmic_marvel) January 6, 2025
He is extraordinarily strong, terribly angry and redder than a fire hydrant: in Captain America: Brave New WorldRed Hulk will make Sidewinder look like a choir boy. Played on screen by Harrison Ford, chosen by Marvel Studios to replace William Hurt following the death of the actor, Thaddeus Ross is not his first attempt as a bad guy. But after having done well in the MCU, this will be the first time he transforms into a red “monster”. His alter ego is as powerful as the Green Giant, the famous Avenger we know well, but he is much less sympathetic. The danger represented by this villain is all the greater as he will be both the President of the United States, endowed with immense political powerAND a formidable superhero opponent on the field…
#3 Sentry
No, you haven’t missed an episode: Marvel Studios has not yet confirmed the presence of Sentry au casting de Thunderbolts, but it has been an open secret for a long time. Robert Reynolds will be introduced into the MCU in the guise of actor Lewis Pullman, and he will undoubtedly be presented as one of the most powerful in this universe, sincehe has the power of a thousand exploding suns! In the comics, he is a superhero with powers equivalent to those of Superman, but unlike Clark Kent, he oscillates between Good and Evil. Indeed, its main antagonist is none other than the Void, a destructive entity to which he is intimately linked. His ambivalence makes him extremely dangerous, and only time will tell if he doesn’t bring down the Marvel Universe…
#2 Shalla-Bal
In the category of characters who we hope will side with Good before committing the irreparable, Shalla-Bal is rather well placed. This version of the Silver Surfer will be played by Julia Garner in Fantastic Fourand will complete the mission dedicated to the Herald of Galactus: to find planets in the four corners of the galaxy from which it can feed. This entity absorbs the vital energy of worlds to continue to exist, and when its choice falls on Earth, the superheroes will have their work cut out to prevent it from destroying it… The Surfer’s post Money accompanied by a (tiny) part of cosmic powerbut still immense on a human scale, Shalla-Bal could prove to be a terrifying threat to the Fantastic Four.
#1 Galactus
Stronger than the Silver Surfer? No need to look far: it’s his sponsor, Galactus! Here is a cosmic entity that you would not like to see appear through the window, she whose arrival on a planet is synonymous with‘inevitable destruction. If the Devourer of Worlds, guided by his metallic herald, seems at first glance to be nothing more than a soulless villain, he is actually a complex and fascinating characterwho can hardly be described as an out-and-out “villain”. And for good reason, if it absorbs a planet, it is so as not to die, and not because it would be animated by malicious designs like Thanos or Doom. He represents an incommensurable danger for the Earth, but is not a “bad guy” for all that… Which does not prevent him from being the worst threat superheroes will face this year.
