They team up to harness the energy of the Quantum Realm, which interferes with Hank and Hope's plan to interfere Janet, but by the end of the movie everyone realizes what a viewer probably caught early on: There's a version of this plan where everyone wins. Ava just wants to stop phasing and not die. Ben Foster has beef with Hank Pym (a man who specializes in beef) and wants revenge, while Ghost a.k.a.

Sharing a spot on the list because they share so many villainous goals, the foes of Ant-Man and the Wasp are pretty textbook. Goliath and Ghost ( Ant-Man and the Wasp ) What makes him first among equals is that he was literally the first, setting the mold for years to come. Obadiah Stane fits so many of the MCU villain tropes we've become familiar with: He's a greedy businessman and a false father figure, and he's vastly less interesting than the superhero he's out to get. Proma Khosla, Entertainment Reporter 27. It's so hubristic and patronizing (what's the Kree word for 'mansplain?') that Carol decides she'd rather just dip. When Carol is about to blast him to Kree-Kingdom-Come during their final showdown, Yon-Rogg encourages her to strike him, to defeat him. Yon-Rogg ( Captain Marvel )Īnyone surprised to learn that this dude sucks?

Here's hoping she'll get more to do once Adam emerges. 2 )Īyesha is essentially just a superiority complex dipped in gold, but so much of the fun of her character comes in seeing her haughty grandeur rub up against the goofy, grimy world of the Guardians. Unfortunately, The Incredible Hulk never gets there, and by the end has reduced him to a mindless CGI monster. There's the germ of something interesting in Emil Blonsky, an aging soldier who agrees to undergo a painful experimental procedure in order to achieve Hulk-like power. It's fun to watch him try to take down Stark, and even more satisfying to watch him fail again and again. Which shouldn't be that interesting, except that Sam Rockwell makes him kind of an odious oddball. Justin Hammer is essentially another Tony Stark, only inferior in every possible way. But that's mostly because he's just in a funnier movie than most of the other villains on this list, not because he himself is all that funny.

Ronan gets more laughs than most of the other villains on this list, which could push him up a couple slots.

Ronan the Accuser ( Guardians of the Galaxy ) Not even Killian's embittered-nerd backstory can make him a compelling foil to Tony Stark. The reveal that the Mandarin was really a role being played by Ben Kingsley's Trevor Slattery was a jaw-dropper, but the truth about who was really pulling the strings was far more disappointing. It’s not on the very bottom of the list because all it wants to do is eat snacks (relatable) and everyone after this entry is in Marvel’s clown car of really bad villain ideas.- Alexis Nedd, Senior Entertainment Reporter 33. The Dweller-In-Darkness is the CGI manifestation of studio executives flipping through the screenplay of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and realizing that there’s nothing in there that would make a cool Lego set. The Dweller in Darkness ( Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ) With his gold teeth, thick Russian accent, and pet cockatoo, Vanko is basically a latter-day Johnny Depp character – and as with most latter-day Johnny Depp characters, there doesn't seem to anything like an actual person underneath all those tiresome affectations. And if you're about to launch into an explanation based on the comics, my point is that the movie doesn't do a good job of explaining what he is or why I should care. I still don't entirely understand what Dormammu is and I don't care. Literally who? - Angie Han, Deputy Entertainment Editor* 36.
