Huge leak may reveal Marvel’s next big villain to battle the Avengers

The fourth phase of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe has just started with two very different TV shows that finished their runs on Disney+. But WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier do very little to advance the overarching MCU storyline. Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home concluded the Infinity Saga, and we’ve just started exploring the next big plot lines that will extend across several standalone stories for the next decade.

Marvel is rebuilding the MCU after the historic success of Endgame, likely plotting a similar Avengers finale later on down the road. Before that can happen, we need to meet all the new heroes meant to replace the old guard and the new villains who will challenge them. Marvel's Disney+ shows will add more depth to the MCU’s main story, building up characters in greater detail than the movies. But they won’t advance the overarching story in any significant way. We’ll have to wait for the movies to deliver significant character introductions and plot twists. And it just so happens that a huge leak may reveal Marvel’s plans for the next big MCU villain, who will supposedly debut in one of this year’s most exciting Marvel films.

As always, be warned that major spoilers might follow below.
