1. Hela

Yeah, we know, Hela’s dead, right? But hear us out!

This team would be seriously short of female members (at least until more female villains were introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe), with Ayesha being the only one we’ve been able to include prior to Hela, but what better way to make up for that than by making their leader a female?

It could have been the returning Red Skull, it could have been a resurrected Ultron, but we think Hela would be an amazing leader for this team.

The thing about Hela’s apparent demise in 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok is that she is the Goddess of Death – actual death – so you have to believe she’s a little harder to kill than even the toughest of the other Asgardians.

With that in mind, maybe she’s been biding her time to return – and, in the same way she recruited Fenris, Skurge and Asgard’s deceased warriors last time out, she’d want to gather a team. Heading to Earth and beyond to do so makes a lot of sense, if her ambitions had increased beyond her now-destroyed home realm.

We’d simply love to see Cate Blanchett return to the MCU as Hela – and heading up a team of existing villains in the franchise would be an awesome way for her to do that.

What did you think of our list? Would you like to see these MCU villains teaming-up with each other? Which interactions would you be most excited to see? And which other bad guys in the franchise would be great on the team? Let us know your thoughts!
