Black Panther
It ’s still hard to believe that the Marvel Cinematic Universe started right smart back in 2008 , back when Tom Holland was see schooltime in the United Kingdom and the like of Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner were still detect their metrical unit in the acting existence .
Over the several geezerhood the MCU has introduced so many weird and marvelous characters , each with their own appeal in some fashion . Yet some of those people were killed off right smart too soon , either for narrative reasons or just because fan wanted to see more .

For many years , superhero pic almost always ended up with the bad guys dying in the oddment , which was something that suffer the seniority of certain characters . How can a character develop a long - lasting nemesis if they conk too soon ? The choice was actually shown doubly recently , first inSpider - Man : No Way Home , where Spider - Man ’s baddie who die in the past times all returned to spirit , and he set out to save them from their fate . The 2nd wasShe - Hulk , streaming on Disney+ , where the Hulk ’s scoundrel , Abomination , is not only alive but prepare to play a declamatory role in the MCU once again .
Crossbones
Brock Rumlow was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who worked alongside Captain America and Black Widow before Hydra essay its unfriendly coup d’etat . At that metre , he chose to remain on Hydra ’s side and cease up becoming Crossbones after getting get in an burst .
However , this only direct to one other appearance in the MCU . InCaptain America : Civil War , Crossbones plan a terrorist attempt , but Wanda Maximoff stopped him by turn back the explosion and killing him as a result . The last was part of the overall building of theCivil War , but kill a villain as great as Crossbones just to set up the account seemed a waste , as he had plenty pull up stakes to offer the MCU .
Heimdall
A lot of Asgardians give-up the ghost betweenThor : RagnarökandAvengers : Infinity War . Some of these included devotee deary like The Warriors Three , but their personnel casualty never really meant that much in the grand scheme of thing . However , Heimdall ’s death hit hard .
Heimdall show inThor : Ragnarökthat he wasone of Asgard ’s most herculean warriors . It was his true hero present moment . However , he died in the opening scenery ofInfinity War , and it not only have a warrior off the display panel before the conflict with Thanos , but it removed a great player in Idris Elba . as luck would have it , Heimdall returned in a conniption from the afterlife inThor : Love and Thunder , but the MCU will miss meet Heimdall in activity .
Maya Hansen
Shane Black’sIron Man 3remains below the belt maligned . While the Mandarin gimmick rubbed many MCU lover the wrong fashion , the reveal was perfectly done and created a brilliant side character in Trevor , asShang Chishowed . However , the motion picture did one character wrong .
In the comics , Maya Hansen play a self-aggrandizing role in Tony Stark ’s life . She was a brainy scientist who helped produce Extremis . She also worked for Stark at S.H.I.E.L.D. , and even worked with the literal Mandarin . However , in the motion picture , she was nothing more than Aldrich Killian ’s lackey and died a nonmeaningful destruction . She could have been so much more if adjust aright .
Ronan the Accuser
Ronan the Accuser puzzle a huge threat to the Guardians of the Galaxy in their first movie , and he is one of the few mass to stand up to Thanos and experience to fight another mean solar day . However , when the movie ended , he go at the Guardian ’s hands comply a comical quip by Peter Quill .
Fans got to see Ronan back in a smaller role in Captain Marvel , which ingest place in the 1990s . However , his last in the MCU means that any future plans for cosmic battle with beings like Annihilus will never be as great as they were in the comics , where Ronan was forced to team with his enemy for the sake of the Kree Empire .
Wanda Maximoff
If there is one MCU death that merit undone , it is the death of Wanda Maximoff . go bad at the end ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessin an act of ego - sacrifice , Wanda really merit a second chance in the MCU , if for no other reason than the fact Elizabeth Olsen completely possess the persona .
Wanda has done a lot in the MCU . She played a big theatrical role in three of theAvengersmovies , was bright in her Disney+ serial , WandaVision , and was one ofMarvel ’s most powerful villains at the end , but she merit a better fate stick to her traumatic liveliness . There are some fans who conceive Wanda could have come through , and that might be well for the MCU .
Thanos
Thanos ’ involvement in the MCU go beyond his two huge appearances inAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers : Endgame . Prior to that he ’d made cameos in both the firstGuardians of the Galaxymovie andAvengers : Age of Ultron , go under the scene for the dastard mission the insane Titan would enter on years afterwards .
But two movies of Thanos at the forefront of thing , while confessedly spectacular , is n’t enough . Josh Brolin painted the purple beast as an intriguing character , one with a moral compass and yet horrifically twisted . Hopefully , despite his decease inEndgame , mayhap Disney can find a room to bring the role back some peak down the line .
Ebony Maw
So while Thanos deserve better , fans were also left disappointed by the decision to toss off off Ebony Maw so former intoInfinity War . Of all the children of the Mad Titan , it was the Maw who was the best of the lot , using his outstanding telekinetic skills to make life a living Scheol for his enemies .
He was outstanding in the first act ofInfinity War , helping capture Dr. Strange and surviving a confrontation with Iron Man , Spider - Man and Wong . But fans were definitely feel a bit blue when he met his terminal on the starship and , though he returned inEndgame , he was n’t give enough screen time .
Quicksilver
Marvel had been teasing the introduction of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch for a while before both characters played a asterisk role in the 2015 blockbusterAvengers : Age of Ultron . And they both turned out to be deserving the postponement , with their powers a breath of fresh strain and complexity as individual making them fascinating to watch .
Quicksilver is honest in the movie : he move at incredible velocity , make jokes , and even joins the secure guys in the fight against Ultron mightily at the very end . Marvel killed him off , though , with the speedster sacrificing himself for Hawkeye . A true hero — and one fans had hop would be around for a lot longer .
Ho Yinsen
The MCU kicked off back in 2008 with the dismissal of the firstIron Manfilm . One of the first characters introduced in the movie was Ho Yinsen , who befriend Tony Stark during his time held wrapped in a cave in the Middle East .
Yinsen is a top guy , attend to Tony in the creation of his first Iron Man courting and helping the billionaire escapism with his life sentence entire . However , he was bourgeon and bolt down , with the wise man contend to give on some crucial Christian Bible of advice before his destruction . Without him , Tony may never have realize his potential as a creator and , more importantly , a superhero .
Whiplash
Despite it have a stunning action sequence that take place during the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monte Carlo , critics still regardIron Man 2as one of the bad movies the Marvel Cinematic Universe create . But while its plot leave much to be desired , it would have been nice to see more of Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko , AKA Whiplash .
The 67 - year - old is an interesting enough baddie , seek revenge on Tony for the death of his father . He cash in one’s chips at the end , but there was hope that he could have return in some configuration , even in flashback movies in his nursing home country , likeBlack Widow .
Ulysses Klaue
Andy Serkis run on to play Alfred Pennyworth in Matt Reeves’TheBatman . This was great because the actor ended up underused by Marvel , making just two appearances in 2015’sAge of Ultronand 2018’sBlack Panther .
Klaue gets his arm sliced off by Ultron in the former , but it ’s in the 2018 movie where his character excels , using his new metallic limb to cause bedlam all while run with a big , albeit villainous , smile on his face . It was disappointing when Erik Killmonger killed him , and he never even get to return to Wakanda , and his most hat enemies .
Erik Killmonger
Michael B. Jordan was under pressure to deliver a fine performance after failing to live up to expectations in the 2015’sFantastic Four . He did just that , producing a performance so right , he ’s now usually regard as one of the best villains in MCU history .
However , he ’s in just the one film . His battles to exact what he believe is truly is are spectacular to find out and spellbind . Killmonger was a bright villain . For that reason , he would have been an awful Wakandan king , butcould he have been a good Black Panther .
Mysterio
Mysterio made his debut and then died inSpider - Man : Far From home plate . buff had been await years to see Jake Gyllenhaal make his MCU appearance . He did n’t disappoint , withMysterio proving to be a more difficult villain to beatthan Michael Keaton ’s Vulture , who appear in the previous moving-picture show .
All of Mysterio ’s illusions were both astonishingly clever and marvelously carry out , nearly leading to the end of not only Spider - Man but the citizens of London as well . He seemed to die at the death when one of Tony Stark ’s old drones shoot him . However , this is Marvel . Death does n’t have to necessarily be the end .
Hela
Poor Thor . As if take a rogue like Loki as a chum was n’t uncollectible enough , the God of Thunder discovers inThor : Ragnarökthat his male parent was hiding a villainous sister from him as well . When Odin die out , Hela became free and forthwith sic about , turn Asgard into a place where she could rule by fear .
She proved to be quite the villain , turning Asgard into a battlefield and treat the majority of its universe with nothing but contempt . She also owned a coolheaded pet but was presume utter at the end when Ragnarök unfolded . That ’s a ignominy because , like brother Loki , she ’s a reference who deserves to pop up again and again .
Skurge
When Hela first endeavor to take dominance of Asgard , she found that nobody there was pleased to see her . She kill the Warriors Three , slaying them in front of Skurge who , after being wooed by the promise of greater great power and responsibility , chose to side with her .
However , he came to regret the decision and died heroically , fighting many of Hela ’s minions to allow the Asgardians an escape . Sadly , Karl Urban was a big enough name to stick with , and Skurge appear more complex than he initially seemed .
