The X-Men have been one of Marvel’s most beloved franchises for generations due largely to the popularity of the mutants, who are now synonymous with the superhero team. While Marvel’s mutants were introduced to the big screen in Fox’s first X-Men film, released in 2000, the uncanny heroes have yet to make a full appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to well-publicized issues concerning the rights of the franchise.However, that is all set to change with Marvel regaining the rights to the mutants and already featuring cameos by mentor Professor Xavier and founding team member Beast in two of their recent films, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and The Marvels. With the X-Men confirmed to be arriving in the MCU sooner rather than later, the time has finally come to consider which villains should be chosen to oppose the heroes when they finally jump to the big screen. Fortunately, the mutants have a wide and varied assortment of villains who would not only present them with a viable threat but also be a great fit for what has already been established in the onscreen universe.With the Marvel Cinematic Universe already exploring the outer reaches of space through film franchises like Captain Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy, a group of dangerously feral aliens capable of overtaking bodies would likely be a good fit. However, the similarities between these creatures and the Xenomorphs seen in the Alien franchise might make these villains a bit too familiar to be featured onscreen – although the mid-credit scene of the latest MCU film, The Marvels, may suggest otherwise.
