Disney+ Reveals New Avengers Villains

Disney+ recently unveiled the upcoming lineup of villains set to take on The Avengers in their next adventures. While fans might have expected Doctor Doom to be the main antagonist, a different duo is stepping up to challenge Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday film.

In the Marvel’s Spidey and Iron Man: Avengers Team-Up! special on Disney+, audiences were introduced to the new villains that the Avengers will be facing off against in a kid-friendly form. This special brings together popular heroes like Spidey, Iron Man, and Hulk to combat two notorious foes: the Green Goblin and Ultron.

It may not be the typical villain duo one would expect from the Marvel comics, but the crossover works seamlessly within the kid-friendly realm of Spidey and His Amazing Friends. Even though the special is geared towards a preschool audience, it marks the Avengers’ latest on-screen challenge as they battle familiar threats in a colorful and action-packed showdown.

Marvel’s Spidey and Iron Man: Avengers Team-Up! is not just a fun crossover event for young viewers but also a nod to the long-standing tradition of animated Marvel series that inspire and entertain new generations of fans. This special highlights the importance of friendship and teamwork, while also setting the stage for the Avengers to face a slew of new villains in the upcoming MCU movies and shows.

One of the upcoming villains the Avengers will have to contend with is a modern-day menace in LEGO Marvel Avengers: Strange Tails on Disney+. Premiering on November 14, 2025, this animated special takes a unique approach by pitting the heroes against a world-ending threat created by the influencer culture of social media. Hawkeye and the Avengers must combat an online personality with deadly ambitions in this fresh and captivating storyline.

Expect to see Scorpion slither back into the MCU spotlight in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, hitting theaters on July 31, 2026. Actor Michael Mando reprises his role as Mac Gargan, this time posing as one of Peter Parker’s most dangerous adversaries. Rumors suggest that Scorpion may form an alliance with the Venom Symbiote, promising a darker and more intense evolution for both the villain and Spider-Man himself.

Marvin Jones III will bring the brutal mob boss Tombstone to life in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, marking a significant live-action debut for the character. Joining the ranks of villains like Scorpion, Tombstone is a physically imposing foe for Spider-Man, known for his ability to go toe-to-toe with superpowered heroes. Jones’ casting is notable as he previously voiced the character in Into the Spider-Verse, adding to the excitement surrounding his live-action portrayal.

Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, a complex character straddling the line between hero and villain, makes his highly anticipated big-screen debut in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Rumors hint at a new female sidekick, speculated to be a reimagined Rachel Cole-Alves portrayed by Sadie Sink. The Punisher’s arrival guarantees a more thrilling and intense storyline as he aligns himself with or against Spider-Man in the next chapter of the MCU.

Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner returns in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but this time, rumors suggest he may not be aligning himself with Spider-Man. Speculations point to the Savage Hulk making a comeback, a more uncontrollable and formidable version of the Avenger last seen in Infinity War. Set footage showcasing a bruised and bloodied Banner hints at a darker and more gripping narrative that pushes him to his limits.

Doctor Doom, portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., emerges as the next formidable villain in Avengers: Doomsday, aiming to rival and even surpass the threat posed by Thanos in the MCU. This iteration of Victor von Doom possesses a lethal combination of advanced science and powerful magic, making him a force to be reckoned with. His plan to unleash chaos across the Multiverse will necessitate a united front from the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men on the big screen for the first time.

Venom will finally make his Marvel Studios debut in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2 on Disney+. Although fans have been eagerly awaiting the character’s introduction in the MCU, this animated series offers a unique alternate universe take on Venom’s confrontation with Spider-Man.

Chameleon, one of Marvel’s most elusive and cunning villains, is also set to return in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2, adding to the roster of iconic enemies that Spider-Man will face in this thrilling animated series.

Doctor Octopus, voiced by Hugh Dancy, is poised to take center stage as one of the main antagonists in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2.
