Here's the problem with Thor: His rogue's gallery is more of a collection than a gallery. He's not overflowing with titanic baddies. With Thor 2 heating up—and Marvel's cinematic honcho promising a "major, major" villain—we started thinking of who it might be.
While we know that Earth's Mightiest Heroes will take on Thanos in Avengers 2—if you haven't seen this movie by now, then you kinda deserve to have it spoiled—it's less clear who the God of Thunder will take on in his sequel. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says that Thanos won't be in Thor 2, but "there will be a major new villain. A major, major new antagonist ..."
And Casino Royale baddie Mads Mikkelson is, apparently, in talks to join the Thor 2 cast as a vllian.
So, who could Thor Odinson be up against? Here are some candidates.
ENCHANTRESS
Thor is many things, but one of them is a man, stranded very far from the woman he loves. In the comics, Odin sent Amora the Enchantress to Earth to kill Jane Foster—all so Thor could get his mind right. But Amora wants him for herself.
Odds: 4 to 1.
LOKI
Well, we know all about Loki, don’t we? And we know Tom Hiddleston is returning so...
Odds: Sure thing.
HELA
In the comics, this goddess of death, who rules over Hel and Niffelheim, was Loki’s daughter. But, hey, liberties have been taken before.
Odds: 10 to 1
YMIR
If you thought Laufey was the worst of the Frost Giants, you’re wrong. Ymir is the great grand-daddy of ‘em.
Odds: 3 to 1
SURTUR
If Ymir is the godfather of the Frost Giants, then Surtur is the same for the Fire Demons. And he doesn’t like a god who can make it rain.
Odds: 5 to 1
KANG THE CONQUEROR
Because what might really freak out a Norse alien-god is a time-traveling would-be despot. (It also might be neat to see Kang fight different Thors in different eras: King Thor, Teenage Goth Thor, Elderly Thor, Toddler Thor ...)
Odds: 3 to 1
SKURGE THE EXECUTIONER
If Enchantress gets the nod, it feels like Skurge might get it too, as they have been linked—both romantically and lust-for-power-ly—in the past. This Asgardian is tough as mystical nails, strong as a mythological ox and also has his own magical weapon, the Bloodaxe.
Odds: 2 to 1.
NAMOR
Often billed as Marvel’s first mutant, this half-human, half-Atlantean prince of the depths has duked it out with many of Marvel’s heroes, including the Avengers. But he’s one of the few that can go toe-to-toe with the God of Thunder.
Odds: 4 to 1
