Josh Brolin's Thanos, Michael B Jordan's Killmonger and Tenoch Huerta's Namor are notable attempts by Marvel to present its villains through an empathetic lens: you may disagree with their actions, but they possess an identifiable mindset. But over the years, there has been a definite push to capture something meaningful. The early days saw the franchise accused of churning out generic, formulaic villains ( Thor: The Dark World's Malekith, for example). Iwuji's Shakespearean delivery exudes so much gravitas and authority that it's hard not to place him among the very best villains in the franchise, though it's fair to say that the MCU has had mixed fortunes in that department. It's a mic-drop moment for the MCU's latest villain in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. There's nothing more chilling than hearing these words from Chukwudi Iwuji's High Evolutionary: "There is no God… That's why I stepped in." Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 spoilers follow.
