Marvel Studios is said to be working on a solo project for a new villain not yet seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Villain-centered Marvel projects are uncommon, and they are also new to the MCU. The first was Loki (if this version of the character counts as a villain), and the second will be Agatha: Coven of Chaos, both of which are Disney+ shows.
Many villains have been requested by fans to appear in their own projects, whether it is a film, television show, or special presentation. Characters such as Doctor Doom, Kang the Conqueror, and even the late Thanos are among those considered.
For the time being, none of those options appear to be on the table. Instead, the spotlight may be on someone else who is set to take center stage soon.

The Sentry Solo Project is rumored to be in the works.
Marvel Studios, according to insider Daniel Richtman, is working on a Sentry solo project.
Sentry is a Superman-like figure in the comics who gained his powers from the same serum that gave Steve Rogers’ Captain America his powers.
In general, when he is remembered by the public (for classic, convoluted comic book reasons, global memory wipes occur here and there), he is a hero. However, he has a dark side that manifests physically and is known as the Void. This Void’s power levels are out of this world, and it is frequently regarded as a threat to humanity as a whole.
In November, rumors circulated that the MCU’s Thunderbolts would be pitted against an antagonistic Sentry in their upcoming film, a character described as “a conflicted and power villain… [akin to] evil Superman.”
This would imply that the rumored project is a direct sequel to 2024’s big misfit team-up.
What Kind of Project Is It Going to Be?
Sentry is far from the top contender for more villain-centered projects, according to many.
If a project centered on him is in the works, Marvel clearly believes in him—and he’ll likely play a larger role in the Multiverse Saga than fans realize.
Will the project, however, portray the character as a hero, a villain, or both? As previously stated, Robert Reynolds has both a good and a bad persona, so there is plenty of room for creativity to create an intriguing and worthwhile story.
It’s unclear what format this project would take, but given how full the upcoming slate is and the changes rumored to be taking place behind the scenes at Marvel Studios, a Special Presentation is most likely.
