Hela and Thanos
Hela showed Thor that she was the mightiest of Odin’s children. She crushed Thor’s hammer like it was nothing, defeated Asgard’s best Warriors on her own, and even beat Thor without mercy. In the end, she was defeated when Surtur destroyed Asgard. Once Asgard was destroyed, she died. Or did she? Hela is the Goddess of Death. Something like dying isn’t going to stop her. It’s also certain that she will want revenge on Thor. And with her powers depleted, she is going to need help while she regains her strength. Thanos is the man for the job.
In the comic books (this seems to be a trend here), Thanos and Hela worked together. Why not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well? Thanos’ obsession with Death herself in the comic can now become a love for Hela. And since both of them have scores to settle with one or all of the Avengers, a team-up would make sense. Two of the toughest and fiercest villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be a nightmare for the heroes. This could also combine Hela’s undead forces with Thanos’ Black Order, a fight scene everyone would love to see. This would also end with both Thanos and Hela fighting each other for the top spot.
