When it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, no villains are off-limits. Despite the comic background of most villains being very hard to portray on film, the directors do not shy away from taking creative advantage and forming them into perfect movie characters. So, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the cosmic-level X-Men villain would be an antagonist in the MCU.
Even before this, the MCU had altered stories of several comic villains to portray on the big screen, one of them being the Mad Titan Thanos. In the comics, Thanos was not as complex and strategic as he was on the big screen. Despite having god-like power he was rather impulsive with his decisions. Now, it’s time for Dominion to dominate.

Can Dominion Be A Good MCU Villain?
Dominion originally was an X-Men villain. However, after the possibility of The X-Men making their way into the MCU was revealed a lot of speculations arose regarding the change in focus after ‘Avengers: Secret Wars‘. Furthermore, villains like Dominion could open up a whole new cinematic universe.
Dominion in the X-Men is the ultimate evolution of AI and machines. It is created when Titans (beyond Omega-level geniuses) link up in large numbers. Titans in the MCU are extremely intelligent beings and after they link up they become mega powerful. All this makes it the perfect new villain to introduce in the MCU.

How Can Dominion Be Introduced In The MCU?
A lot of villains and characters have been introduced in the MCU. Previously, in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder‘, Eternity was introduced. Dominions are massively powerful and even led to the Beyonders destroying a reality rather than facing it. However, Eternity stands a chance of scaring it.
In the comics, Dominion has a very complex story. So, to portray him in cinemas the story would need to be played with a little bit. Despite Marvel having a huge following a lot of people don’t read the comics. However, it wouldn’t be the first time a character is being simplified for its portrayal on the big screen.
