If the MCU leans further into secret councils and multiversal law, the Illuminati could redefine who makes the big calls—and who pushes back. This forward-looking piece explores plausible lineups (science leaders, sorcerers, monarchs), the ethical conflicts they’d spark with Avengers-style teams, and how incursions or cosmic threats might force uneasy alliances. We sketch grounded theories for introducing the council organically, hint at villains and political blowback, and outline the narrative advantages: bigger brains at the table, grayer morality, and story engines that ripple across films and series. No wild leaks—just logic-driven possibilities fans can track on screen.
