I'd like to think that Disney would steer away from villains we've received before, the way they did with Spider-Man: Homecoming (Vulture,) and honestly, I could go an X-Men film or two without having to see Magneto or Mystique as a primary antagonist. Same for Fantastic Four with Doctor Doom.

For me personally...

Surfer: Mephisto
Fantastic Four: Annihlus or Sub Mariner
X-Men: Mr Sinister or Freedom Force (Yes...I know Mystique was a part of that team...so maybe someone else to take her place...like a throwback to Rogue's villainous past maybe?)

I actually had a whole idea for how a Fantastic Four trilogy could go down, setting up Galactus to be the Big Bad of their respective phase.

Fantastic Four: Mole Man or Puppet Master. Somebody who would make for a fun, interesting foe to rival the Fantastic Four who still isn't that well-known or beloved among casual Marvel fans. This way, Marvel Studios is given enough freedom to reinvent the character for a modern age without pissing too many people off. Dr. Doom would be a supporting character for the F4 who, much like Baron Mordo, gradually turn towards villainy as his jealousy of Reed (and the F4 in general) get the better of him.

Fantastic Four 2: Doctor Doom is the main villain. The end of the movie reveals that he saw a vision of Silver Surfer and Galactus coming to devour the planet....and the vision "reveals" that Doom would be the one to stop him (of course, this vision was heavily influenced by Doom's psyche), which further fleshes out his motivation for everything he's done.

Fantastic Four 3: Silver Surfer, properly setting up a Silver Surfer spin-off film, and also Galactus for the Big Bad of the next major Marvel crossover movie.
