I've heard (read?) rumors about Annihilus, Kang, Doom, and even the High Evolutionary. Speaking of whom, another rumor suggests he is Rocket Raccoon's creator.
I'd be happy with any of these choices.

I'm guessing it's the Skrulls and they're building towards Secret Invasion.
Doom likely likely will be the big villain down the line, but I don't think they're ready to do anything with him yet. The Fox deal was too recent.
After the Skrulls, Norman Osborn on Earth and Annihilus for space. With Kang as an Avengers villain. Then build towards Doctor Doom, Magneto, Galactus and ultimately the Beyonder with Secret Wars.
I believe Doom can and should be the next major villain of the MCU, if for no other reason than that a cosmic, off-world villain has been done to perfection, and they need to go in a completely different direction to distinguish the next villain from Thanos. This eliminates people like Kang and Annihilus from consideration.
But Doom, within the context of what the MCU is, cannot carry his own movie. It would be the first major film flop for the studio, just as a stand-alone Thanos movie would have been. And I have no doubt the studio knows this.
He's a great, overwhelming adversary. He's not his own movie. There is no posssibility.
I don't think Doom needs to be given a stand-alone movie, but I'm with the train that he's the obvious choice for next big bad.

Seeds have been planted for Secret Wars already. We know who the Skrulls are. We have met the Kree. Captain Marvel and SWORD could play a part...
And somewhere in this Fantastic Four and Doom and Latveria can be introduced to get Doom ready for being possibly the third big bad. But I feel like Latveria needs the Wakanda treatment somehow we should know it exists and he rules it.
We should see his power build up. And I don't think the rivalry with Reed should be ignored of changed from the comics.
Yo, for real though let's get a DOOM solo flick. Let's go. I'm game.
The doctor is in. To hell with CGI purple space man. DOOM will bring it. Practical effects, strong writing, yesssssssss.

I really don't understand why people are saying Doom couldn't be his own movie.
I loved thanos, and i've loved Spiderman's villains. Everyone else has just been pretty much generic villains.
For the MCU to move forward, I think a more fleshed out villain is necessary.
It makes sense thematically. With the after credits of Far From Home, I think we see that the MCU is moving past what was the "Golden Age of heroes" and is moving into a "Dark Age." A move dealing with the nuances of Doom and his rise to power would be awesome to watch.
