No I mean in-game. Who will be the next person. As we are killing he's followers!

I bet it will be Malacath with the Orsinium DLC.

I am thinking Mephala as they are or at least were working on Mephala's Realm of Oblivion for the game.

It may also be worth noting that the little circle on the edge of the map for Coldharbour ... there is room on the outer map for enough spheres to place for each Daedric Prince in the lore.

That does seem the no brainer true.

If the game mechanics allowed it'd be an opportunity to have a second choice of daedric to side with in the "solo" quest they speak of, to either fight with or against Malacath...for a variety.

Legedric

Molag Bal in another form or shape.

Nah, Malacath has no interest in those things, his sphere is patronage of the spurned and ostracized. The problem is that King Kurog publicly insists that his people worship Mauloch rather than the Daedric Prince Malacath, which makes him unpopular with his people. Basically, you'll have to protect him against those who wish to dethrone him.

Molag bal ghostly form threatening about recovering part of his body to reinvarnate into an evil form and has a vampire and werewolf and be called the wolfpire molag bal.

That would be brilliant

I think Mephala is being lined up for the Dark Brotherhood. There's not been much heard from Clavicus Vile in ESO yet, so maybe he's waiting in the wings to be a future antagonist. Vile likes souls, too...

Oh how I would love a big DLC content for Clavicus Vile and Barbas.

Orsinium is more likely to deal with secular issues, I would think. Orc politics and such, civil war, whatever... Mauloch/Malacanth generally isn't that much into large scale movings from what I recall of the lore...more the brooding type then the planning type I guess...

Mephala we know is in the works, so I'd think we might get something there... it would make a good entree for the dark brotherhood storyline, she usually is involved with them due to her sphere of influence (murder, secrets and sex... a interesting combination to say the least...)

Clavicus Vile has popped up once or twice in the course of ESO questlines, but while he would be interesting, I don't really see him as big schemer to power a plotline as antagonist - he seems more the type who'd just wait for souls to come to him, knowing all too well that someone will always be willing to make a deal, chase a dream, speak a wish...
(It -would- be neat if they could do a "get a wish fulfilled from CV, deal with the side effects" quest, but... to do that right, they'd have to offer a very wide range of "wish options"... might be lots of work...)

There are many other daedric princes, of course. And as has been mentioned, the "edge" of the map has a lot of space for daedric realms... and Molag Bal did mention now that his scheme has been defeated, there are many other princes worse then him who now get their turn with nirn...
Sheogorath already features prominently in the mages guild, so I doubt there will be that much more of him.
Boethiah is behind the deshaan plotline, and might be tapped for more mischief...
Nocturne could easily pop up during the thieves guild DLC...
Mauloch may get some mention during Orsinium...
Mehunes Dagon... did also appear now and then, and had big big screentime during Oblivion, so I would think they might prefer to adoid re-heating that one, and go for someone less known...
Hermaeus Mora did also appear a couple times, and generally is more of a watcher then plotter-to-be-opposed...
Hircine is covered with werewolves and some questings, and again not too focussed to make a good "big boss enemy"...
Namira... hmmm... a distinct possibility I would think, she leaves a lot of room to envision and build for them to have fun with...
Vaermina - was behind the stormhaven trouble, and might be good for more - but with her nightmare orientation, is maybe better for small quests rather then big antagonist role...
Pyrite... is supposedly the weakest of them all, but also little represented in existing lore, so with room for them to get wild...
Sanguine... is more party then problem I suppose. And in any case, the game likely isn't "naughty" enough to really get into his sphere of influence...
...and finally, Azura and Meridia are too close to "good" (for daedra anyways) to make decent antagonists...

I also hear about them doing clockwork city, so more issues with the tribunal could also be looming...

Nice list I was trying to remember which ones had turned up and where. I don't remember Boethia being involved much in Deshaan, though; wasn't that one all about the Llodos Plague and the Tribunal? Can't see how Boethia would fit into that, unless there was a bit about Dunmeri history that I've forgotten. She is behind Dragonstar Arena, though.

Hermaeus Mora also had big screentime in Dragonborn, so he probably won't appear in a major capacity.
Hircine of course is heavily involved in Bloodmoon, so that may be another reason why he is unlikely to feature heavily.

A good shout on Namira, she hasn't been seen much yet, and I hate her. She'd be a good antagonist.

I thought the main bad person is and always will be Zos...

Mephala is for housing, basically each player get own realm. Thats my guess anyway. I thikn next real new baddie comes with Expansion.

I wish some of the less popular Daedric Princes like Peryite and Namira would get their chance to shine in a dlc. But sadly, it seems that only the "big guns" of the Princes like Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, and ol' Sheogorath get all the big plots in the ES universe, while everyone else is either too focused on a smaller scale, work behind the scenes, or just don't get involved.

Julianos and his unbridled gilded-age capitalism. Next trial will be set in a labor-orphanage and involve ground oil in the form of a giant pot of gruel.

Molag-Bal is not dead or something, he cannot die.
It's just a matter of logic actually. After you have finished the main quest, it's like everything is as it was before.

Most recent example is Molag Kena. After killing her, the Imperial City Anchor is destroyed and Tamriel is safe. But after you leave the dungeon, nothing has changed.
Since I am a roleplayer, I just tell myself that things like White gold tower and the main quests are things that will happen in the future.

I don't know if there has been a blood moon this era yet... so the Great Hunt could be on.

Gern_Verkheart

I desperately wan't to see an expansion featuring Sheograth as the main villain. Not him as he was in the TES:IV Shivering Isles expac, where he wasn't the villain, and more like a crazy uncle type figure, nor even just the goofball he is in the mages guild questline. We only get to ever really see the "mania" side of Sheogorath, he rarely shows his demented side. Sheogorath is The Joker from Batman, if the Joker had the powers of a God. Lets see the genuinely creepy evil side of Sheogorath.

TES love Necromancers. So I'm guessing Mannimarco will escape his prison and seek vengeance on all of Nirn.

Boethia is the one who "encouraged" Vox in her plans against the tribunal, as seen in one of the memory visions...
Not too surprising, seeing how she was one of the "good daedra" the chimer worshipped before turning dunmer and to the Tribunal, alongside Azura and Mephlala... (and who the ashlander still worship) - so she can be assumed to have a bit of a grudge against the tribunal for usurping worship...

More likely his younger brother Steven Bal. When he returns from his mission trip and finds out that you killed his brother, he is gonna be PO'ed something fierce, mister!
