There could be a corrupt toymaker as the main antagonist. He has the ability to create living toys in Bendy's world and decides he wants to expand his empire into Cuphead's world. He sends his army of menacing toys to invade both worlds. Cuphead and Bendy must put their differences aside and figure out how to stop this toymaker and his army of toys that are causing destruction and mayhem in both of their worlds.
The Devil could be the main antagonist. Since he is Cuphead's main enemy in his own game, he might follow Cuphead into Bendy's world. He could see Bendy's world as a new place to spread his evil and also wants to get revenge on Cuphead. He could start causing chaos in Bendy's world, which would force Cuphead and Bendy to team up against him.
A corrupted version of one of their own friends could be the main antagonist. For example, a possessed Boris from Bendy's world or a mind - controlled Mugman from Cuphead's world. This would add an emotional layer as they have to fight someone they care about.
It could be a jealous artist named Max. Max has always been overshadowed by Bendy and Betsy's talent. So, he devises a plan to steal their ideas and take over the art world in their story. He starts spreading rumors about Bendy and Betsy to turn other artists against them.
One common theme could be conflict. Since Cuphead is evil in this, there would likely be a fight between him and Bendy over territory or power.
