FANTASTIC FOUR: Rumored Details On Doctor Doom's MCU Future Revealed...Including When He'll Debut

A new report claims to shed some light on what Marvel Studios has planned for Doctor Doom in the MCU, and we may have intel on how Victor Von Doom will factor into the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot...

You may recall that there have been rumblings about Doctor Doom making his presence felt in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever for some time now. It makes sense given Victor's history with T'Challa and his home, and all signs seemed to be pointing to Marvel Studios borrowing some ideas from the DoomWar comic book storyline. 

Over the past week or so, however, the usual suspects on social media have chimed in to say Marvel Studios decided to cut Doom's planned MCU debut in one of the sequel's post-credits scenes. 

It felt a lot like backtracking due to their earlier scoops (read: guesses) being proven incorrect. There's always a chance we will see Doom in the Black Panther follow-up - critics were only shown one post-credits scene after all - but a big update on his future in the Fantastic Four franchise has been shared by Jeff Sneider on the Hot Mic podcast. 

He claims that, "I'm told that Doctor Doom is not the villain of Fantastic Four, that Doctor Doom will be introduced basically in like a mid-credit or post-credit scene [in Fantastic Four]."

Other reliable scoopers like Lizzie Hill have agreed with Sneider, and this does make sense. 

It's possible this was always the plan and that miscommunication led to the belief the introduction would take place in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Doom was the big bad in all the previous Fantastic Four movies, so moving away from him for a while would likely be beneficial to Marvel's First Family.

Last week, we heard that Marvel Studios plans to introduce Silver Surfer in a "Special Presentation" on Disney+, with that serving as a prequel to the team's return. If all this information is correct, we have to assume Galactus is going to be the first big bad Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny face in the MCU. 

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever arrives in theaters on November 11, while Fantastic Four recently shifted to February 14, 2025.

Do you know if the scoopers are only guessers, Josh? Are you sure of that?

Cause if they are I'm asking them for the lottery numbers, since the Spider-man they've been almost 100% on all leaks.

They've set the stage for fantastic 4. The world is weird now with all the things that happened to it, and all the new super powered people. We have Spider-Man and daredevil to cross paths with. Arisheim has earth in his crosshairs. Mutants are being whispered about. Kingdoms are warring (wakanda and Namors kingdom). And now we have the quantum realm playing a big part.

Galactus appearing, Doom ruling Latveria, public superheroes (she hulk) living amongst us...



I couldn't think of a better sandbox for the first family to play in.

@Vigor -
Even so I'm not sure how I feel about opening with Galactus as the first big bad for them. It's like having your John Thomas all the way out when you pick up your date. How about starting with a nice Mole Man or some such. We will get to Galactus in due time.

Make Mine Marvel!

Even though he is a bit older...I would LOVE to see them cast Claes Bang as Dr. Doom. He would absolutley kill that role and would bring a gravitas few othr actors could.

@Forthas - I'd go for Charlie Hunman for Doom myself.

@Forthas - he was incredible as Dracula

@KWilly - @KWilly - Charlie Hunnam does not give off a villainous vide...Even though there are various iterations of Doom without his mask...not sure if Hunnam looks like any of the ones I have seen.

@BigPhilbowski - Totally agree! That role is what made me think of him.

@Forthas - he was a lot of fun in the northman, which was in itself such a [frick]ing good movie

I'm not saying he'll be wrong, but there's no way this dude knows about a post credit scene for a movie in 2025 that hasn't even started filming yet. I'm so tired of these "expert" scoopers.

@KWilly - This is the same guy who called Harrison Ford being Ross and Vision getting a show a day before it was announced. Not saying he is automatically right about everything but he has an extremely good track record in the last couple weeks. There's a lot shadier leakers you could go after.

Secret Wars is 2026, right? We need an established rivalry between Reed and Doom before then, I would think.

@ObserverIO - That's only if they were straight adapting the 2015 Secret Wars exactly, which it doesn't seem like they will. I'm guessing it'll be more an adaption of the original secret wars with elements of the newer one (multiverse, incursions, etc) thrown in.

It will be interesting to see where they begin with all of them. Not sure we get the origin story at this point, although they may flash back.

I mean, guess it could be legit. But then again, it could be the guy saying the most obvious possibility.
