Kevin Feige Vows To Do The FANTASTIC FOUR Justice In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

@Darkknight2149 - I like to think they know that Doom is a mainstay villain and not a one-and-done character.

I mean, he's the ruler of his own country and has been a great to the entire Marvel Universe many times over.

I want to see him all over the place. When Galactus comes to earth I want to see him try to steal Big G's Power Cosmic. If the X-Men do Onslaught sometime years from now I want to see Doom help the heroes defeat him, for his own reasons of course.

I could even see them making Galactus look like the Big Bad, Doom helps defeat him, but then when Galactus is defeated Doom steals his powers and becomes the new Big Bad in the same film.

There is so much potential for Doom to the best villain of all time in the MCU. There's no way they use him as a throwaway.

@dracula - Get Timothee Chalamet for Joker in like 10 years or something

@Makiveli21 - that's a one off.

@TheUnworthyThor - I vote Vanessa Kirby as Sue...

By "something X-related", I don't mean a titled X-Men film. I mean some character or concept woven into material released in 2022 or 2023. For a fully formed X-team in a title role, maybe a year or two after that. (Which sounds so far away, I know, I'm impatient, too, but it's part of the process.)

@CorndogBurglar - It is a very compelling theory. Mutant powers are very "Deviant-like" in how they aren't directly inherited and seem somewhat random. If Celestials intended the Fourth Host (or whichever Host it is, I get confused) to be one where the Eternals, Deviants, and Humans all stand on some kind of equality, mutants could have been intended as the humans' champions or something.

@CorndogBurglar - I often forget that Earth X is a thing.

@Makiveli21 - What's up Makiveli. I remember you from way back in the day. It's been a while since I've seen you. One of the few people that actually knows comics.

Anyway, yeah I think the Ultimate comics had something to do with that. I was never a big fan of the Ultimate universe. But I really really hope they don't go that route.

I would prefer it to either be a natural evolutionary change, or what I mentioned above about the Celestials.

The cool thing about the Celestials route is that the people on Earth would still THINK it was just natural evolution. They would have no reason to know about the Celestials. That would be something more for the viewers to know.

Either way, my perfect MCU X-Men would be that mutants have existed for the entire MCU, but they are in hiding and don't have large numbers yet. The Government knows about them but has helped keep them secret. The X-Men exist as a home to help people just learning about their powers. Then Sinister manipulates Trask in the government to create Sentinels and out mutants to the world, in a way that makes them seem dangerous.

That leads to Magneto coming out of hiding and getting pissed about humans hating mutants and the creation of Sentinels.

It can be revealed that Sinister was doing all of this to start a war between humans and mutants as a test for when Apocalypse arrives.

I know people are all caught up on the fact that we haven't seen or heard about mutants in the MCU, so they expect an origin of sorts explaining where they've been. But remember, Blade is coming out too, and not one word has been mentioned about vampires either. Just because vampires and mutants haven't been mentioned yet doesn't mean they aren't there...

@CorndogBurglar - Mutants are not like Vampires. They are not a monolithic species, they are not a single nation. They are random people (mostly adolescents) who randomly develop Uncanny abilities. I'm tired of seeing "uhhh mutants were in hiding" theory because it's a blatant misunderstanding of what mutants are and how the X-Gene works. They CAN'T "hide" from society. That's like trying to hide the existence of dogs or cats. Now imagine if those animals had the power to level a city block with a thought.

This was actually a point of contention in X-Men: Red. When Jean Grey tried to establish the "mutant" nation. The UN was against it because of the fact that mutants are not a monolith like Wakanda. They are random and all oger the world

@Spock0Clock - they threw a fully integrated Captain Marvel with 25 years of experience into Endgame with 1 movie and 1 after credit scene. If they want to put a rush on Xmen and the F4, they can.

@PeterSparker - Mutants are not like dogs and cats lol. You can't hide their existence because nothing else LOOKS like dogs and cats. Most mutants look exactly like humans except for a few with defects caused by being a mutant.

Mutants would be in hiding because of incidents of ignorant people attacking the ones that look different. A regular looking mutant wouldn't cause much concern because the world knows about powered humans like the Avengers. So seeing someone use some powers in public isn't exactly something new. But your point about them being all over the world and not a single nation would be a cause for some of the normal looking mutants to get attacked also, because some would undoubtedly use their powers for crime.

When I say they are in hiding it's more like because Mutants in general haven't been outed to the public yet. No one knows what they are or that they could be the next level of evolution. So the few incidents of mutants being attacked stem mostly from being different and misunderstood, which is something we see in real life all the time.

The X-Men would exist as something of an outreach program at first to help people cope with their powers and their first movie would be their first actual mission as a super hero team. This is how they can easily be adults also and not a team of teenagers.

Basically what I'm saying is once mutants get outed to the public as a "threat" is when humans really become concerned and why we haven't heard about mutants up to this point.

Also, the Vampires in Blade have plenty of rogue vampires acting on their own. They are not one giant nation. The entire plot of the first Blade movie was about a group of rogue vampires that didn't give a shit if people learned about them.

@Kurne - Never going to happen. F4 and X-Men are WAY too tentpole. Maybe after the fact, a la Falcon and The Winter Soldier happening now after the Infinity Saga.
