Is Doctor Doom Behind The Fantastic Four’s Ship? MCU Theory That Could Change Avengers: Doomsday!

BBG News

Caution! This article discloses details from the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts*, suggesting that it sets up Avengers: Doomsday more than The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Jake Schreier’s Thunderbolts* primarily focuses on the story of the titular team and Robert Reynolds, but also subtly hints at the upcoming phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The ending of Thunderbolts* reveals that the Thunderbolts have transformed into the New Avengers, just in time to encounter Sam Wilson’s own group of Avengers and engage in a battle against Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday. After the events of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel’s First Family will also be involved in this conflict.

In a different timeline, the story of The Fantastic Four: First Steps unfolds. To bridge this gap with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it’s crucial that the MCU provides an explanation for how and why the Fantastic Four arrive on Earth-616. This could be achieved through various scenarios, such as them fleeing their destroyed planet when Galactus attacks, escaping a dying universe, or being forced to travel due to an incursion event. The specifics will be revealed in The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July 2025, while Avengers: Doomsday, set for release in May 2026, should provide all the missing details. Additionally, hints about the fate of the “FF” might have already been dropped in Thunderbolts, filled with subtle easter eggs.

The Fantastic Four Ship Appears In The MCU In The Thunderbolts* Credits Scene

Thunderbolts*’ Post-Credits Scene Suggests The Fantastic Four Flee To The Avengers’ Timeline

In the run-up to its release, the closing scene of the film “Thunderbolts” hints at an unexpected arrival of the Fantastic Four’s spacecraft on Earth amid a chaotic cosmic event. At the New Avengers’ Tower, Yelena Belova receives a warning about an incoming spaceship. Upon closer inspection, she identifies the iconic ‘4’ emblem of the Fantastic Four on the ship. This intriguing hint lends credence to theories that propose the Fantastic Four will escape their reality at the conclusion of their movie. However, there exists another ominous interpretation of this post-credits scene in “Thunderbolts” that could paint a much grimmer picture.

MCU Theory: It’s Doctor Doom In The Fantastic Four Ship, Not The Marvel Heroes

Thunderbolts*’ Post-Credits Scene May Tease Doctor Doom’s True Origins

First Steps. However, it doesn’t show the team operating the spacecraft. Initially, it might appear that Thunderbolts is giving away the ending of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. But here’s an intriguing possibility: The Fantastic Four: First Steps could surprise us by revealing that it’s actually Doctor Doom who steals the spaceship and flees to the Avengers’ timeline instead.

This twist would significantly heighten the intrigue of the endings in “Thunderbolts” and “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” while also addressing a significant plot point in “Avengers: Doomsday.” The origin of Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom has been a puzzle, given that his character hasn’t been referenced in the main timeline of the MCU and he doesn’t appear in the cast of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” In “Avengers: Doomsday,” it could be revealed that Downey’s Doom hails from the same universe as Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards. This revelation could explain how his villainous journey begins once their timeline meets its demise.

What Doom Being In The Fantastic Four Ship Means For Avengers: Doomsday

Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom Could Be More Closely Connected To The Fantastic Four Than First Thought

As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’m super excited about the revelation that Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom will be a multiversal villain in the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday. However, the origins of this iconic character remain shrouded in mystery. If it turns out that the Fantastic Four’s spaceship was actually piloted by Doctor Doom instead of Reed Richards’ team, then the post-credits scene for Thunderbolts* might unveil an intriguing twist: Doctor Doom transforms into a multiversal villain only after the events of The Fantastic Four: First Steps compel him and the titular team to flee their original timeline. In this scenario, Avengers: Doomsday (and Thunderbolts*, for that matter) could validate the long-standing comic book feud between Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards and Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.
