[Marvel Movies] Fantastic Four 1 & 2 & Doctor Doom (MCU)

Even with FF being one of my favorite comics I never felt Doom was this crazy powerful villain, it seems they powered him up since I stopped reading, but he was never superhuman powerful from what I remember.

Don't thin he needs to be god level but he has to be very powerful to be a good big bad for a movie to work.

 

In the Marvel Universe he was always among the most powerful villains because he was considered one of the most intelligent characters combined with the fact he wielded the ability to use magic. He was a scientist almost on Reed Richards' level, as well. There were times he used all this to become crazy powerful. Like when he took the Beyonder's power, when he almost became Sorcerer Supreme, etc. Pretty much anything where magic and mind are combined, he's elite-level in the Marvel Universe. The problem with him is, he often uses his intelligence, magic, and other powers to steal cosmic and multiverse-level powers briefly from others, and for one reason or another, eventually loses them. No idea what they're going to do with him in the MCU, though.

 

Great synopsis, his acquiring said cosmic level powers were always a bit convoluted IMO.

Will be interesting to see what they do with him.

 

I won the lotto on the MCU panel at D23. Maybe I'll be among the first to see this DR DOOM in REAL life.

I saw THANOS 2 or 3 D23's ago. Josh Brolin is TINY in person.

 

Can you pLeASe complain to Feige why Marvel so woke it's bwoke???

Interesting.

Great actor has that stretch type body to be Reed Richards but could also be a great villain.

 

Yeah, I'd prefer DOOM but open. Doesn't seem like the type to want to get tied down to a franchise for 15yrs (aware of star wars) though. But who knows. I said the same about Fassbender when he was getting going and it turns out, he' all about that $$$ too.

 

It seems like this whole multiverse saga is just filler with B squad heroes to set the stage for FF and Xmen in a logical way.

Are we going to do this all over again when they buy the rights to make Hulk/Namor standalone movies from Universal or get the full spiderverse from Sony?

 

So they must have hit the breaks on the Disney+ Kylo Ben prequel.

 

How dare you.

Don Cheadle can't be bad casting in anything.

I admit he was just there, but he did not have much to work with IMO.

 

I get what you mean about the Xmen vs Avengers thing but my point was more about side kicks and smaller characters getting their own movies and TV shows. Even if a character has a larger profile in the comics if they were viewed as a sidekick on screen for years audiences just won't connect with them the same way. I think they planned for Thor, Captain Marvel, and Black Panther to carry this saga. Now, Boseman has passed. Cap Marvel didn't resonate with the base. And, will Chris Hemsworth is looking to take a break (probably from PEDs) after finding he has the genetic predisposition to Alzheimers.

Yea, I agree with the Don Cheadle comment. He's a great actor but the only reason people accept him in that role is because they don't know who War Machine is supposed to be.

If this ends up being a big universe reboot they're wasting the comic book ace in the hole too early. I don't think people will take well to an Avengers reboot this early. I think you gotta wait 12-15 years post endgame for there to be a new generation that doesn't have that connection to RDJ and co.

 

All we need is Deadpool

 

But now he comes with a Jackman, right?

 

Yea - that geezer is coming.

 

I don't buy this. If they want they could just get Fox to license the characters out now, some other way.

 

Driver seems more like a Doom to me, but i guess with a character like that, his face is going to be hidden always so not the same as others who get to take it off. Driver probably wants to be seen like any other A lister.
