What we know about the movie:

In the world of Marvel Comics, the Fantastic Four is a group of astronauts who undergo a remarkable transformation after being exposed to cosmic rays during a space mission. This extraordinary event grants them incredible superpowers, shaping them into iconic superheroes.

Reed Richards, the team's brilliant leader, gains the ability to stretch his body to incredible lengths, earning him the moniker "Mr. Fantastic." His girlfriend, Sue Storm, possesses the power to manipulate light and create force fields, effectively becoming the Invisible Woman. Sue's younger brother, Johnny Storm, gains the incredible ability to engulf himself in flames, allowing him to fly and control fire as the Human Torch.

However, perhaps the most visually striking transformation occurs with Ben Grimm, Reed's loyal friend and pilot of the team's spacecraft. Ben is transformed into a massive, rock-like creature with superhuman strength, earning him the name "The Thing." Despite his imposing appearance, Ben harbors a deep sense of melancholy over his new form, struggling to come to terms with his perceived monstrousness.

Together, the Fantastic Four use their unique abilities to defend Earth from various threats, showcasing the power of teamwork and resilience in the face of adversity.

Matt Shakman, known for his work on "WandaVision" and "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters," has been tapped to direct the highly anticipated "Fantastic Four" film. The screenplay, penned by Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer, is set to bring Marvel's First Family to life on the big screen. While news of Pascal's casting as part of the ensemble leaked earlier, Marvel has remained tight-lipped about the rest of the cast. Filming is slated to kick off by the summer, promising an exciting new chapter in the superhero genre.



Pascal, one of Hollywood's most sought-after actors, is expected to start filming Season 2 of HBO's "The Last of Us" before preparing for his role as Richards. Quinn gained recognition for his compelling portrayal of Eddie Munson in Season 4 of "Stranger Things" after delivering standout performances in British TV. Moss-Bachrach, who recently received an Emmy for his role as Richie Jerimovich in FX's "The Bear," rounds out the talented cast.

Kirby, known for her portrayal of Princess Margaret in "The Crown" and her Oscar-nominated role in "Pieces of a Woman," has expressed interest in playing the Invisible Woman. "It would be a privilege to take on the role of Sue Storm," Kirby mentioned to Variety during the premiere of "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One" in 2023. "She's an incredible character."

Up until now, the Fantastic Four had remained outside the fold of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Their film rights were held by 20th Century Fox, which produced three movies featuring the iconic team. The first two, "Fantastic Four" and "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," released in 2005 and 2007 respectively, starred Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis, and Chris Evans. Then, in 2015, Fox attempted a reboot with Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, and Michael B. Jordan, but it failed critically and commercially. However, four years later, Disney acquired 21st Century Fox, finally bringing the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Studios fold.

Now Who can possibly be the main villain of this movie?

The casting for Dr. Victor Von Doom (Dr. Doom), the primary antagonist of the Fantastic Four, has not been announced for the upcoming reboot. There is speculation as to whether Dr. Doom will be included in the 2025 version or if his character will be reserved for a future installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Who is Dr Doom?:

Dr. Doom, also known as Victor Von Doom, is one of the most iconic villains in the Marvel Comics universe, primarily associated with the Fantastic Four. His origin story is a tragic one that has shaped him into the formidable antagonist he is known as today.

Victor Von Doom was born in the fictional European country of Latveria. From a young age, he showed immense intellect and skill in the field of science and technology. His brilliance earned him a scholarship to study in the United States, where he attended Empire State University alongside Reed Richards, who would later become Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four.

During his time at the university, Victor became obsessed with the idea of harnessing the power of magic and science to achieve ultimate control and dominance. He constructed a machine intended to communicate with the dead, hoping to reach his deceased mother. However, the experiment went awry, resulting in a horrific explosion that scarred Victor's face.

Expelled from the university and filled with bitterness and resentment, Victor retreated to the isolated mountains of Tibet, where he found refuge with a group of monks. Under their guidance, he further honed his intellect and learned the mystical arts. Eventually, he crafted a suit of armor, complete with a metal mask to conceal his disfigured face, and adopted the persona of Doctor Doom.

Returning to Latveria, Victor overthrew the ruling regime and declared himself its ruler, becoming the iron-fisted dictator of the small nation. He ruled with an iron fist, using his scientific genius, mastery of magic, and advanced technology to maintain control and further his ambitions of world domination.

Dr. Doom's rivalry with the Fantastic Four, particularly Reed Richards, stems from his belief that Richards was responsible for the accident that scarred him and ruined his chances at a successful future. This personal vendetta fuels his relentless pursuit of power and his desire to prove himself superior to his former classmate.

Over the years, Dr. Doom has clashed with numerous superheroes and villains, always striving to achieve his ultimate goal of conquering the world and establishing himself as its supreme ruler. Despite his villainous nature, he remains one of the most complex and compelling characters in the Marvel Comics universe, with his tragic origin serving as a driving force behind his actions.

This is the brief origin of Dr Doom. Well, there is a big possibility that he can be the main villain of this movie.
