Fantastic Four: Doomsday Theory Connects to Doctor Strange 2?
Colaboradores
A new fan theory is making waves, suggesting a connection between the upcoming Fantastic Four movie and events depicted in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This theory, born from the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts*, posits that the Fantastic Four's ship might originate from Earth-838, a reality showcased in the Doctor Strange sequel.
The Earth-838 Connection
The theory, popularized by social media user @Comicodigy, centers on the idea that the ship glimpsed in the Thunderbolts* post-credits scene belongs to a version of the Fantastic Four from Earth-838. This version, potentially including John Krasinski's Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), could be seeking refuge on Earth-616 (the main MCU reality) after the Scarlet Witch's actions in Doctor Strange 2. However, the death of Krasinski's Mister Fantastic in that movie adds a layer of doubt to the theory for some fans.
Feige's Teaser Adds Fuel to the Fire
Adding intrigue to the speculation, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has hinted that the ship in Thunderbolts* might not be the same one belonging to the Fantastic Four we expect to see led by Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards. This ambiguity further fuels the discussion and encourages fans to consider alternative origins for the mysterious vessel.
Fantastic Four: First Steps and Avengers: Doomsday
Disney recently showcased a closer look at Fantastic Four: First Steps at CineEurope, hinting at exciting connections to Avengers: Doomsday. The Fantastic Four are set to officially debut in the MCU in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, slated for release in July 2025.
RDJ as Doctor Doom?
Speculation is also rife about the possibility of Robert Downey Jr. returning as Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four: First Steps. While unconfirmed, Feige's statements about the interconnected nature of the movies keep the possibility alive.
