Since less than a week ago Marvel Studios, with Kevin Feige at the helm, unveiled the company’s plans for the coming years, All kinds of theories have been unleashed about what we can see in some of the announced franchises. And of fantastic four It is one of those that needs a lot of love because the films that have come out over the last 20 years have been made to eat separately, with levels of quality (film and lore) that were far from what fans expected.
The possible villains of The Fantastic Four
The fact is that those same Marvel fans have once again renewed their hopes around this group of superheroes commanded by Mr. Fantastic and made up of the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and the Thing that, if there are no new pandemics or worsen wars and crises, will return to theaters on November 8, 2024.
The fact is that just a few months ago, at the beginning of May, we could already see a first preview of what awaits us from fantastic four in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, when the protagonist travels to a world within another universe and is seen with an Illuminati where Reed Richards is present, played by John Krasinski. I mean, Mr. Fantastic.
So now, far from dwelling on the protagonists that we already know who they will be, let’s look at the comics to understand what dangers they might face these superheroes and that, in addition, make sense within the Marvel Studios UCM. Do you think there are many? Take a look at our candidates:
Mole Man
One of the most ridiculous villains that the Marvel company has. This scientist turned supervillain we think could be a good introductory antagonist for the superteam, as long as Kevin Feige’s decide that he doesn’t have much experience in the UCM.
Super Skrull
This villain is one of those who would make the most sense within the UCM. The Super Skrull is the leader of this race of aliens, with the special ability to copy superpowers, and with Secret Invasion just around the corner… we see it very possible!
Annihilus
One of the most powerful villains in the entire Marvel universe. This cosmic entity with a thirst for conquest could fit in with galactic story arcs of the characters, since in terms of power it is very similar to the Celestials.
Galactus
While we’d love to see the Eater of Worlds in the near future, we believe that Marvel Studios reserves him as the great antagonist of a hypothetical… Phase 9?, since it is one of the most powerful entities in the Marvel Universe of comics.
Doctor Doom
The quintessential villain of the Fantastic Four is the one we thought could make his UCM debut sooner, because this character has sometimes served as Loki, who sometimes collaborates with the heroes, but always for his own benefit, and it would be a good idea if he had years of development. In fact, there are rumors that we could see him as early as November this year at Black Panther Wakanda Forever.
What do you want, right?
