10 MCU Castings Everyone Expects To Happen

While Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was being shot in Atlanta last year, actress Lake Bell was spotted on the movie's set, and given that she was also seen wearing a large, clothing-concealing coat, it didn't take much deduction to figure out she was playing a juicy, secretive role in the sequel.

Rumours soon began to spread that Bell would be playing Lucia von Bardas, who in the Fantastic Four comics served as the Prime Minister of Latveria for Doctor Doom.

Given that Doom is widely rumoured to be referenced in some manner in Wakanda Forever - and possibly even make a cameo - in order to set the stage for 2024's Fantastic Four movie, it'd certainly make sense for von Bardas to show up.

Though more recent rumours have pointed to Bell possibly playing an entirely original character called Dr. Graham, it would be totally on-brand for the MCU to have von Bardas hidden in plain sight under a pseudonym, only to reveal her true presence later in the story.

Thankfully we don't have to wait long at all to find out the truth for ourselves.
