10 Ways To Get The Fantastic 4 Into The MCU (That Wouldn't Suck)

6. Use Dr Strange

As he begins exploring the weird magical realms opened up to him, Doctor Strange comes across a band of scientists who have become stranded while using science, instead of magic, to delve into the mystical realms.

These scientists are, of course, the Fantastic Four, and their encounter with Strange helps illustrate the multiverse of the MCU while helping Strange face his foe - let's say Dormammu, Mephisto or one of the many other mystical extra-dimensional foes.

The Fantastic Four fit with Strange's universe very well. For a start, Strange and FF nemesis Doctor Doom have some history together, with both of them tied up in mystical goings-on. Furthermore, the Fantastic Four provide a scientific counterpoint to Strange without having to get the Avengers wrapped up in whatever Strange is getting up to.

The spectacle of a flaming dude, gigantic rock man and invisible lady make fine entries in Strange’s parade of weirdness, and Reed Richards’ dimension-hopping voyaging explains how the Strange and the Four could meet.
