8 Things The Doctor Doom Movie Must Do
4. Shun The Fantastic Four
As the three movies Fox has brought us proves, it's difficult to get Fantastic Four right on the big screen. Maybe there's no appetite for their story in the current climate.
Regardless of how much the studio wants to take another stab at doing justice to Marvel's first family on screen, the Doom solo film should be something different.
This is Doctor Doom's movie and Noah Hawley would do to remember that.
He has the chance to make the first mainstream, supervillain-centre film and Victor Von Doom should be its focal point, with the Fantastic Four shunned entirely.
We're going to need Reed Richards, and probably Ben Grimm too, as a rivalry which goes onto to become deadly is born in a college science lab, but there's no reason to show the characters post-heroic transformation.
The bulk of the action should take place in Latveria, and there are so many Doom-centric stories that can be told independently of the Fantastic Four, his rise to power being a frontrunner.
