Avengers: Doomsday - Character Breakdown

2. The Fantastic Four

No, having the Avengers and the X-Men finally crossover isn't enough for the fifth Avengers film. Throw in the Thunderbolts*? Still not enough. Throw in the Fantastic Four and you've got yourself a movie. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach have all been officially confirmed to return to screens for the second time for Doomsday.

Of course, right now there is little and less known about the MCU's version of the Fantastic Four. Though what do know for sure is that the story will be based in the 1960s, proving that the incursions that are about to take place care about time as much as they care about space.

You've got all kinds of different dynamics to look forward to here, from Reed Richards meeting the rest of the super-intelligent superhero community, the potential beginnings of an Illuminati that won't get killed in a matter of seconds by Wanda Maximoff, and how about exploring the history between Sue Storm and Namor?

The Fantastic Four: First Steps doesn't release for another few months, but you will likely see a post-credit scene lead straight into Avengers: Doomsday, currently slated as the next film on the MCU slate, in the same way Thor: Ragnarok saw Thanos arrive in a precursor to those harrowing opening moments of Infinity War. This would suggest just how important Marvel's First Family will be.
