Fantastic Four: 10 Theories For How They Can Join The MCU

2. A Disney+ TV Series

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier may have been delayed thanks to current world events, but it's clear that Disney+ remains a priority for Marvel Studios, hence why characters like She-Hulk, Moon Knight, and Ms. Marvel will all debut on the streaming service rather than in cinemas.

With that in mind, what's stopping the Fantastic Four from joining them? The 2015 reboot was a massive flop and hurt the brand in a big way, so even the Marvel Studios branding could make it difficult to convince paying moviegoers to give the heroes another chance. A TV series, on the other hand, would allow their origin to be told in greater detail, ensuring viewers get fully invested in the team before later following their story throughout the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

If Disney+ is good enough for those other characters (not to mention the new Captain America), there's no reason the Fantastic Four can't find a home there too. The streaming service would also be a great place to establish some of their biggest foes, whether that's Annihilus, Galactus, or even Mole Man.
