Fantastic Four: 10 Things The MCU Must Deliver

8. A Comic Accurate Take On Doctor Doom

In the first Fantastic Four movie, Victor Von Doom was a businessman who funded the team's trip into outer space. The sequel (Rise of the Silver Surfer) leaned a little more into the villain's comic book roots, but was ultimately another disappointment, and the less said about that travesty in 2015's reboot, the better. The point is, three movies in, and we still haven't seen THE Doctor Doom.

The MCU must change that, and doing so couldn't be easier; for starters, it should be established that he went to college with Reed Richards, and that the future Mister Fantastic played a role in the accident which left Victor horribly scarred.

Then, he should absolutely be the monarch of Latveria, a fictional nation, but one which could change the MCU every bit as much as Wakanda has. To begin with, a smaller role for Doom in Fantastic Four might be a good idea, but he's a villain with the potential to serve as a big bad to this entire shared world, so we don't necessarily need to see him contained to just the one franchise.
