‘Aveengers: Doomsday’ Report Teases Doctor Doom’s Story With The Fantastic Four

Is Doctor Doom a friend or foe to the Fantastic Four? A rumor suggests that the characters may have a complicated relationship heading into Avengers: Doomsday.

One of the biggest questions fans have going into Avengers: Doomsday is how Doctor Doom will interact with the Fantastic Four. Bringing in a villain so integral to the team’s identity in a movie focused on the Avengers is considered a bold choice (and, to many, a stupid choice). Yet despite how closely people are watching this aspect of the film, the rumor mill has been mostly silent.

This may have been because the truth actually spoils a major twist heading into Avengers: Doomsday. A rumor from MyTimeToShineHello sheds some light on Doctor Doom’s dynamic with Marvel’s First Family. Surprisingly, it seems as though the notorious villain may actually be teaming up with the Fantastic Four through most of the film.

“In Avengers: Doomsday, Victor asks the Fantastic Four for help with the Incursions. They travel together to the MCU in their ship to warn everyone, then join forces to head to the X-Men universe – the source of the next Incursion. They have to fix it before that universe destroys their own.”

This rumored setup immediately flips what many fans expect from a Doctor Doom story. For decades, Doom has been portrayed as a ruthless rival of the Fantastic Four, driven by pride, power, and personal grudges. Seeing him ask for help, rather than seize control, suggests that the threat in Avengers: Doomsday may be bigger than any one villain. Incursions, which involve entire universes colliding, are exactly the kind of disaster that could force even the most dangerous characters to work together.

Doctor Doom’s Role In Avengers: Doomsday

This rumor actually lines up with prior reports fans have gotten abou the role Doctor Doom plays in Avengers: Doomsday. It seems as though the villain won’t be the antagonist at least for a large portion of this movie. Though even then, it may come as a shock to long time fans to see such an iconic villain working alongside the Fantastic Four.

If this information proves accurate, it could mark one of the most complex portrayals of Doctor Doom in live action. Instead of being framed as purely evil, Doom may be shown as a calculating leader who believes his methods are justified when the survival of entire worlds is at stake. This approach would allow the film to explore his intelligence, authority, and moral gray areas without fully redeeming him. It also opens the door for tension between Doom and the Fantastic Four, even while they share the same goal.

The idea of the Fantastic Four traveling across universes with their greatest enemy also creates natural drama. Trust does not come easily when Doom is involved. Every decision he makes would be questioned. Every plan could hide another motive. This could give the story emotional weight while still delivering the large scale spectacle expected from a major Avengers event film.

Of course, this rumor only covers the events of Avengers: Doomsday, and doesn’t give any insight onto future projects like Secret Wars. It’s likely, whether at the end of this film or throughout the next one, that Doctor Doom will turn heel and properly face off against the Fantastic Four. And hopefully, when that time comes, it’ll be as glorious as fans imagine.

Many fans believe that this temporary alliance may be setting the stage for something much darker. Marvel has often used partnerships with villains as a way to build tension before a major betrayal. If Doom eventually turns on the Fantastic Four, the emotional impact could be stronger because viewers will have seen him fight alongside them first. That kind of storytelling allows audiences to understand his logic before fully rejecting his actions.

There is also the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe to consider. Introducing Doctor Doom in such a layered role could signal a shift in how major villains are handled moving forward. Instead of clear heroes and villains, Avengers: Doomsday may focus on clashing agendas, uneasy alliances, and characters who operate in the gray. For longtime comic readers, this would reflect many of Doom’s most memorable storylines, where his brilliance and ambition make him both terrifying and strangely compelling.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters in December 2026. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
