Where are the Avengers?
One last fight.
Doctor Doom
Victor Von Doom is the greatest single character
in the entire MCU, bar None.
Now you can keep anyone else.
You've made Doctor Doom against anyone because
Victor softens and you will now suffer, you know?
That's
That's why it's a no brainer.
He's the first character to ever have a substantial backstory
that we could understand, and that gives context both in the old
traditional Cold War minus state kind of idea and also as someone
who really got disfigured, but his family taken from him
and then takes all that, takes his skill has the wounds
and has to wear the mask and continues on to do what he did.
The Fantastic Four suck, right?
They suck full stop.
They then sort of like Marvel's first attempt to make it grow
and they suck, right?
That's why the X-Men Rule and Fantastic four suck.
However, the fantastic Four birth, the Skrulls and they birthed Doctor Doom.
So while they suck, they also gave rise to the greatest
two villain group and single villain ever.
Give me.
Give me
that success from that lame ass group of, like,
Flame on, man.
Welcome back everyone
it's Charlie
Marvel dropped another secret invasion clip, all about the Fantastic Four and Doctor
Doom.
They're also getting ready to announce the full cast
in the new Fantastic Four movie pretty soon.
So we'll break it all down.
really love hearing the Marvel actors being such huge fans
of those characters and so. Well, right.
Like you can definitely tell Ben Mendelsohn knows his shit.
Give me.
If you're new to the channel, I'm doing videos
for all the Secret Invasion episodes.
Be sure to subscribe to get them.
We're also doing a giveaway for Disney Plus memberships.
All you have to do to enter is be a subscriber
and let me know where you want all the Fantastic Four characters in films
like Doctor Doom to cross over in the upcoming Marvel movies.
the really cool thing about this new secret invasion video is one
How much of a doctor doom stand Ben Mendelsohn is in real life.
He's a genuine comic book fan.
You can tell he gets that the Fantastic Four characters and the X-Men two.
the reasons why he's talking so much about them is both because Marvel
is getting ready to debut new versions of all those characters,
like we have the new Fantastic Four movie coming.
Doctor Doom will also appear in a different upcoming Marvel movie.
They've already been a bunch of Easter eggs
for all those characters in like John Krasinski's
version of Reed Richards Inside Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
and there's the new X-Men solo movie that they'll release later on.
not to forget.
They're also doing the X-Men, the animated series, X-Men 97, Season one.
it's kind of like the continuation of X-Men,
the animated series that's supposed to come at the beginning of next year, too.
And I will do videos for when it does arrive.
but on
top of all this, Ben Mendelsohn just grew up during an era
when all those characters Fantastic Four X-Men,
were the most popular characters in Marvel Comics next to people like Spider-Man,
The X-Men basically ruled the eighties
and the nineties just from a sales perspective.
That's why it was such a big deal When Marvel Phase one happened
in the first few movies, two Avengers went so well
because even though Robert Downey Jr was fantastic as Iron Man at the time,
Iron Man was viewed as a B tier character in the comics.
so was Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye Black Widow.
Kevin Feige, he has talked about this a lot like it was a huge deal
because they were like, How can we make this huge
franchise of movies with a bunch of characters
that nobody cares about right now in the comics cut to a few years later?
They did pretty well.
I think.
But. From a sheer pop culture sales perspective, Spider-Man
is probably one of the most,
if not the most popular character of all time from the comics.
the next closest ones would be like Batman and Superman
Everybody else, for the most part, is like way, way lower on the sales charts.
that's why
when Marvel went bankrupt in the nineties and had to sell rights to its characters,
the Spider-Man rights and the X-Men rights, Fantastic
Four were snatched up by Sony and Fox right away, and they didn't really care
about the Marvel Phase one characters like Iron Man, Captain America,
because at the time no one thought that they make for good movies.
like nobody cares about them.
If we make a movie about them, it's not going to make any money.
How wrong they were.
one of the other major
Fantastic Four Easter eggs during secret invasion is the Super Skrull.
Planet Earth.
I am the super strong
emissary of the Imperial Strong Expeditionary Forces.
I have been appointed by Emperor.
I'm Mark to be your new leader.
So the whole concept of the Super Skrull is in the comics.
It was one character
there was created by the school emperor at that time to fight the Fantastic
Four characters back in the original comics
he was given the powers of all the Fantastic Four characters.
And they had an Easter egg for that
during Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer,
where you see Johnny Storms with the other characters use multiple powers
from all the different characters at the same time.
what it seems like they're doing in the Secret Invasion series, though?
Is it?
They're grafting powers from a bunch of different Marvel
based characters that they've already done in the movies,
like Easter Eggs, four previous Marvel movies,
and it'll be a bunch of super Skrulls the other major reason
why they're talking so much about Fantastic Four during the secret invasion
clip is because the Skrulls are primarily fantastic Four characters.
They debuted in Fantastic Four.
Number two back in the sixties.
the reason why you didn't see a ton of Fantastic
four references are characters
in the first Captain Marvel movie when they introduce Skrulls to the MCU.
Was because at the time Marvel hadn't got the rights back to its characters.
The box Disney deal hadn't gone down yet, so they couldn't use
any of those Fantastic Four or X-Men at the time now that's different.
We're getting Deadpool three.
There's going to be a bunch of those Fox versions of the X-Men and Fantastic
Four characters coming back.
It's going to be sort of like the Spider-Man
No Way Home for the Fox Marvel characters, really hoping.
Chris Evans also comes back in cameos. This is Johnny Storm.
He did say that he would be willing to do that.
He'd be way quicker to come back as Johnny Storm than he would be as his captain.
America.
generally, the Fox Disney deal, having gone down a couple of years ago,
is why you're seeing so many Fantastic Four, Doctor
Doom Easter eggs, even X-Men Easter eggs in the current Marvel movies and TV shows
like Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness, probably the best example of that,
like literally seeing a version of Reed Richards
there's been some X-Men Easter Eggs, but the first, like real big X-Men thing
that's going to be happening will be in Deadpool three.
during the Secret Invasion episodes, though, Reed Richards, Ben Grimm's
who storm Johnny Storm, even Doctor Doom not supposed to show up
during those episodes, but a lot of what Nick Fury and the good Skrulls are doing
with the saber Space station will connect with the Fantastic Four characters.
primarily because they're a space based team
that just happens to live on planet Earth.
Like most of the biggest Fantastic Four villains come from space somewhere.
Galactus, for example, is supposed to be one of the metaphorically and literally
biggest characters in the new Fantastic Four movie.
There are even reports that Antonio Banderas
will be playing the characters he had to imagine,
like the Puss in Boots sounding version of Galactus.
He does have a really good speaking voice, though.
He'll make you feel really good about yourself as he destroys your planet.
in the present day,
the MCU, though,
there are some rumors that they're actually going to do the Fantastic
Four movie plot just a little bit differently.
big twist is that it might wind up being a period piece
set in the 1960s in a time travel adventure
where they're kicked back into time through an experiment that goes wrong
and they have to find their way back to the present
by the events of Avengers 5 Kang Dynasty.
But ultimately.
The new Fantastic
Four characters will be interacting with the present day Avengers.
Marvel just canceled their Comic-Con plans that there's no big Marvel panel
that's going to be happening.
They were going to announce the cast of the Fantastic Four they're
and even though there were a bunch of actors
that were announced a while ago,
reportedly some of those actors have passed
because of the delays with all those strikes,
pretty much everything has been delayed indefinitely through the summer.
reportedly right now, the only actor that's locked in is Daveed
Diggs as the thing.
So if you weren't happy with some of the casting choices
that were announced a little while ago, it sounds like those actors
won't wind up playing the characters.
So you should be safe,
Let me know in the comments who you want to play all those characters.
Even though most people believe that it will not wind up being John Krasinski,
Coming back is another alternate reality version of Reed Richards
In the other big change they're making is that Doctor Doom
isn't supposed to be in the new Fantastic Four movie.
He's not going to be a villain in the first movie.
He might be a reference in some way,
but he's not supposed to be a big character during that.
He'll appear in some other Marvel movie, I think part of the reason for
that is they're leaning into the whole technology versus magic.
Like he's meant to be a man of both magic and science.
so he's a character that works in Iron Man technology based stories,
but he also works in Doctor Strange, magic based stories to see, you could put him
in pretty much any Marvel story that you would want to tell. end.
I think part of the idea with this new version of the Fantastic
Four characters is that Marvel wants to do something that hasn't been done before,
So they don't want the characters to be exactly
like they were during the Fox Fantastic Four movies.
in they started to get into that during Black Panther, which kind of forever.
But reportedly they took out a lot of the doctor doom
Easter eggs that they had planned on early when they
started to do the name for character.
