Fantastic Four Director Says Doctor Doom Isn't In His Film
Briefly

Robert Downey Jr.'s teased return as Doctor Doom has sparked intense speculation about his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly regarding the upcoming film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. However, director Matt Shakman's confirmation that Doom is not included in his film seems to temper fans' expectations. Despite this, theories persist, with fans suggesting that Shakman's choice of words allows for plausible deniability, given Marvel's history of separate responsibilities among its directors, including post-credit scenes that may hint at Doom's involvement in future MCU narratives.
"Doom is not a part of my film, and therefore not a part of my purview." This raises questions about whether there are hints of his presence in the larger Marvel universe.
Some fans interpret Shakman's statement as technically true but not the entire truth, hinting at possible Marvel secrets beyond directorial scope.
The post-credit scene in Thunderbolts features the Fantastic Four logo, leading fans to speculate about Doctor Doom's involvement in the upcoming MCU narrative.
With Marvel directors separated from post-credit reveals, Shakman's comment about Doom not being part of his film has been debated among fans for its implications.
