I figured out The Fantastic Four plot

Summary

In this video, the creator dives into a fan theory about the upcoming *Fantastic Four* film in the MCU, blending elements of multiverse theory, alternate realities, and the potential for Doctor Doom's involvement. The theory suggests the Fantastic Four may have gained their powers in an alternate universe and are inadvertently causing incursion events. A key plot point involves a variant of Tony Stark becoming the new Doctor Doom, setting the stage for a multiversal showdown. The video teases how this storyline could connect to larger MCU events like *Secret Wars* and Dr. Doom’s evolving role.

Takeaways

• 😀 The theory suggests that the *Fantastic Four* might end up in an alternate universe due to an exploration mission gone wrong, leading to them gaining powers and becoming celebrities.
• 😀 The alternate reality theory aligns with ideas from the 1998 *Lost in Space* movie, where a family gets lost in space due to a malfunction, mirroring the *Fantastic Four*'s accidental journey.
• 😀 The *Fantastic Four* would try to find their way back to Earth-616 while facing multiversal incursions and threats, including potential clashes with Dr. Doom.
• 😀 The theory is rooted in the *Ultimate Universe* reboot by Jonathan Hickman, where Reed Richards uses *The Bridge* device to cross different realities, influencing multiversal events.
• 😀 The *Fantastic Four*'s multiversal travel could bring them into conflict with the primary MCU Earth, leading to a storyline centered on both their return and the prevention of multiversal destruction.
• 😀 Dr. Doom’s role in the MCU might be portrayed as a variant of Tony Stark, who becomes the villain after his narcissistic tendencies escalate, turning him into the 'Merchant of Death.'
• 😀 The theory speculates that the MCU's Dr. Doom may begin as a more straightforward, less complicated villain compared to his traditional comic portrayal, with simple motivations.
• 😀 The plot may explore how *The Maker*, a version of Reed Richards, manipulates science and multiversal power in a bid to affect entire realities, possibly making the *Fantastic Four* the antagonists.
• 😀 The video suggests that Tony Stark's variant could evolve into Dr. Doom, potentially creating a major conflict with the real Victor Von Doom, setting up multiversal battles.
• 😀 The concept of *incursions* — where universes collide due to multiversal travel — would be a central theme, with the *Fantastic Four* playing a role in preventing such catastrophic events.

Q & A

What is the main theory presented in the video regarding the plot of the upcoming Fantastic Four film?

The main theory suggests that the Fantastic Four team comes from Earth 616 but got trapped in an alternate reality due to multiversal travel. They are constantly jumping between realities trying to return to their home universe. The theory also proposes that their adventures will tie into the events of 'Kang Dynasty.'

How does the 1998 film 'Lost in Space' relate to the theory about the Fantastic Four?

'Lost in Space' serves as an inspiration for the theory. The Robinson family in the film gets trapped in a distant part of the universe and travels through a fissure that sends them 30 years into the future. The theory draws a parallel between this and the Fantastic Four, suggesting they could have gotten stuck in an alternate reality in a similar way.

What is the connection between the Fantastic Four and the concept of the multiverse?

The theory argues that the Fantastic Four, during an exploratory mission, unintentionally traveled through a fissure in space that led them into the multiverse. They are now stuck in an alternate reality and are attempting to find a way back to their original universe, Earth 616.

How does Jonathan Hickman's relaunch of the Ultimate Universe factor into the theory?

Hickman's reboot of the Ultimate Universe is referenced to explain the power of Reed Richards. In the theory, Reed's intelligence allows him to significantly influence the trajectory of the new reality they are in, pushing it into a scientific age of enlightenment, much like how the Maker (a villainous version of Reed Richards) altered universes in Hickman's Ultimate Universe storyline.

What role do Reed Richards and his intelligence play in the alternate reality they end up in?

Reed Richards’ intelligence is crucial in shaping the new reality. In the alternate universe, Reed’s contributions lead to the development of a scientific age, making the Fantastic Four highly popular and influential in this new world.

What is an incursion, and how does it relate to the Fantastic Four’s potential return?

An incursion occurs when universes collide due to multiversal travel. The theory suggests that the Fantastic Four’s presence in the new reality may be causing such an incursion, which could be the reason for the explosion seen in the trailer. If they attempt to return, their universe could be at risk of colliding with another.

How is Dr. Doom expected to be involved in the Fantastic Four movie, according to the theory?

The theory speculates that Dr. Doom will play a role by possibly being a variant of Tony Stark. This version of Dr. Doom might learn about the multiverse from Reed Richards and attempt to seize power across realities, potentially creating a larger threat to the multiverse.

What is the bridge in Marvel Comics, and how could it be used in the upcoming film?

In Marvel Comics, the bridge is a tool that allows Reed Richards to view and access other realities, like flipping through TV channels. The theory suggests that Reed Richards may create a version of this bridge to help the Fantastic Four navigate the multiverse, potentially finding a way back to Earth 616.

How does the character of Tony Stark factor into Dr. Doom's potential origin in the MCU?

The theory proposes that Tony Stark might become a variant of Dr. Doom due to his unaltered narcissistic and power-hungry nature. If Tony Stark never experienced a life-changing event like the one in 'Iron Man 1,' he could evolve into Dr. Doom, a manufacturer of death and destruction across the multiverse.

What could be the implications if Dr. Doom is a variant of Tony Stark in the MCU?

If Dr. Doom is a variant of Tony Stark, it would provide a simplified explanation for his motivations and actions in the multiverse. His desire for power and control over the multiverse could stem from his narcissism, leading him to become a dangerous antagonist in the upcoming Marvel films.
