Marvel fans who had pinned their hopes on Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom showing up during the events of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Fantastic Four: First Steps may want to sit down. This is going to sting.

Speaking in the , director Matt Shakman appeared to unequivocally deny rumors that Doom would show his face – in a manner of speaking – in the upcoming Marvel mov𝐆ie this July.

"Doom is not a p🌠art of my film, and therefore not a part of my purview," Shakman said.

Of course, semantics could be in play here. After all, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thunderbolts post-credits scene was directed by the Russo brothers and set up the events of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Doomsday. There's every chance Doctor Doom won't be a part of Shakman's cut of Fantastic Four, but could be tacked on to the end of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Phase 6 opener in a surprise after-credits stinger.

Whispers that Robert Downey Jr. would make his MCU comeback ahead of schedule in Fantastic Four originally stemmed from an that suggested t🦋he Marvel villain would appear in First Steps. Whether that comes to pass remains to be seen – but the Fantastic Four director is doing his best to run interference.

Unfortunately, not everything has been plugged up. Fantastic Four spoilers have been leaking out, first thanks to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a Funko Pop figure revealing the existence of Reed and Sue's baby, Franklin.
