Superman flies high over Fantastic Four in superhero box office showdown.
By Prashant for PuneriPages.in
Alright, so hereโs the thingโI wasnโt planning on writing this. But the second I read the Los Angeles Times report about the Fantastic Four post-credits scene, my brain basically exploded. I mean, this isnโt just a cool little end-credit moment. If itโs even half true, weโre talking about something that could reshape the entire MCU.
And because Iโm the kind of fan who overthinks everything Marvel (you too?), I had to break this down, piece by piece. Letโs do this.

The Scene Thatโs Got Everyone Talking (Including Me)
1. Doctor Doom Enters Like a Total Boss
As per the LA Times, the scene shows Doctor Doomโnot teased, not mentioned, but actually shows him. Full appearance. And Iโm sitting here like: finally. Weโve waited long enough for the MCU to bring in one of the greatest villains of all time. Doom isnโt just smart or dangerousโheโs iconic. If Marvel gets this right, we might just get the most complex, terrifying villain since Thanos.
2. And ThenโHe Talks to the Avengers??
This is the moment where I yelled โWHAT?โ out loud. The report says Doom directly warns the Avengers. Not the Fantastic Four, not the X-Menโthe Avengers. I donโt know about you, but that instantly told me this isnโt just a villain intro. This is a power move. Heโs not coming for one teamโheโs stepping into the spotlight as the next global threat.
3. The Word That Gave Me Chills: ‘Doomsday’
Apparently, Doom drops the word โDoomsdayโ in the scene. And not just as a throwaway lineโit sounds like a codename or an event. Thatโs when my comic-book brain kicked into gear. If youโve read the Secret Wars arcs, you know what this could mean. Weโre not talking small stakes hereโweโre talking about full-on multiverse-level chaos.
So What Could This All Lead To?
1. Doom is Probably the Next Big Bad
Iโm just gonna say it: Kangโs time might be over before it ever truly began. With all the off-screen issues, Marvel needed a Plan Bโand wow, what a backup plan. Doomโs the kind of villain you build an entire saga around. If this reportโs true, Marvel mightโve just put their next chess piece on the board.
2. Secret Wars is Basically a Lock
I mean, come on. โDoomsdayโ? Doom speaking to the Avengers? Itโs all pointing in one directionโSecret Wars. And not the old-school version either, but the newer 2015 one where Doom literally becomes a god. This feels like the beginning of that long road, and honestly, Iโm buckled in already.
3. Wait… Which Avengers Is He Talking To?
This is where things get fun. If Doomโs talking to โthe Avengers,โ who exactly does that mean now? Sam Wilsonโs Cap? Shang-Chi? Captain Marvel? Maybe a couple members of the Fantastic Four? This could be the first real peek into what the next Avengers lineup looks likeโand that alone makes the scene a big deal.
Quick Reality Check (Because Iโm Still a Bit in Shock)
I know it sounds too good to be true. And while the LA Times is pretty rock solid, this isnโt confirmed by Marvel yet. So yeah, keep that in mind. No need to start designing your Doom cosplay just yet. (But like… maybe get ready?)
Final Thoughts From My Marvel-Obsessed Brain
If this report is realโand I desperately hope it isโthen Marvel just dropped the biggest post-credits bomb since Nick Fury stepped out of the shadows. Doctor Doom. Talking to the Avengers. Saying โDoomsday.โ
This is the kind of scene that doesnโt just tease the futureโit defines it. We might be standing at the very start of Marvelโs next mega saga.
And honestly? Iโm all in.
Stay hyped. Stay curious. Stay nerdy. And yeahโrefresh that newsfeed. Something big is coming.
