Marvel Fan Theories Anticipate John Malkovich’s Role in Fantastic Four

Date:

Key Takeaways:

– Crazy fan theories predict John Malkovich as Victor Von Doom variant in Fantastic Four.
– Speculation leads to possible addition of Robert Downey Jr. as another Doom variant in later Avengers saga.
– The theory involves an intricate plot that includes war among character variants, plans for multiversal rule, and redemption arcs.
– This proposed storyline has experienced some challenges, primarily due to actor availability and true character depiction.

Ready for a plot twist, Marvel fans? Marvel Universe enthusiasts are once again formulating their own imaginative storylines, particularly surrounding the Fantastic Four project and beyond, despite an official confirmation yet to be unveiled. One fan theory that’s currently stealing the spotlight is based around the unverified casting of actor John Malkovich in the upcoming Fantastic Four film, “First Steps”.

A Complex Theory for a Complex Universe

Though nothing is certain, some fans suggest that Malkovich could be cast as Victor Von Doom, a variant character who is expected to counterbalance Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of the character, Doctor Doom. This elaborate theory posits that Malkovich’s Doom will play both the savior and the betrayer of the Fantastic Four as they attempt to curb Galactus’ interstellar menace.

Proposing a unique story arc from the comics, the theory hints that the siphoned cosmic energy from Galactus will empower Malkovich’s Doom to traverse the multiverse. Simultaneously, he and RDJ’s Doom will be part of the “Council of Dooms” – a congregation of multiverse variants of Doctor Doom aiming to usurp the Kangs’ authority.

Duplicity, Warfare and Redemption – More to the Doom Saga

However, this theory adds another dimension to the story. Each Doom variant is anticipated to plot against the others to gain absolute control over the multiverse. If prophesied right, this would lead to a cosmic war between Doom and Kang coupled with internal feud among the Dooms.

Even in the turmoil, Malkovich’s Doom could emerge as triumphant, becoming the mighty God Emperor Doom. This twist can set the ground for RDJ’s Doom’s redemption arc, aiding the super-heroes to defeat Malkovich’s Doom during the events of Secret Wars.

Issues with the Theory – An Uncertain Antagonist?

Intricate as it is, this fan theory is not without its problems. One key issue is the uncertainty of Kang’s portrayal, who is central to the whole battle narrative, as actor Jonathan Majors is no longer a part of the MCU. Thus, either Kang’s role would be kept off-screen or the character may be re-cast.

Additionally, this purported plot deviates from the produced idea of RDJ’s Doctor Doom as a central villain. Instead, according to the fans, this portrayal ends up being an anti-hero, a potential watered-down role that could upset followers and downplay RDJ’s comeback to the franchise.

Fandom Excitement and Speculation Continue

Marvel followers are known for their anticipatory excitement and speculation surrounding future projects. Regardless of whether these theories prove accurate or not, it undeniably displays fans’ attachment to the captivating narratives and vibrant characters of the Marvel Universe. Fans will have to wait until the official release of Fantastic Four and subsequent movies to see if these predictions come true.

It’s all part of the fun; conjecturing, hypothesizing, and a whole lot of waiting. Until then, MCU enthusiasts can enjoy re-watching the existing Avengers saga, available for streaming on Disney+.
