How Fantastic Four Movie Plans to Set Up Avengers Secret Wars With New Actors

As a lifestyle expert with over two decades of experience in the entertainment industry, I’ve seen my fair share of superhero reboots and cinematic universes. The upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps promises to be an exciting addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), especially considering Robert Downey Jr.’s return as Dr. Doom.


In the upcoming stages, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up for an exciting transition. A fresh team of Fantastic Four is currently being developed, while Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as the villainous Dr. Doom.

“The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a much-awaited movie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, given that its storyline, which was previously concluded, is now being resumed by the creators.”

On top of everything else, it’s the anticipation surrounding how the forthcoming film aligns with the Marvel Cinematic Universe that really piques interest. This is particularly intriguing given that another highly anticipated movie, Avengers: Secret Wars, is also on the horizon. At present, all we can confirm is that The Fantastic Four: First Steps will be linked to both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

The forthcoming film takes place in a futuristic yet nostalgic depiction of the 1960s, making it distinct from other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) realms. Given that the cinematic universe has previously explored the idea of multiple universes, there’s a chance we might see a version of Reed Richards as part of the Council of Reeds.

It is possible that these versions indicate a potential reappearance of Ioan Gruffudd, known for his role as Reed in the 2005 and 2007 Fantastic Four movies, and Miles Teller, who portrayed the character in the 2015 Fantastic Four film.

As a diehard fan, I can’t help but strategize the perfect setup – and that’s by tapping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s iconic post-credit scenes! Just like the electrifying reunion of the Reeds in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, this move promises to bring back our beloved characters once more. I can hardly contain my excitement!

Since Robert Downey Jr.’s comeback was revealed in July, fans have been speculating if they might catch a glimpse of his updated character in any upcoming movies. Although no confirmation has been given by the creators, there’s still a chance that Victor Von Doom may emerge as the antagonist for Marvel’s First Family, potentially paving the way for Avengers: Secret Wars.

In July 2025, the movie titled “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is set to be released. This project is being overseen by Matt Shakman, who previously directed WandaVision. The main cast includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing. Additionally, the talented actors Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and John Malkovich are part of the cast for this film.
