Ever since Robert Downey Jr. blew our multiversal minds at San Diego Comedian-Con final yr when he revealed he was returning to the MCU as Physician Doom, Marvel fanatics have been making an attempt to determine simply when Victor Von Doom would seem. After the Thunderbolts* post-credit scene appeared to trace at Dr. Doom’s arrival within the upcoming The Improbable 4: First Steps, director Matt Shakman has emerged to barely crush these desires.
In an interview with Empire Journal, Shakman plainly asserted that “Doom shouldn’t be part of my movie, and subsequently not part of my purview.” That needs to be it, proper? Flawed. Followers in denial (and delusion) are deciphering Shakman’s statements as technically true however not the total fact.
Some followers are specializing in how Shakman particularly talked about that Doom shouldn’t be a part of his movie or his purview. That sounds, they argue, like an try to determine believable deniability, given how Marvel has separated sure duties on its movies. After Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier revealed to ComicBook.com that the movie’s post-credit scene was filmed weeks earlier than the theatrical launch, the Russo Brothers confirmed they had been those who filmed it, slightly than Schreier himself. That instructed Marvel followers {that a} movie’s director doesn’t need to be concerned with any post-credit reveals, which might align with Shakman’s assertion that Doom has nothing to do together with his efforts on the movie.
Within the Thunderbolts* post-credit scene, the New Avengers get a notification that an unidentified plane had entered Earth’s environment earlier than we see the long-lasting “4″ brand of the Improbable 4 emblazoned on the aspect of the ship. Doom has hijacked the Improbable 4’s ship a number of instances within the comedian books, so it’s not far-fetched to consider he may do the identical within the MCU.
We’ll have to attend till July 25 to see if these theories are something extra than simply fanboy fantasies.
