But since Doctor Doom is known for his rivalry with the Fantastic Four, and particularly Reed Richards, might they take a more prominent spot at the head of the Avengers? Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards in Fantastic Four: First Steps. “So he was the perfect person for it.”“Where he goes in Avengers: Doomsday is for Avengers: Doomsday to do.”But as for what part Reed Richards, and the rest of the Fantastic Four, do in Avengers Doomsday, that’s up to the Russo Brothers, Shakman says. “Where he goes in Avengers: Doomsday is for Avengers: Doomsday to do.”So we don’t know yet how prominent of a part Reed will be playing in the events of Avengers: Doomsday, though we do know he may be fighting Alan Cummings’ Nightcrawler, or any number of X-Men. Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters December 18, 2026.
