Fantastic Four director says Robert Downey Jr's Doctor Doom is being saved for Avengers: Doomsday - "Doom's a great character, but he takes up a lot of air"

Robert Downey Jr announces his Doctor Doom casting at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.

Fantastic Four Matt Shakman is hedging fan expectations about whether Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom, the Fantastic Four's most iconic enemy, will appear in the upcoming FF film. And if Shakman's latest remarks to Entertainment Weekly are to be believed, there will be a distinct lack of Doom in his big MCU film.
