Marvel Studios reportedly met with Mads Mikkelsen for the role of Doctor Doom in the MCU.
Although Doom is generally considered a Fantastic Four villain, the despotic ruler has fought nearly every major Marvel hero, including the Avengers, the X-Men and Doctor Strange. Victor von Doom rarely faces true defeat, however, because he thinks several moves ahead of his opponents.

Through sheer cunning and conviction, Doctor Doom has acquired immense power over the years. The first major instance was in Fantastic Four #57 (by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Joe Sinnott, and Artie Simek). Here, Doom invited the Silver Surfer into his castle, instilling the sentinel of the space ways with a false sense of trust. Doom then used this opportunity to steal the Surfer’s power cosmic for himself and used his newfound abilities to go on a sinister rampage across the globe.
On Instagram, @h_v_news shared a stunning fan poster made by @gcrdesignsyt that envisions Doctor Doom as an Avengers movie villain.
All the MCU’s Avengers movies have had exciting villains, ranging from Loki to Ultron to Thanos. Based on how powerful and intelligent Doom is in the comics, with him being a Fantastic Four villain that ends up being a threat to the whole Marvel Universe, Doom would make a perfect Avengers film foe.
There are many elements that make Doctor Doom’s MCU debut look likely to happen sooner rather than later. Doom has appeared in every Fantastic Four movie so far. In 2025, the MCU will finally get to release its version of Marvel’s First Family, with WandaVision’s Matt Shakman directing Fantastic Four. Doom appearing in the movie seems like a no-brainer, given his history with the superhero team across all media.
