    Annihilus would make for such a great movie villain if done right. Marvel got fantastic mileage out of him in the 2000s with Annhilation and his presence in Hickman's FF run.

    Which to be fair I doubt Fox could actually do.

    That is true but they have ALL fucked up Doom. Can you imagine a MCU Doom? He would be another Loki.

    At this point, I don't know how well the X-men would be able to fit into the MCU.

    The X-Men kind of exist seperate of the rest of the Marvel Universe in the comics anyways, only really interacting with the rest during big crossovers.

    Yeah even in comics they often don't know how to fit them in and often keep them in completely separate nations, islands, hell wasn't the school in the hell dimension for awhile?

    The X-Men have been headquartered in:

    Westchester (far away from where the Avengers/FF/Spider-Man all hang out)
    San Francisco
    Australia
    Westchester (again)
    San Francisco (again)
    Utopia
    Utopia AND Westchester
    Canada
    Free-roaming
    Limbo
    And finally, the middle of Central Park, putting them in range to actually interact with the Avengers regularly for the first time in 50 years.

    Edit: Just for fun, in that same span of time, the Avengers have been located in:
    A mansion in New York City
    A tower in a different part of the city
    An office building near where the tower was but uptown a little
    The mansion again

    And the Fantastic Four:
    A building in Manhattan
    A different building in Manhattan
    The original building again

    The biggest problem I see is that the niche is currently being occupied by the inhumans/nuhumans. They don't have origin stories- they were always mutants and there are few believable ways of suddenly introducing the idea that there are and have always been lots of powered people, many of which either can't hide their abilities or don't care to.

    The next film they're cutting out FF and going straight up Doom.

    Which is fine because Doom is awesome but I don't think Hollywood actually knows that. Doom can easily exist without FF, but FF aren't that interesting on their own.

    Fantastic Four are absolutely amazing if done right (Hickman or Millar runs), but the movies have never even remotely gotten close. Probably because the characters work best when portrayed in the context of a full family (with Franklin and Valeria), but the movies always insist on younger casts because Hollywood.

    There's only 1 FF story I've liked in a vacuum and that's when they basically go broke and have to move out of their tower and struggle with it. Otherwise it's not so much the FF that are awesome but Reed Richards is fucking OTT and can basically do anything.

    People are willing to give a lot of suspension of disbelief if the result is good. It would be easy enough for them to say something like investigating the new batch of inhumans has lead them to discover the existence of mutants.

    She needs to stop playing and act in a movie requiring her to show her tits.
