Doctor Doom Movie Story Details Revealed By Noah Hawley

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at South by Southwest, Noah Hawley shared story details on his planned movie centered on Fantastic Four villain Doctor Doom.

At Comic-Con 2017, Noah Hawley announced he was developing a film about Fantastic Four villain Doctor Doom and the writer completed his script for the 20th Century Fox project in 2018. However, Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s entertainment assets will soon bring the Fantastic Four characters under the control of Marvel Studios and company president Kevin Feige, leaving the future of Noah Hawley’s Doctor Doom film in an uncertain state. However, Noah Hawley offered fans some insight into his vision for the story and tone of his Doctor Doom movie, noting how it would be unlike most superhero films.

Noah Hawley described the film as a geopolitical thriller that would begin with Doctor Doom putting a dome over the fictional country he rules called Latveria. Doctor Doom would then invite a female journalist to be his voice to the world. Unfortunately, Noah Hawley noted that he is currently uncertain if the project will move forward after the deal between Disney and Fox closes, as Kevin Feige did not provide a direct answer on whether or not he should continue working on the project.

Fans will likely have a better understanding of what the future holds for the MCU after Avengers: Endgame hits theaters next month.

Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Endgame is expected to star Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Paul Rudd, Jeremy Renner, Brie Larson, Josh Brolin and Chris Pratt.

Avengers: Endgame is scheduled to be released in theaters on April 26, 2019.
