also, Michael Douglas worked because it established Ant-Man and gave us a reason to just jump to Scott Lang, who in my opinion, is the Best Ant-Man incarnation. you're never gonna get a Fantastic 4 movie without Ben and Reed. (especially not Ben since the Thing is probably the most popular of the Fantastic 4.) but what I would like is do what the comics did, and use the characters like they've already been established, and then go back and do the backstory. there's too much backstory for the 4 and Doom to just make a movie that introduces all of them faithfully.

I'm not saying that they should make a Fantastic Four movie without Ben and Reed. I just think that the Fantastic Four should be retired as superheroes in the modern day. You can totally have a Fantastic Four movie with the original four as younger adults in that scenario. The catch is that that movie would have to be a period piece in order to work. And, really, I think that would be the best way to introduce them into the MCU. That way, the door is open to introduce the Future Foundation in the modern day and have Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson as Reed and Ben but still have enough plausibility to have younger, more experienced actors playing the Fantastic Four.

Having trouble introducing a Doom who isn't In his late-50s? Just say that he was lost in the Negative Zone 20 years prior. Or have him already established as Latveria's dictator in the modern day.

It's a comic book adaptation. There are ways to make it work.
