Matt Shakman addresses Doctor Doom's appearance in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, amid rumors around the film's post-credits scene.

Matt Shakman took inspiration from a specific time period when preparing for the production of the upcoming MCU movie.

Ever since Robert Downey Jr. blew our multiversal minds at San Diego Comic-Con last year when he revealed he was returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom, Marvel fanatics have been trying to figure out just when Victor Von Doom would appear.

Kevin Feige commented on Thunderbolt's post credit scene and now we think Doctor Doom might be in Fantastic Four: First Steps.

A new trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps highlights the Fantastic Four's superpowers in all their glory, but the real focus here is on this iconic quartet as a family unit. The trailer showcases familial teasing between characters like Reed and Johnny, as well as a new look at Reed and Sue's baby Franklin.

The film also stars Ralph Ineson as the towering Galactus and Julia Garner as a fresh, possibly terrifying take on the Silver Surfer. With additional cast members like John Malkovich, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles, expect surprises in every corner of the cosmos.

Pulling a lot of the weight was “Jennifer”: a rock. “We went out to the desert and found a rock that looked exactly how we thought the Thing should look,” Shakman told Empire Magazine, “and we filmed it in every single shot that the Thing appears in in the movie, under every lighting environment.”

First Steps director Matt Shakman recently claimed that Doctor Doom doesn't appear in his movie. Now, a rumour reveals whether the filmmaker was telling the truth or misdirecting fans.

Before there was Tom Cruise’s Jerry Maguire (the character), there was the marriage between Reed Richards and Sue Storm. Matt Shakman, who is the director of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, paid careful attention to their relationship while directing the movie.
