Fantastic Four is one of the first superhero teams by Marvel, created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in 1961. And now the team is being re-introduced in Marvel’s Kang Dynasty Saga or Multiverse Saga.
As we all know Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 5 will start with Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is releasing on February 17, 2023. From the movie, fans will know more about the concepts of multiverse and time travel with the movie which will introduce different variants of Kang.
The character arc of Kang will develop and will end with Avengers: Secret Wars. But how and why is the Fantastic Four important in Phases 5 and 6?
The Fantastic Four team will not appear in Marvel’s Phase 5 and 6. But as we all know Marvel is famous for introducing its major superheroes as cameos in any team-up movie and then in their solo movies like Tom Holland’s Superman and Black Panther aka King T’Challa were introduced in Captain America: Civil War then they got their separate superhero movies.
So fans are excited to see team members of the Fantastic Four in any upcoming major Marvel Projects.
Fantastic Four Team can be seen in these Marvel Projects
As of now, it’s not clear when or how Team Fantastic Four will be seen, But according to me, we can get a hint of Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic in Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania. As Kang is basically a 31st-century descendant of Reed Richards, and his name was Nathaniel Richards in the 31st century. So it’s possible that we can get a hint of Reed’s existence in the upcoming movie of Marvel.
As per Insider, We already have got an idea that a few more variants of Kang will be seen in Loki Season 2. And we already know Kang the Conqueror will be the main villain of Loki Season 2.
So it’s possible that we can get much more details about the Fantastic Four team as He who remains had confirmed in Loki Season 1 that he was one of the versions of 31st Century’s Nathaniel Richards.
there are a few other projects like Thunderbolts and The Marvels which can introduce the team to MCU.
Why Fantastic Four is necessary for Phase 6?
As of now, MCU does not have any important and intelligent superhero who can build a team to fight against Kang in Multiverse Saga. And we have much more superheroes than in Phase 3 in MCU now. Reed Richards can play a pivotal role in creating a big team to fight against Kang in Avengers: Kang Dynasty.
In Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness, we have seen Reed Richards as the most intelligent scientist on earth, So I think MCU needs Reed Richards and his team to fight against all the circumstances responsible for Incursions.
And if you don’t know incursion was the major cause of Avengers: Secret Wars where superheroes from different realities and universes will fight with each other to save their own universes. But finally, incursion will be inevitable and only one earth will survive where every type of superhero will exist from Inhumans, and Mutants to our traditional superheroes.
So for Secret War to happen we need Fantastic Four as they will lead our new avengers to stop the incursion.
