THE ROAD TO DOOM — The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)
Mid-credits, four years later — Franklin is roughly four — Sue leaves him alone for a moment and returns to find a man in a green cloak holding a metal mask standing over him. Victor von Doom has arrived. This is Doom's first on-screen MCU appearance, silent, and it is the single most load-bearing setup for December.
