The Fantastic Four finally arrive in the MCU in Wakanda-centric Avengers: Doomsday teaser

Bringing the FF and the Wakandans together makes total sense, given how intertwined their comic book histories are. Black Panther (T’Challa) first appeared in 1966’s Fantastic Four #52, seeding the story that would eventually grow to encompass the entire nation of Wakanda.

Meanwhile, Namor is also inextricably tied to the Fantastic Four. Though he initially debuted in 1939’s Marvel Comics #1, making him one of the very first Marvel characters ever, he was revived in the modern Marvel Universe in 1962’s Fantastic Four #4, kicking off his longstanding place as a character who straddles the line between hero and villain. And of course, there’s Namor’s ongoing obsession with Sue Storm, who he wants to steal away from Reed Richards (unlikely).

And of course, Doctor Doom, the big villain of Avengers: Doomsday, is the arch-enemy of the Fantastic Four, with his own first MCU appearance consisting of a brief cameo in the post-credits stinger scene from The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
