Cuanto más pienso en cómo Fantástica Four introdujo Franklin, más estoy convencido de que sé cómo se usará en las guerras del día del juicio final y secreto

Advertencia: spoilers para Los cuatro fantásticos: primeros pasos están por delante!

Un método clave que establece “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” aparte de las adaptaciones pasadas es la introducción de Franklin Richards. A diferencia de las películas anteriores en las que este personaje no existía, en esta versión, Reed Richards y Sue Storm’s hijo nació en medio de la liberación en 2025. ¡Posee las mismas habilidades que alteran la realidad que se representan en los cómics, lo cual es que es lo que es de curiosidad, Galactus visitó Earth-828 en la historia!

Para empezar, la aventura de Franklin en el MCU solo está comenzando, como lo insinúa la escena de los créditos mediados de Fantastic Four: First Steps , lo que sugiere que el doctor Doom se ha dado cuenta del niño. Esta intriga se desarrollará aún más en el Avengers: Doomsday del próximo año, y también en Avengers: Secret Wars . Juntos, estas películas marcan el final de la saga multiverso. Mientras reflexiono sobre la aparición de Franklin en primeros pasos , estoy cada vez más convencido de que simplemente no acompañará a sus padres y tíos en las próximas películas Avengers . En cambio, parece probable que juegue un papel importante en estas próximas películas de Marvel.

¿Qué le sucede a Franklin en la escena de los primeros pasos?

El capítulo final de “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” proporciona un rápido puesto con el equipo un año después de la partida de Galactus y Silver Surfer de la Tierra. Sin embargo, la escena de los créditos medios salta cuatro años por delante, haciendo de Franklin aproximadamente cinco años. Después de terminar de leer un libro a su hijo, Sue se muda a otra parte de la habitación para recoger a otro de sus favoritos (no el “origen de la especie” de Charles Darwin). Al retroceder, Franklin se encuentra parado frente a un hombre extraño cubierto de verde, sosteniendo una máscara metálica.

Indeed, the character in question is none other than Doctor Doom, the longtime adversary of the Fantastic Four in comic books. Although he didn’t play a role in the storyline of “First Steps”, Doctor Doom portrayed by Robert Downey Jr., has replaced Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror as the main antagonist in both “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars”. Interestingly, this scene featuring Doctor Doom was filmed by directors Joe and Anthony Russo during the production of “Doomsday”, rather than being part of the “First Steps” filming.

There’s An Interesting Fan Theory About Doctor Doom And Doom And Franklin

As a movie aficionado, the captivating scene in ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ where young Franklin Richards almost touches Doctor Doom’s unveiled face left an indelible impression on me. Interestingly, this scene sparked a thought-provoking theory among viewers, which I came across while discussing the film on various platforms, including Reddit. The theory suggests that Franklin may be responsible for the transformation of Doctor Doom into a character resembling Tony Stark in future installments.

The concept revolves around character named Franklin manipulating another character called Franklin, causing him to alter his appearance. This way, he can deceive the Avengers and other Earth-616 heroes. Although it’s intriguing, I ponder if it’s not primarily about modifying Doom’s face, but rather healing his scars if the portrayal of this character in the story is a Tony Stark variant. Nevertheless, I believe Franklin plays a crucial role in the narrative unfolding within “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars”.

I Think Franklin Will Substitute For Another Character From 2015’s Secret Wars

In my perspective as a fan, there have been two Marvel Comic tales titled “Secret Wars,” each with settings called Battleworld. Although the upcoming film, “Avengers: Secret Wars,” will likely blend aspects from both narratives, considering we’re deep in the Multiverse Saga, it seems plausible that the movie will lean more towards the 2015 event. This storyline featured Doctor Doom acquiring divine powers and fusing numerous Earths into a single Battleworld. Although the multiverse was eventually restored, the original Earth-616 and significant parts of the Ultimate Universe were merged, most notably Miles Morales, his family, and friends.

2015’s comic book event, “Secret Wars,” showed Victor von Doom assuming the title of God Emperor Doom. This transformation occurred when he tapped into the power of Earth-616’s Molecule Man, who had absorbed the powers of his counterparts from various universes after they were destroyed in an attempt to vanquish the Beyonders. However, once the Molecule Man was liberated, he transferred his amplified power to Mr. Fantastic, thus restoring the multiverse. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that we’ll encounter the Molecule Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In my opinion, it’s more likely that Franklin Richards serves as the energy source for Doctor Doom’s plans in both “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars”. Whether this involves creating his own Battleworld or altering the multiverse in some other fashion, it seems plausible that Doom continues to exploit Franklin after his abduction, or finds a method to extract his power directly. Regardless of the approach, the outcomes depicted in “Doomsday” and “Secret Wars” are unlikely without Franklin’s presence.

What This Could Mean For The Future Of The MCU

Without a doubt, by the finale of Secret Wars, Doctor Doom will meet his match, much like Thanos did in Avengers: Endgame. It’s also likely that Franklin will be reunited safely with his parents. Yet, it’s important to note that even after the Multiverse Saga ends, things may not return to their original state.

In a different turn of events, as Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige referred to “Secret Wars” as a “reboot” or “reset” for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), hinting that characters such as Tony Stark and Steve Rogers may be recast in future productions. Additionally, there’s an upcoming X-Men reboot directed by Jake Schreier, which seems to position the mutant superheroes within the same primary MCU timeline, sharing a continuity with the various iterations of these characters from the X-Men film series produced by 20th Century Fox.

Regardless of how the Marvel Cinematic Universe shapes up post-“Secret Wars”, it seems likely that Franklin Richards will be at the heart of any changes, with someone else wielding his powers this time around. It might be Reed Richards using his abilities as seen in the comics with Molecule Man’s power, or another individual altogether. Additionally, considering Franklin’s intelligence growth, it could also be that he takes on this responsibility independently, should his intellect reach a level capable of managing such tasks.

Regardless of the outcome, he’s the one who will bring an end to one phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and start another. Unfortunately, we won’t find out whether my theory holds true or not until December 18, 2026, when Avengers: Doomsday is released. Then, on December 17, 2027, we’ll see if it was indeed Avengers: Secret Wars. In other words, we have a long wait ahead to confirm my guess.
