Is Doctor Doom coming to MCU?
Since Marvel announced that aFantastic Fourfilm was in the works, it has seemed only a matter of time before the team’s nemesis, Doctor Doom, made his MCU debut. Namor’s rumored appearance inWakanda Foreversuggests that the Black Panther sequel may deeper develop into the MCU’s global politics, making it appear to be a suitable film for Doom, the ruler of Latveria, to appear.
Aside from that, the MCU requires more powerful villains than Thanos capable of uniting the franchise’s heroes. The general opinion among fans right now is that Kang the Conqueror will fill that role.
However, much remains unknown about Marvel’s Kang plans, and it’s completely possible that the iconic comic book villain will end up being less important to the MCU’s future than fans have long assumed.
Dr Doom… and Mephisto? (Or is it Amora? Wasn’t she married to Namor at some point?)

Fortunately, Doctor Doom is the type of villain capable of taking over the MCU if Kang’s arc ultimately takes a different path than fans expect. Even if he doesn’t end up being the MCU’s next Thanos, Doom has the potential to be a major antagonistic figure, especially with teams like theFantastic Fourand theX-Menexpected to arrive at various points over the next few years.’
Taking this into consideration, as well as recent comments from several Marvel leakers, it appears that Doctor Doom will make an appearance in Wakanda Forever.
