The trailer also teases the arrival of Galactus (Ralph Ineson) while playing coy about any potential involvement from Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.), who will be the feature villain in next year’sAvengers: Doomsday.During this month’s issue of Empire Magazine, directorMatt Shakmanstated that Doom won’t be inThe Fantastic Four: First Steps, but this wouldn’t be the first time a Marvel creative or actor has applied a bit of misdirection to throw off the fans.
