Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige Recently Met With Noah Hawley; Is There Still Hope For His DOCTOR DOOM Film?

@PlusUltra - Well hold on there, buckaroo. Lets not be too quick to jump on the "no anti-hero" train.

The PERFECT intro movie to Doctor Doom in the MCU is an adaptation of the mini-series Books of Doom.

In that, we see Doom as a child born in Latveria and oppressed by the king of the country at the time. His mother ends up being killed for being a "witch" and his father gets hunted down because he was a doctor and was not able to cure the King's wife's incurable disease.

So Doom's family was handed a raw deal.

Long story short, Doom went to America, went to college, met Reed Richards briefly, but used the college's resources to build his first Doombots and technological weapons. The US government eventually brought him in to build more weapons for them, but he ended fleeing the country after he caused a huge explosion that disfigured his face.

He then left America and went back to Latveria with an army of Doom bots and liberated the country and became their new king.

Now, we know he turned into a pretty cruel ruler, but that initial origin story is DEFINITELY an anti-hero story.

Also, just a side note, I find it pretty great that at one point in comics Reed Richards looked through a ton of different alternate realities and the only one that had an earth that was 100% peaceful was one ruled by Dr Doom...

@Catmanlives - Books of Doom is one of my favorites :)

And it just so happens to fit the MCU perfectly as his origin.

@PlusUltra - Well, what if he's using the term "anti-hero" loosely? Also, if you have duel leads, like they did in "Silence of the Lambs" you can get away with making at least one of them pretty evil.

@CorndogBurglar - I was excited when his description of the script was basically Book of Doom so if it happens that will be at least the template for the movie.

@CorndogBurglar - My dream Doctor Doom film would be a mockumentary based on books of doom.

@RocknRolla - come on now. No one is saying death camps are part of being an anti-hero.

Doom liberating his country from oppression = anti-hero.

Doom turning to world domination and slaughtering innocents = no longer an anti-hero.

@CorndogBurglar - Good call. I was on PlusUltra's side, but now I get it. Nice.

@Frshcoupe - Haha. Thanks man. I guess that's what 33 years of reading comics and researching the hell out of Marvel can do?

@AbidNaga - Its funny you say that because if you remember, the narrator of Books of Doom is a Doombot telling the story to a reporter who wants to make a documentary. Lol

@SummersEssex - Hey I'm totally on PlusUltra's side if we're talking about a modern day Doom in the MCU. He should not be an anti-hero fighting against the F4 or Avengers.

But an origin story is a perfect fit for that.

@IronDean2099 - Exactly! Its sooooo good.

@IronDean2099 - Yeah that would be pretty awesome. It would be a set up for Doom in the MCU as well as F4. I like it!

@DillonEnnis - They should base Doom on real world events. Use North Korea as an example. Make Doom a Kim Jong Un type where he has been going back and forth with the US over his Nuclear Technology and is disobeying a Peace Treaty between Sokovia and the USA by illegally exporting nuclear weapons to the 10 Rings in Afghanistan.

But this is all just a smoke and mirrors to distract the US and Sokovia Accords because of Doom's interdimensional tech. He wants to travel to different Earths at his own free will.

@DillonEnnis - I can see them buying the script and incorporating elements into a FF movie. I would love it if Marvel would spotlight some villains. I mean still do FF and Xmen but give Thanos type roles to Doom, Magneto, Sabretooth, Juggernaught.

@KingCipher - the Dr Doom I know craves power and knowledge.. and acts strictly out of his own self interest.

@KingCipher - You mean his very own personal North Korea?
