According to the theory, Iron Man’s snap inadvertently opened a rift to the Negative Zone, a parallel dimension fraught with anti-matter.
This rift, the theory suggests, may have been closed since the 1960s when the Fantastic Four first encountered the Negative Zone.
The Fantastic Four, led by Reed Richards, may have been trapped in the Negative Zone while combating the villain Annihilus.
Galactus, another formidable antagonist rumored for the film, could be drawn to Earth after sensing the energy from the closed rift.
This scenario not only ties the Fantastic Four to Avengers: Endgame but also sets the stage for their encounter with Galactus.
While previous adaptations featured Doctor Doom as the primary villain, rumors indicate a shift to Galactus in the MCU iteration. Javier Bardem‘s rumored involvement adds to the anticipation surrounding the film’s villain.
Additional theories speculate on alternative explanations for the team’s absence from the MCU.
The Quantum Realm, known for its time-altering properties, could have ensnared the Fantastic Four, linking them to Kang the Conqueror.
With the official cast announcement, which includes Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, excitement for the film continues to mount.
Rumors abound regarding additional characters like Heralds Terrax and the Silver Surfer, though no official confirmation has been made.
