The Marvel Cinematic Universe's (MCU) Doctor Doom portrayal by Robert Downey Jr. has rocked the fan base. Deniz Camp, author of "The Ultimates," has indicated that the comic series will offer solutions even while viewers will have to wait for the movie explanation.
Camp hinted in a tweet that the forthcoming September edition of "The Ultimates" will assist readers in "understanding" Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom portrayal. The soliciting for the issue promises a Doom-centric plot, which might provide hints on how RDJ will approach the venerable villain. Written by Deniz Camp with art by Phil Noto, "The Ultimates #4" is set for publication on September 4, 2024.
Marvel debuted a fresh Ultimate Universe in 2023 under "Ultimate Invasion." The Maker, a villainous form of Reed Richards from Earth-1610, shapes this universe by manipulating time to eradicate superheroes and build a world in his vision. Set inside this other reality, "The Ultimates" series boasts a new team comprising Tony Stark/Iron Lad, Reed Richards in Doom's armor, Thor, Sif, Giant-Man, and the Wasp, battling the Maker and his shadow council.
Inspired by the first Ultimate universe, which greatly shaped superhero films in the twenty-first century, the new "The Ultimates" series Created by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch, the first series offered classic Marvel heroes in a modern, fresh environment free from complicated continuity. Clearly, "The Ultimates" shapes the MCU, especially with Samuel L. Jackson cast as Nick Fury. The 2015 event "Secret Wars" brought to close the original Ultimate universe.
The new "The Ultimates" series's inclusion of well-known characters like Reed Richards, Tony Stark, and the Doom iconography links intriguingly to the MCU. Given Robert Downey Jr.'s performance as Doctor Doom and the series's concentration on Doom, the news points to "The Ultimates" offering vital background for forthcoming MCU events. Like the MCU, the series emphasizes on a modern, simplified approach to Marvel's heroes, which qualifies it as a prime candidate for exposing future direction of the cinematic universe.
