The Fantastic Four franchise has consistently been a hit-and-miss affair for Marvel Studios. Now that Disney has confirmed its plans to integrate the world's first superhero family into the billion-dollar juggernaut known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the main villain in the upcoming reboot is rumored to be one of Marvel's biggest baddies.
If we're to believe the latest scoop from the reliable entertainment news leaker, @MyTimeToShineH, the Fantastic Four will be going up against the Devourer of Worlds, Galactus, come 2025, and an actor has already been cast for the role.
While many comic-book fans would have expected the cosmic entity to make his appearance in the MCU as the final boss of Phase 6, it makes sense that he would be the main villain in the reboot. In the 2007 film, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, we learn that the Silver Surfer was working for Galactus all along. Given that the Silver Surfer is reportedly going to make his debut before the reboot is released in theaters, his appearance would set the stage for the advent of Galactus.
