Noah Hawley’s Doctor Doom movie still on track

[Prompto]

Other Marvel projects are still in development at Fox. In fact, Legion creator Noah Hawley is writing a script for Doctor Doom, a solo film about the Fantastic Four villain.

Hawley told Rotten Tomatoes that the film is still on track, so that's another Marvel film that could happen before or after the Disney merger.

"I haven't had a phone call, and I'm just operating under the assumption that it's business as usual," Hawley said. "Obviously, the merger, should it go through, will take a year at least. Certainly no one's reached out to me from Marvel or Fox to say, 'Well, you know, maybe we should take a beat or maybe we should rush.' I'm working on the script, and we'll see what the landscape is when I deliver it."

Doctor Doom will be Hawley's priority after season 2 of Legion, so there's a chance it could be ready to go into production before the merger.

"It's coming," Hawley promised. "I'm almost done with the last Legion script, and then it's my first responsibility."

This won't manifest the way it was, but he might still be involved if they shift it to a FF movie.

Books of Doom movie?

Anything Marvel related that isn't casting or shooting before the merger goes through is probably going to the chopping block. But why would Fox do that now? If the merger is shut down, they still need films in development.

It's bound to be great, Disney should just let him do it.

He is a Great (with capitol G) writer. Let him do a movie about the greatest Marvel villain ever.

Yeah, this isn't happening.

I don't know... unless Feige knows for sure how he's going to fold the FF in, it'd be stupid to not entertain a Hawley Doom script.

I've only seen Fargo Season 1 but I was worried this wouldn't happen

Really hoping this goes forward. This is the comic book movie I am the most interested in easily.

I would assume this isn't happening but I think with adjustments this could be a perfect introduction movie for FF in to the MCU. Could knock the whole "Marvel has bad villains" issue out. I'm curious what they have in mind for this, because I could see a scenario where there really doesn't need to be anymore acknowledgement of the wider MCU than the Marvel TV shows do.

Yeah, this isn't happening.

Seems like there's a good chance if they have everything ready before the merger is complete.

He's s great choice to helm this-but they should wait to incorporate it into the MCU.
