While Galactus and the Celestials are different in parentage and intention ( the Celestials being ancient cosmic entity responsible for for the Big Bang and Galactus being a formerly mortal being who devour planets to sustain his own liveliness force ) , there ’s little dubiousness that they ’d be sluttish to confuse and link up with one another on the big blind . GivenEternalsremains one of the more poorly reviewed MCU movies , The Fantastic Fourmay want to avoid tie-up . Moreover , Galactus was antecedently done ill inFantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer(2007 ) .
How The Fantastic Four Can Avoid Eternals Comparisons
Given Galactus ' visual similarity to the Celestials inEternals , there are plenty of gradation Marvel’sThe Fantastic Fourcan take to secernate the antagonist if he is indeed in the film . The first option is thatThe Fantastic Fourcould avoid frame in Galactus as a villain and treat him more like a true military group of nature . Eternalsgets tight but ultimately frames what Arishem is trying to do ( killing all life on Earth for the birth of Tiamut ) as inherently wrong . The Fantastic Four could treat Galactus ' activeness as more understandable from his perspective , if not still terrifying .
Doctor Doom is one of the best Marvel scoundrel ; however , Galactus would be a honest choice for Marvel Studios ' Fantastic Four picture for a few reasons .
The other interesting way Galactus can stand out is by pull ahead . Tiamut ’s birth is ultimately stop in Eternals , but Galactus succeeding in destroy the house planet of the Fantastic Four could be what force them to enshroud in the Quantum Realm or Negative Zone or jump realism - providing a backstory for how they ’re only now joining the MCU in the modern day . There ’s a rationality a comics - accurate Galactus has never appeared on projection screen , and his possible inclusion is a bold move forThe Fantastic Fourwith cock-a-hoop potential risks and upsides .
