I swear these 'hot takes' get colder and colder every day. What is it now? Galactus was a great villain that could have been used more? TONS of people said that - this isn't a hot take in the *slightest*.
Limp-Ad-29392025-11-24 23:08
Hot take: the absence of heat is cold
Deltas1112132025-11-24 22:13
I can see him coming back in a Fantastic Four movie. Maybe the second one is a different villain and the post credit is Galactus finding earth and on his way back for the third movie
matty_nice2025-11-24 22:15
IDK. We've had 4 Fantastic Four films, and he's been the story for two of the films. The FF are a team that supposedly has this great rogue's gallery, yet you're going back to Galactus again?
Plus, it's not like FFFS was some huge hit.
Maybe he could be in another franchise, but it's hard to know where he would make sense. There's currently no GotG franchise, unlikely to be Captain Marvel.
NateDawg80s2025-11-24 22:33
It made a half billion. That's not Avatar money, but studios aren't banking on every blockbuster to be so - if they were, they'd all have gone under years ago. It was appropriately successful and neither over- nor underperformed.
matty_nice2025-11-24 22:43
Box office is important, but more important profit. If a 200M+ budget movie doesn't break even, they have bigger problems. It's a business. We don't kno the budget, only "north of 200M", but it's likely a net 225M budget (275M budget minus 50M in tax incentivies).
For this film, Disney probably had a success line of 600M. Studios aren't just trying to break even, which is maybe what this movie probably does.
If it gets a sequel, it's gonna be more to do with Marvel wanting to do one instead of performance. It's rumored Marvel wants to see how audiences react to the Fantastic Four in Doomsday before proceeding.
But even then, does anyone have a guranteed way to make more than 525M with a sequel? I don't think Annihulus or Puppet Master is gonna do it.
NateDawg80s2025-11-25 00:12
We can guess numbers all day, but that's just speculation.
matty_nice2025-11-25 00:35
For sure. It was filmed in the UK, so we should get the numbers in the next few months.
Kamalen2025-11-24 23:39
This is blockbuster media here. There is always an expectation of some objective.
If you make a $200m movie expecting $800m but only getting $500m, this is a failure - because those $200m could have funded another project who would be more profitable instead. It’s a lost opportunity.
The key to truly declare a « hit » is to find how much Disney expected from this.

In the secret war comics Dr Doom had Galactus at his personal guard dog guarding his castle in Battleworld, so it's possible, if the movie follows the comic
Severe_Letterhead_752025-11-24 23:03
No please no, Galactus is not a villain to be anyone doggy...
Comfortable_Card_1462025-11-24 23:08
It's a good way to showcase the power Doom has over his new reality. It really doesn't last long though in the comics, only until Reed and the others arrive
GhandisFlipFlop2025-11-26 00:59
Is Battleworld on Earth ?
Comfortable_Card_1462025-11-26 01:08
Battleworld is basically a planet like earth made up of various different parts of the multiverse. Doom creates it and rules over it as a king, treating each district like smaller vassal states that all bow to him (most anyway). He even has hundreds of Thor variants as his Police force.
Here's a link to the image of Battleworld I've seen
You don’t do secret wars without Galactus. So yeah. In fact I’d argue that they did first steps in order to introduce him for secret wars.

“Infinity War” the movie wasn’t remotely an adaption of “Infinity War” the comic or even “Infinity Gauntlet”. It was a loose adaptation of *Thanos Quest* but where he doesn’t forget at the end that his goal was to kill half the population of the universe (as he does for a while after gaining the 6 gems in the comics). Adam Warlock was not even involved and leaving him out of the movie take was the right move.

deanofcool2025-11-25 16:58
Then that’s an impossible question to answer. Your either familiar with it because you have read it or not, if you haven’t read it, that’s fine, but I wouldn’t want to tell you why, as that may lead to possible spoilers. My recommendation is wait and see what they do in film, it might be completely different from the comics anyway.
avahz2025-11-25 17:00
That’s understandable!
alexmaiden20002025-11-24 22:39

So nice of them to not just kill an interesting villain. I suppose that almost feels like a guarantee that he will be back, but it would be nice if they put some others in that warchest. I suppose Secret Wars has a chance to bring some of them back.
sprague_drawer2025-11-25 13:04
I’m wondering if they’ll being Thanos back for Secret Wars
jackson501112025-11-24 22:57
Hopefully. I hope they continue him as a problem that keeps coming back similar to how the movie protrayed him as something they had to keep adjusting plans to come up with a solution to solve their issue.
Maybe he could be something for future villains to use/align with.
Grayx_28872025-11-24 23:01

Not in origin, but I believe he’s in a similar power level. In the comics at least.
Worthyness2025-11-25 17:47
Galactus is basically the anti-celestial. He's the natural, predatory force that keeps the celestials in check, hence why he specifically consumes planets with life on it as those are requirements also for new celestial to be born.
gothmog1492025-11-26 10:20

No_Imagination_24902025-11-24 23:44
I can see him appearing again, given how important the character is to the Marvel universe, although not as the main antagonist of a movie, as that would just be a re-hash of First Steps.

Plenty-Salary97112025-11-25 00:36
Yes, they didn’t “defeat him” they just transported him away. If secret wars is 3+ hours they can fit him in .
3seven12025-11-25 06:04
Their big names lan was to transport him far away and then he’s be stuck without his ship. Wouldn’t he have a valet feature for this ship where he could press a button and his ship would come to him?
texorcist2025-11-25 00:46
I would love a Last Days of Midgard cartoon with the original actors voicing. Such a great King Thor story. They can skip the Roxxon modern day story!

if not in secret wars marvel can pull a lego marvel superheroes for the reboot and have galactus be the next big bad in like 10+ years

Hopefully Shalla Bal gets her own movie. It would make sense for them to bring him back for that.

Frosty_Appointment372025-11-25 07:29
in Secret Wars 2015, Franklin von Doom, son of God Emperor Doom (Dr Doom 616) & Susan Storm (Earth-15513) kills Ben Grimm 616 by creating & using his own version of Galactus ( that was not as powerful as original).
The story of Susan Storm Earth-15513 was seemingly close to her [Earth-616 counterpart](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Susan_Storm_(Earth-616)) until the day when she and her father [Dr. Franklin Storm](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Franklin_Storm_(Earth-15513)), her brother [Johnny Storm](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Jonathan_Storm_(Earth-616)), and her friend [Ben Grimm](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Benjamin_Grimm_(Earth-616)), went into space and crash-landed. This experience led to them becoming the [Fantastic Four](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Fantastic_Four_(Earth-15513)) dedicated to protecting [Earth](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Earth).[^(\[2\])](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Susan_Storm_(Earth-15513)#cite_note-Secret_Wars_Vol_1_6-2)
One day, their world seemingly experienced an incursion and the Fantastic Four were able to escape. They eventually landed in [Battleworld](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Battleworld_(Latverion)) in its early stages, where it was a frightening place full of darkness and constant war. During this time, Dr. Franklin Storm was killed by [Apocalypse](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/En_Sabah_Nur_(Earth-51518)) and the Fantastic Four were about to be killed, when [Victor von Doom](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Victor_von_Doom_(Earth-616)) rescued them and helped Susan bury her father, which led to Victor and Susan falling in love, Johnny becoming the [Sun](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Sun_(Star)), and Ben Grimm to become [The Shield](https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Shield_(Battleworld)).

I understood that rights issues made it impossible at the time, but it always felt like he should have been the MCU’s first cosmic-level antagonist. Thanos just felt like who you settle for when you can’t use Galactus.

Galactus will certainly be featured in Doomsday
In the Infinity War comics the cosmic beings are basically the whole last 2 books. They totally left them out of the movie interpretation, and now "love" has been introduced in Thor 4, and Arishem - IMO - is clearly bringing the Eternals to be judged by the Living Tribunal at the end of Eternals. Eternity has also now been shown.
So I assume the cosmic beings all getting nutty w/ Dr. Strange and Sliver Surfer flying around like "omg the whole universe may be destroyed" will be happening in Doomsday . . .
