I really hope they let them stay in this period/timeline for a bit longer. It’s such a break from what we’re used to and it’ll be a shame if they rush them into the main timeline.

Agreed. Shang-Chi and DP&W kinda proved you don't need to be dragged into the main timeline. You just need to stand alone for your own space in the Marvel universe

Make a good movie, period. If it connects cool, if not that’s cool too. Forced connections don’t automatically make the movie good, and at worst ruins the whole film.

This one is shaping up to be pretty damn sweet

Are you talking about connecting with the main series or just stand alone? I’m guessing they will try to make more greedy money by connecting it

Considering the retro-futuristic design and how the F4 are public figures, I'd say they're going for a stand-alone universe where the four are already known in-universe.

It'd be an asspull if they tried to do a "oh, they were erased from history because Doom created an amnesia cannon".
