I can kinda see where this Reed lost his version of the F4 and his kids and it broke him to the point where he becomes evil

Ok replacing Kang as the villain of the MCU after Thanos with the Maker would actually be perfect.

And with the Maker being an integral part ofAvengers: Secret Warscomics, the character could make a place for himself in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and be a part of the upcoming movie just like the comics!

With the aggressive demand of the fans, Ioan Gruffudd could very well be a major part of the MCU in the future. In theSecret Warscomics, the Maker creates a life raft that could save him and his allies in case the multiverse perishes.
When that event happens, the life raft is found in Battleworld where Doctor Doom rules. The Maker and Reed Richards join sides to defeat Doctor Doom when the Maker shows his true side. A fight ensues and Maker’s body is ripped apart to molecular levels with each molecule in a universe. This ensures that the Maker is indeed alive and thriving within each universe. If the Marvel Cinematic Universe dared enough, they could easily follow the comics to include the Maker inAvengers: Secret Warsand make Ioan Gruffudd an iconic character in the MCU.
Although nothing has been confirmed or denied yet, fans are indeed dying to see Gruffudd take on the role of evil Reed Richards and ensure further chaos in the multiverse. The upcomingFantastic Fouris slated for a release date of 23 July 2025 in theaters across the world.
