Lol..doom maybe but the FF is not essential like spider man and the X men. This whole Avengers movie shyt started because they couldn't use the x men wholesale.
Yes but the FF fits in more with dimensional and cosmic stores and because we don't have a strong preconceived notion of the characters (because Fox failed) the FF would be easier to rewrite or re-imagine without alienating, confusing or upsetting fans. The fox FF films failed to establish who the FF were so marvel has a freer hand to significantly change them, this soon after the end of Fox.
Also FF is Marvels First Family and although the FF don't have amazing powers themselves, the FF's villains roster is more tied in with that of the Avengers/Marvel core and the MCU. Kree, Sword, Shield, Agatha Harkness, Mephsito, Kang, Time Travel, "Quantum Realm", Skrulls, Thanos, Infinity Gems, Namor, Watcher, Celestials, Eternity, Ronan the Accuser, Adam Warlock, Nova etc (all things which have been mooted or already done in the MCU) are more closely tied into FF lore than the X-men.
FF history and characters dovetail better with what we have seen in the MCU so far and what they have suggested for the future going forwards.
For all the X-men's great villains / groups / concepts (Nimrod, Hellfire, Magneto, Apocalypse, Mutants, Shi'ar) the real traditional marvel giants personas / groups / concepts like Galactus, Heralds (Surfer, Tyros, Air Walker, etc), Watchers, Dr. Doom, Mephisto, Eternity / Living Tribunal / Chaos Order and other fundamental entities, Celestials, Inhumans, Eternals, Adam Warlock, Kang, Nova Corps are FF.
Look at the overlap with the MCU here. Mephisto, Kang, Agatha Harkness, Time Travel, Quantum Zone, Celestials, Eternals, Namor, Skrulls are already pencilled in for MCU Phase 4 and 5 and they are FF.
FF is just a more natural fit than X-men given where we are in the MCU at present and will be in the near future.
In Marvel Comics out of X-men/Avengers/FF/GotG Reed Richards is the #1 dimensional travel, cosmic, higher level physics guy. He is better than Stark, Hulk, Beast and Ant-Man (Pym) in this regard.
