The article from Nerdist theorizes that the Council of Reeds, a multiversal organization from the Marvel comics, is a perfect fit for the MCU's current Multiverse Saga and could be a key element connecting the upcoming Fantastic Four movie to Avengers: Doomsday.

Here are the main points of the theory:

• What is the Council of Reeds? In the comics, it's an interdimensional group of Reed Richards variants who have banded together to "solve everything." However, they are arrogant and have abandoned their families and emotional attachments to pursue this goal, making them morally ambiguous and often antagonistic.
• How It Fits the MCU: With the multiverse in chaos and the threat of Kang's variants, the Council of Reeds could emerge as a powerful force trying to control the situation and stop the "Incursions" (universes colliding). They would act as a multiversal counterpart or rival to organizations like the TVA or the Council of Kangs.
• Character Conflict for Reed Richards: The theory suggests that the MCU's main Reed Richards (played by Pedro Pascal) will be invited to join the Council but will ultimately reject their cold, ruthless methods. This would establish his core character trait: valuing his family and humanity above all else, setting him apart from his more cynical variants.
• Role in  The Council could be the initial multiversal threat the Avengers face, with their extreme methods putting them in conflict with Earth's heroes. This could ultimately lead to their downfall at the hands of a greater villain like Doctor Doom, who, in the comics, sees the Council as his only true intellectual rivals and destroys them.

In short, introducing the Council of Reeds would serve to deeply integrate the Fantastic Four into the central conflict of the Multiverse Saga, provide a major character test for the MCU's Reed Richards, and set the stage for an even larger threat in Doctor Doom.
