Plot

Four years have passed since the Fantastic Four was formed from the clandestine Baxter Foundation mission, their cosmic journey continues as they discreetly ventured into the stars and further explore the unknown corners and crevices of the universe, encountering various specks of life in worlds way beyond ours. Seeing the limitless beauty that the universe could ever offer, longtime couple Reed Richards and Sue Storm have decided to settle their commitment in marriage. Unfortunately, their wedding would end up having to be postponed when they learned that Empress Lucia von Bardas of Latveria was determined to bring the nation's rightful ruler, the unhinged Victor von Doom himself, back on Earth at any expense ever since he was forcibly exiled by the four on the wastelands of the Negative Zone. Still feeling guilty that their old friend turned enemy may still be alive on the other side, the four became considerate of bringing him back alive, especially when the Intelligencia strikes back with a goal to invade Latveria in Doom's absence and use its resources for their diabolical agenda.

• The film features the first cinematic appearance of the Annihilation Wave, being one of the greatest dangers that exist in the Negative Zone, which even Doctor Doom had feared due to their feral mentality and ravenousness without the control of their commander, Annihilus.

• The film serves as the first appearance of the Unstable Molecules, which became the primary synthetic material of the Fantastic Four's iconic uniforms.
