Natasha Lyonne on The Bad Guys 2 and The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ connection

As the articulate movie critic, I find myself captivated by Natasha Lyonne’s portrayal of Doom in The Bad Guys 2. Intriguingly, her character is one of the new additions to the formidable crew known as the Bad Girls. When Chris Killian from ComicBook posed a question about whether she had considered the name Doom in relation to the Fantastic Four: First Steps before joining the project, Lyonne admitted, “It hadn’t crossed my mind until this very moment.” She went on to share her thoughts, stating, “Life seems to be a string of coincidences that come my way, and I simply do my best in navigating them.”

In The Bad Guys 2, the cunning raven known as Doom will team up with Kitty Kat (voiced by Danielle Brooks) and Pigtail (voiced by Maria Bakalova), acting as the latest adversaries. The Bad Girls manipulate the reformed villains, the Bad Guys, into a world-traveling crime spree. The movie is set to premiere in theaters on August 1, 2025.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, actress Natasha Lyonne portrays Rachel Rozman, a unique character who works as a teacher and becomes friends with Ben Grimm (The Thing). Contrary to some rumors, she is not Alicia Masters. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Lyonne expressed her excitement about being part of the movie, stating, “It’s incredible that they want me in this film. Everything feels cosmic and multidimensional, approaching it from various angles.

She mentioned, “I was also featured in the Smurfs film, and there are certain events that took place which I can’t discuss as it might lead to trouble. However, if by 8:45 p.m. tonight I am deceased, and they decide to merge the movies into a compilation, these events will likely fit seamlessly together, in my opinion.

Lyonne’s remarks have sparked conjecture about whether she might lend her voice to an animated character like H.E.R.B.I.E., but Marvel hasn’t yet clarified the specific nature of her part in the project.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters on July 25, 2025.
