After the critical and commercial failure of the 2015 film Fantastic Four, Mob Productions began exploring various approaches to revitalize the franchise rather than simply creating another Fantastic Four film.

Although Zimmerman was initially focused on writing the script, she expressed interest in potentially directing the film as well. Different versions of Doom had previously appeared in Mob Productions' Fantastic Four films, portrayed by Julian McMahon and Toby Kebbell.
