In a Director’s Commentary segment on the recently released film (via The Direct), director Sam Raimi and co-producer Richie Palmer spoke about the movie. In a scene that shows Reed Richards (played by John Krasinski) joining his fellow Illuminati members via a teleportation device that is actually a reference to Doctor Doom.
“It’s exciting that costume designed by Ryan Meinerding, is a really special treat,” said Palmer. “The detail of the teleportation device he uses to get into the scene is something we took from the comics, that’s Doctor Doom’s Time Platform.”
