It’s during this future adventure that Doom becomes aware of the upcomingVenom War.It’s strongly implied thatDoom is manipulating the events ofVenom Warto punish Eddie for the disrespect he gave Doom duringVenom#25. If Doom is allowed to have his way, it likely won’t end well for Eddie, which is why the Fantastic Four are just the heroes he needs, even if he doesn’t know it.
Another major force that’s getting involved is Kang the Conqueror, who had a surprising connection to Eddie Brock. After Eddie Brock gained his King in Black powers and was capable of traveling through time, he wasn’t really able to control it.
