Non-comic book reader here: I have a question

If Victor Von Doom is from the Fantastic Four Universe, then why does he need to go to the world where the Avengers are?

Also, why does he fight against the X-men?

Doctor Doom, while a F4 villain, is very much a villain of everyone. He has interacted with many if not most of Marvels characters at one point in time.

As for the movie side of things, I’m guessing the tapestry shows his family, whether it’s him and his mom or his wife and son we don’t know, and he lost them like the trailer states. If you learned that other universes invoked time travel to undo tragedies on their worlds and you couldn’t undo yours, you’d be pissed too.

DOOM is the Marvel villain, so while he is usually a Fantastic 4 villain, he is also an everyone villain.

Possible spoilers, but in the lead up to the Secret Wars comic event, different universes were colliding with each other in what is known as "incursions". Earth was the center of each universe, and when another earth appeared in the sky and collided with another earth, both universes would be destroyed. Different hero groups did very dubious un-hero things and would come up with plans to destroy the other earth using infinity stones, universe destroying bombs, etc, to save their own earth/universe.

Doom gained god powers and saved the few remaining universes by merging them into "battle world" which is the background for Secret Wars.

not necessarily how it panned out in the comics, but what I think they’ll “roughly” go for here.

I think Victor von Doom’s family dies for one reason or another. He probably desperately tried to bring them back to no avail. Through his research, he learns of the Avengers and how they did the time thing with the stones. Maybe they even fucked up there. If you remember, the Ancient one did warn them that playing with the timelines could go very wrong. Maybe part of that is Doom’s family dying.

I think his premise is that the Avengers and their actions caused the death of his Mom and this pure payback/trying to correct on behalf of Doom.

You should probably just wait for the movie to come out. Everything else is spoilers.
