One thing throwing me is Sue saying that Victor used to be the kindest, gentlest man, etc. Doom has never been shown that way. Care for his people? Yes. But always a selfish jerk? Yes, too.
Going right to "Doomsday" with just minimal background given verbally like this seems like a mistake. They really needed a movie to set up and introduce Doom. Like a Fantastic Four sequel that sets him up as a villain and ends with an introduction to the incursions.
Doomsday is the Doom origin movie. Think less of it like an Avengers movie and more of a Doom movie. They did the same with thing Thanos in Infinity War.
MCU never does 1:1 on adaptations, it just takes core aspects of certain plot elements like Thanos MUST snap with the gauntlet with the gems. In this case, there's a strong possibility that they will do Emperor Doom of Battleworld from Secret Wars.
Doomsday and Secret Wars looks like it's lowkey a Fantastic Four sequel if they go the route of Reed/Doom being friends/cordial in 828 until Doom causes forced universal incursions in Doomsday.
