How would I do it? Well, lemme tellya... I'd start with a Fantastic 4 film set in 1961. I'd avoid the comedy and quirkiness of Guardians of the Galaxy or Thor:Ragnarok, but keep it light and funny, in the spirit, and keeping the tone, of the original comics. Think Howard Hawks, Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder...
I'd briefly show the team's origin, probably while the opening credits roll, and then pit them against Dr. Doom and the Sub-Mariner in an exciting and unpredictable adventure. End by revealing that this is not the 1961 of the MCU.
Post-credits, something Thanos did in Infinity War would be shown to have had the effect of merging the two universes, similar to what happened recently in the comics. And just like the that, the FF, Doom, and Namor are in the MCU, and very much fish out of water, being that they are from a screwball version of 1961.
