During Marvel"s huge D23 Expo presentation in September 2022, Marvel Studios quái dị Kevin Feige confirmed that Matt Shakman, who worked on WandaVision, will direct the new movie.

Originally, Spider-Man trilogy director Jon Watts had been set khổng lồ direct Fantastic Four but dropped out in April 2022.

The confirmation of Shakman was followed later in the month by the announcement that the movie would be written by Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer. It marks the first movie for the duo, who have sold multiple spec scripts.

So as we wait to lớn find out announcements for in front of the camera, here"s everything you need to know about Fantastic Four.

Kevin Feige confirmed at Comic-Con 2022 that Fantastic Four will be released in cinemas on November 8, 2024.

Originally, we thought that would make it the first movie of Marvel"s Phase 6, but now it seems that Deadpool 3 has taken that honour as it"ll be released on September 6, 2024. It"s possible that threequel could get shifted to lớn the final outing of Phase 5.

We still don"t know when the movie will start filming and, as ever, there is always the chance that release dates could shift.

Fantastic Four cast: Who"s going khổng lồ be in Fantastic 4?

Let"s start with what you"re all thinking... Does John Krasinski"s appearance as Reed Richards (aka Mister Fantastic) in Doctor Strange 2 confirm his casting for the movie?

Well, officially, Krasinski hasn"t been cast as Reed Richards, but we"d be surprised if he wasn"t. It might have just been a case of tín đồ service, yet for the majority of characters we"ve seen in the multiverse, they"ve been played by the same actor.

For instance, every version of Doctor Strange in the sequel was played by Benedict Cumberbatch. A major caveat is that in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tobey Maguire và Andrew Garfield played their universe"s Peter Parker – & neither of them look lượt thích Tom Holland.

We"ll just have to lớn watch this space, và the same goes for the rest of the Fantastic Four main cast. It had been thought that the cast would be confirmed at the D23 Expo in September 2022, but that didn"t turn out lớn be the case.

Assuming the MCU doesn"t go wild & veer away from the traditional team, we"ll be seeing Sue Storm (aka Invisible Woman), Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch) and Ben Grimm (aka The Thing) in the movie, alongside their long-time nemesis Victor Von Doom (aka Doctor Doom).

Fans have long thought that Emily Blunt should play Sue Storm, but she had previously poured cold water on the rumours. "I don"t know if superhero movies are for me. They"re not up my alley. I don"t lượt thích them. I really don"t," she said in May 2021.

"It"s been exhausted. We are inundated – it"s not only all the movies, it"s the endless TV shows as well. It"s not khổng lồ say that I"d never want to play . It would just have to lớn be something so cool và a really cool character, và then I"d be interested."

Perhaps starring alongside Krasinski would fit as something "so cool", but we"ll have to wait và see.

Nobody else from the Fantastic Four team appeared in Doctor Strange 2, so we"d just be plucking names out of thin air right now. Hopefully, we don"t have too much longer lớn wait to find out, especially if future cameos are planned.

As we mentioned above, Matt Shakman will now direct the movie following the departure of Jon Watts, while it will be written by Jeff Kaplan và Ian Springer.

Fantastic Four plot: What will Fantastic 4 be about?

As with the cast, all options are xuất hiện for what the MCU reboot of the Fantastic Four will be about, plot-wise.

We"ve seen the origin story play out on screen a couple of times now, & it seems like the new movie will avoid that story altogether.

"A lot of people know this origin story. A lot of people know the basics. How do we take that và bring something that they"ve never seen before?" he said. "We"ve set a very high bar for ourselves with bringing that lớn the screen."

If they avoid the origin story route as planned, there will need to lớn be some narrative reason as to why we"ve only just seen them pop up, rather than help out with previous world-ending scenarios in the Avengers movies.

Of course, they can avoid that altogether if this Fantastic Four team exist in another universe. Maybe the team just never got together in Earth-616 or, even bleaker, they"re all dead in the main universe.

Watch this space.

Fantastic Four trailer: Any Fantastic 4 footage yet?

While Reed Richards has made his MCU debut, the Fantastic Four movie hasn"t started filming yet so we"ll be waiting a while for any footage. Sorry about that.
