Since Avengers: Endgame, Marvel has been declining, but now they're trying to bounce back with the new "Fantastic Four" movie. Will they succeed?
It is a comic book superhero movie created by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby, utilising scientific backgrounds to protect the world from various concerns.
The Fantastic Four was owned by Fox, but Disney's acquisition brought them into the MCU, marking its first showdown.
Fantastic Four was released in 2005 and 2007, and a 2015 reboot, but received mixed reviews and commercial success.
Matt Shakman is directing "Fantastic Four," with a screenplay by Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, & Ian Springer.The shoot is set to begin in the summer 2024.
Pascal Pedro as Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Venessa Kirby as Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (the Thing).
The role of Victor von Doom, a significant Marvel villain, has not yet been filled.
Marvel Studios may be aiming to establish the Fantastic Four as a new cornerstone of the MCU, addressing criticisms of the franchise's direction post"Avengers: Endgame."
The Fantastic Four movie is scheduled for release on May 2, 2025, as part of Phase Six of the MCU.
