Marvel producer Nate Moore has offered a few more cryptic clues regarding the introduction ofThe Fantastic Fourto theMCU. Speaking withDeadline, Moore teased the surprising direction that theFantastic Fourmovie will take when it lands in theaters in 2025. Yes, we still have a little while to wait. Check out what Nate Moore said below.
“Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four. We have Matt Shakman directing, who’s so talented and who did WandaVision for us, and I think people are going to be pretty surprised by what we’re doing.”
At present, cryptic clues and other such vague pieces of information are largely all we have gotten for theFantastic Fourmovie.We still have no idea who will play Marvel’s first family, who debuted in the pages of Marvel Comics way back in 1961. Comprised of Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic, a scientific genius who can stretch his body into incredible lengths and shapes; Susan “Sue” Storm aka the Invisible Woman, who can render herself invisible and project force fields and blasts; Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, who can surround himself with flames and fly; and Ben Grimm aka The Thing, whose body is turned to stone, Marvel fans have been awaiting the arrival of theFantastic Fourfor some time.
One thing we do knowis that theFantastic Fourwill not be an origin story, with Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige reasoning that “a lot of people know this origin story. A lot of people know the basics. How do we take that and bring something that they’ve never seen before? We’ve set a very high bar for ourselves with bringing that to the screen.”
