Marvel boss confirms major Fantastic Four details

‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR’ take place during the 60s in an alternate universe, confirms Kevin Feige.

Kevin Feige says he’s most excited for ‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR’ and the upcoming ‘AVENGERS’ films out of all of the upcoming MCU projects.

Kevin Feige has seemingly confirmed that ‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR’ will take place in an alternate universe: “There was a cityscape in the corner [of the Johnny Storm poster], and there were a lot of smart people who noticed that cityscape didn’t look exactly like [our] New York … those are smart observations I will say.”

Kevin Feige shares that ‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR’ will start filming on July 29, right after San Diego Comic Con.

He also talked about Wonder Man.

Brad Winderbaum will be on ‘THE OFFICIAL MARVEL PODCAST’ next week to talk about the upcoming Marvel Television slate.

    I feel like the fantastic 4 has had more reboots that were consistent disappointments than any other IP. Are we still on super hero movie fatigue,

      I think we’re on movie fatigue and bad movie fatigue. All kinds of movies are struggling right now and Marvel has been 50/50 on their movie quality since Endgame. Mixed with nothing overall enticing people to theaters, it’s been a bad mix.

      Xmen, Fantastic 4, and Blade are expected to be the thing that gets people back into the MCU though. Hell, Deadpool and Wolverine is the only MCU movie in theaters this year.

        You can strike out Blade. Just lost another director and is firmly stuck in development hell. Rumour has it Mahershala Ali has also rejected a script that had him be a side character in his own movie, as a mentor for a bunch of teenage vampire hunters.

          Thank God. That sounds dumb as hell.

          But also, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Blade appear in a movie to entice people into future projects.

        The unreleased one has an unironic charm in it. I’m not sure it would have been viable in theaters but i liked it. But all the movies that made it to theaters were just very blah

          I think the latest one is at least fascinating for how bad it is.

          It’s a super hero movie that forgot it’s supposed to be super hero movie. It’s not until the last 5 minutes it makes the grand realization it’s actually supposed to be a super hero movie, so it rushes through the super hero part as fast as possible just to get that done.
