This time, the action will take place in an alternate history/parallel universe set in the ’60s, offering a retrofuturistic environment for audiences.
First reviews for the latest entry into the MCU praised the flick as “quite possiblythe best Marvel Studios film ever released” with “immaculate” VFX and a “pitch-perfect script.”
Speaking to journalists Friday about the future of the recently maligned superhero studio, Marvel boss Kevin Feige spoke of the thought process to reboot the franchise following Disney’s 2019 acquisition of Fox, which previously held the film rights to the Fantastic Four, X-Men and Deadpool characters.
“Why Fantastic Four? Because it’s Marvel’s First Family. It’s in the history of our characters; they deserve to be A-listers. They were A-listers in the comics. Every crossover movie we’ve made in the Infinitysaga,Civil War,leading toInfinity WarandEndgame, which is really theInfinitysaga from the comics, theFantastic Fourwere huge players in those comics and obviously we couldn’t do that then,” he said, adding that the film is a “no-homework-required” movie kicking off Phase Six of the MCU.
