No one other than Kevin Feige can currently decipher what is happening at Marvel Studios with the Fantastic Four. The movie, which was announced a long time ago, has been surrounded by rumors and speculation with no confirmed news of any concrete development. Over the past few months, there has been a long list of actors associated with the project, including Margot Robbie and Adam Driver.
Now, it appears that the studio is starting from square one yet again, even going so far as to shuffle directors. The Fantastic Four Reboot is a movie that will bring the iconic Marvel family into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, made possible by Disney’s takeover of Fox. The studio has been working on shaping this project for almost two years.
During this time, actors such as Adam Driver, Matt Smith, John Krasinski, Margot Robbie, Vanessa Kirby, and Daveed Diggs have all been rumored to be a part of the film at some point. However, the latest casting update reveals that the studio has scrapped the entire casting process and is starting fresh, which apparently includes the director as well.
According to a recent report, Jon Watts, who previously quit the project and made way for Matt Shakman, is now returning to it. Watts, known for his work on recent Spider-Man films, decided to take a break from the superhero genre in April 2022. However, it seems that he has had a change of heart and is back on board.
Details are scarce at the moment, and it is unclear whether Watts will co-write the film, replace Shakman entirely, or take on another role. The rumor itself is quite wild and confusing at this stage. The Fantastic Four Reboot is currently scheduled for release on May 2, 2025.
