[Venom 1988]

Well the way the way they annouced this was certainly not on my bingo card lol.

Also it looks like they moved it to July 25th, which was Thunderbolts spot. So I have feeling they are gonna shift Cap 4 to May now and Thunderbolts is gonna take Blade's November spot.

My guess is they've been traveling the multiverse since the 60s?

None of my top picks for the cast, but can't deny that poster has me pretty hyped.

Oh did it? I must have missed it. When did they annouce that?

Looks like Ben is reading a magazine with an MIT cover on it--I wonder if we'll see Howard Stark pop up in this?

Or any other scientists of that era -- Michael Douglas' Hank Pym, for example?

 

[Sawyer]

What a weird way for them to finally confirm. But hey, at least it’s happened.

As opposed to a headline in one of the trades? It's a bit of fun.

Time to fall back in love with the MCU lol

Agreed. I wish they did more stuff like this.

Have you guys realized that this film (July 25, 2025) is coming out almost exactly 10 years after the Josh Trank one (August 7, 2015)? We really did have to wait a long time.

I've still never been able to sit through that movie

Still haven't seen Josh Trank's FANT4STIC.
I should see it out of pure curiosity but I haven't heard or read a single good review or comment about it. I'm afraid.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate it, it just felt like something that could’ve easily flown under the radar if people weren’t paying close enough attention. Hell, I almost thought it was just a variant cover before I noticed how much Reed looked like Pascal.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

I will admit it's a bit random, but also a bit creative. I feel like in a post-Gunn DCU, as well as with what Reynolds does with the Deadpool films, more often first confirmation will just come from the studios or creatives themselves versus a trade report.

Now a trade report could still beat them to it, but again, it's something different.

I just wish the F4 was made during the hayday of the MCU. Would have been nice to see the Silver Surfer during the infinity war.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I will post what I posted elsewhere

I hope the movie turns out good. Glad the cast debacle is over, now gotta see how this turns out. I want this movie to be great, but the struggles to this point have me a bit cautious. One could say they have let this cook and haven't rushed it out, while I could also say it feels like a lot of people ended up leaving this project or turning it down. Hopefully this is the movie I want. But I would have been more confident in that analysis like, 3 years ago

It's pretty much the precursor to Josstice League. You can see every seam and identify every bit that was reshot. It's a real Frankenstein's monster.

Pretty much my thoughts and if this movie really is a 60’s period piece like that art seems to be implying then I’m less interested in this project. While I’m sure a good movie could be made set in that era where the Beatles where all the rage, I much prefer a F4 movie set in modern day.

 

[GoblinScrier]

Love the logo...love the family dynamic in the poster....I hope Matt's love of the source material is reflected on the big screen...as for the cast, we've more or less known for awhile...I am excited especially for Ebon and Vanessa...I bet Joseph will do fine for Johnny...as for Richards, Pedro is still a unknown variable for me...is he a good actor? Of course, but when you had at least for me, Krasinski being the ideal Reed, it just feels like a hollow victory...but we now know...lets get a kickbutt script and cast Mads as Doom and I will be in heaven as we head towards Secret Wars....

 

[Bran The Man]

I'm willing to give Pedro Pascal a chance as Mr. Fantastic but right now, I'm just not seeing it in that picture. I don't see Reed, I see Pedro Pascal in a Fantastic Four sweater.

But he may surprise us all. There's been casting choices like this before.

And I LOVE the attention to detail right down to the "LIFE" magazine. I hope time travel and space play a MAJOR role in the film.

And as far as a possible modern Baxter Building, I would LOVE if we got something like this:
