Fantastic Four General News & Discussion Thread (TAG SPOILERS)

Doom appearing in this should be a give away at this point. This is the MCU, and Doom is heavily associated with the Fantastic 4.
 
Is it possible that for this next film we finally will have Susan Richards as the Invisible Woman versus Susan Storm? Rumors are persistently suggesting that she'll not only be already married to Reed, but also either pregnant or nursing a young Franklin in this film. With the prior FOX films, we never got to enjoy Susan and Reed as a married couple--that storyline arc wasn't expanded upon in neither the 1994 or 2007 films. I think it'd be great for the MCU to have an actual pair of spouses at its center. Tony Stark and Pepper Pots had just begun to us a solid glimpse of what that dynamic could be like, but then Tony of course passed away in Endgame.

Interesting point. And if we expand things beyond spouses, there’s really no such thing as a happy, healthy, romantic relationship in the MCU.

It’s kind of like James Bond, if there’s any kind of romantic relationship, it’s destined to end in tragedy - or at the very least, there will be serious complications.

Hawkeye and his wife may be an exception, but she’s really outside of the MCU.

And I hope they avoid things like Namor and other complications we’ve seen through the years with Reed and Sue and just keep it simple and solid and unquestionably loving.

I think that would make it unique not only in the MCU, but it would stand out compared to just about any other comic-book film.

I think Jean Grey’s relationship is bound to be complicated - whether it’s with Logan or Scott or whomever.

I hope they keep it simple and yes no Namor affair please
 
I don’t think you’ll see Namor again since the actor has been accused of assault. Unless they recast

At this point, I don't think the public would care about a recast as long as the character gets a decent role in his next appearance. For those who don't know much about Marvel mythos, Namor is a BP villain who only appeared once in the movies.

And considering they're finally pursuing a recast for the Black Panther character, I don't think this is out of the realm of possibility.

Agreed 2000%. Although I need to revise my statement: the MCU did have a broad relationship between Vision and Wanda Maximoff beautifully fleshed out over several movies and the WandaVision series. Their relationship is currently all over the place/riddled with tragedy, but now that VisionQuest is on its away, there's a distinct possibility that they'll rekindle what they had.
 
And considering they're finally pursuing a recast for the Black Panther character, I don't think this is out of the realm of possibility.
Is there evidence that this is happening? After they completely reworked their entire franchise plan to avoid recasting King, I can't imagine they go back on T'Challa now.
 
I think they'll use T'Challa's son as the next Black Panther.

A T'Challa variant in Doomsday/Secret Wars is possible but I doubt they would have a T'Challa variant as the Bp3 lead.
 
Is it just my imagination, or does this seem like one of the smoothest, tightest-lipped, most drama-free Marvel productions we’ve ever seen?

It seems like at this point we should be non-stop discussing/arguing about leaked details, set photos, comments from cast and crew, leaked scripts, reports of on-set conflict, reshoots etc. etc.🤷‍♂️
 
The film wrapped, what, a month or two ago? Reshoots probably haven't happened yet. Plus, we've had a few set photos and talk of footage that was shown at last year's Comic-Con.

Seems like Matt Shakman is able to make well oiled machines.
 
You know, for the upcoming Super Bowl spot, it would be kind of neat if they did an in-universe promo for the Future Foundation with Reed Richards giving voiceover and being in front of the camera showing off the various parts of the facility and all of the technological wonders and advancements made and in development to help everyone in the city and improve their livelihoods. Susan, Ben and Johnny could appear as cameos. At the very end, you could have a few seconds of quickly edited parts of a teaser trailer that you can watch right after. Maybe even have little short snippets of footage throughout “interrupt“ the promo. Also, doing some sort of viral campaign with a Future Foundation website containing various articles, and possibly even footage, of their exploits and history to really help flesh out the world.

Just an idea I had. Something to set the tone set and give an idea of what the look, tone, vibe and feel of the film is going to be.
 
I’m kinda on the fence for going in dark. Meaning not watching any teasers/trailers from here on out. Will just watch it in the theatres on opening night the same way I went in dark for Infinity War and Endgame. And my God do I never regret that decision. Everything was new to me and no retread or zero moments that I could say ‘I already saw that in the trailer at least ten times cause I rewatched it that many times…

I mean I already know I will watch this and pay to watch it 100% as long as I am alive so why watch the trailer which is meant to convince me and others to shell out money to watch it?

If the test screenings are not good... then that could change a lot for this film.

I love that idea. It's fun.

I know people who don't watch any trailers and refuse to watch a single video for a movie they plan to watch in several months. Its like the complete opposite of those people who have read every scoop/leak before the movie releases its first trailer.
 
Ok friends I have decided not to watch any teasers/trailers and will go in First Steps completely blind. I hope to post again here July 24/25 2025 after I have watched the movie for the first time in IMAX/theatre…

SEE YOU IN FIVE MONTHS!!!!

BELOW:
(My Doctor Doom inspired post apocalyptic get up (in which I became internet famous for one day when the nerd and comic book sites thought I was Will Smith as Deadshot on the set of Suicide Squad))

You're stronger than me, I don't think I could resist finding out more about the film.
 
I have a small brain.

If I see something cold, I miss half of what’s going on. I miss the days when they would release a novelization ahead of the film so I could read it first. :funny:
