IF Marvel Got the Rights Back and Announced FF in 2020 . . .

How would you feel if Marvel got the rights and announced a 2020 FF film?

  • That would be great! Bring it on. I can't wait.

  • Too soon. I can't take another one. I need more time to recover.

  • Not sure yet.

Even though I'm wary of another Spider-man movie. His makes the most sense and easiest to do.

There's no need to seed the FF in a bunch of movies. Just have nerdy Peter Parker seeing the story on tv of the failed space mission of Reed Richards and his team and nothing more.

Everything else around their origin unnecessary.

At that point, just start them off in the Inhumans movie finding the Inhumans.

Doom can appear in whatever, no need to reference Richards at that point.
 
I don't really understand why some people want FF to be a 60's period piece or have their origins in the 60's in the MCU. That would undermine Captain America's man out of time angle. And the FF should be able to work in the modern day just like Spider-Man and the Avengers characters do. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby didn't create FF to be a retro concept. Why should it become that now?
 
I agree, i dont like the 60s idea. What i do like is the lost in space angle. Because when they return home it'd be a nice little reference to the being back at marvel lol.
 
Yeah I think they should go for the pulpy lost in space movie for a solo. Feige always talks about how they try to make their movies in a certain genre. For the FF it just works.

It's mentioned because it would be unique. And after the way the FF have been butchered they need a spark. In many ways the FF are characters from another time. Lee and Kirby didn't create them to be retro but they created the FF during the sixties so there's shared sensibilities.

I don't think it would undermine Captain America's schtick at all. He's from another era altogether so he has his own separate baggage. The sixties had the Cold War, Viet Nam, free love and hippies. It would not be such a shock for them to see how things developed from that point.

Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking. Sort of like Hope at the end of Ant-Man when

she sees the Wasp suit and says "It's about damn time!".
 
I'm not a fan of the 60's angle either. I don't want to see the "out of time" angle used with the FF, and I think they could still pull off a tone similar to the Lee/Kirby stories in a modern setting; minor updating notwithstanding.

Since I'd want to introduce them in Infinity War, I'd just say they got their powers sometime after AoU. Perhaps the Chitauri invasion renewed interest in space exploration and that is the reason why they went.

What would be the point of Austin Powers-ing them if it doesn't have an effect on their characterization anyway? It seems like a useless and silly gimmick that is ultimately unnecessary. Just have them in the modern day.

The problem with a modern day setting is that this film would look an awful lot like the previous failed versions. Setting Marvel's The FF (Director - Peyton Reed) in the 1960s gives the gang a new style and look and let's the audience know that we're finally getting the Fantastic Four as they were meant to be. The Cold War setting is a good fit for Doom's Latverian Dictator and the time period lends itself to Reed's retro inventions. And there are some great characters there - Peggy Carter, Howard Stark, Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne.

Setting the team in the 60s gives the team breathing room. No one will be asking where the Avengers are when it hits the fan. They will be the top dogs, the only superhero team in town - and perhaps even the inspiration for teenage Nick Fury's Avengers Initiative.

The 4 can always clash with the Avengers, Spider-Man or the Guardians via Kang, a space anomaly the Time Gem or a Reed or Doom device. But the FF needs the 1960s.

They do not need the 60's. There are plenty of ways to differentiate the MCU FF from the previous versions without setting them in the 60's. The fact that it's the MCU for one thing. They couldn't interact with Spider-Man or Iron Man in the previous Fantastic Four movies but they can in this universe. And setting them in modern day allows for that much easier without having to resort to stupid gimmicky time travel plot devices.

You have a point. Even if they do have a modern take though I'd like for it to have a 60's sort of sensibility. Pulpy, bright, creative and colorful sci-fi. I'd want it to evoke this kind of image:
1378185706689.jpg
Sort of how GOTG has an 80's Star Wars rip-offs style to it.
 
It's interesting that the set photos from Captain America seem to show that Black Panther will have a fairly big role in Civil War two years before getting his solo film.

We've been talking about the idea of introducing the FF in a different Marvel Film and that just illustrates it's not only possible but something Marvel is currently doing.

So if Marvel gets the rights, there's not reason they couldn't give 10 minutes of screen-time to the FF in an Infinity Wars film and erase much of the damage Fox has done with their unrecognizable characters.
 
I gotta say Avid has some seriously good ideas on how to introduce them even if they don't time travel.
 
The 60s angle is fine. I really don't see a problem with it and its a better idea then setting the property in the modern day for the 5th time, when it really works better in the 60s. We've had a Captain America film in the 40s, and now 3 X Men films in the 60s,70s, and 80s so its not like audiences are averse to period pieces. It can and has been done successfully, assuming the film is good.

Do they need to be in the 60s? No,it doesn't need to be in the 1960s. But the style and feel of a 60s certainly separates from the other 4 films more then just slapping the modern day MCU label would. It certainly makes the story and characters stand out and be unique as opposed to just doing it in modern day again. If you're gonna do the project for the 5th time, do something new, fresh, and dynamic with it with it beyond just slapping the MCU label on it.

The only down side I would see is the use of the four and Dr.Doom in the modern day .That would be the main set back, and the strongest argument against doing it in any decade other than when the film comes out. Galactus, Scrulls Silver Surfer , etc could be in any decade. Of course every fan has their preference but if they went that route I really haven't been persuaded that it would be a bad idea other than it wouldn't be some people's preferred approach.
 
I don't see that it's a real problem to introduce them into the modern day MCU without having to go jumping through hoops to tie them to the beginnings of the Superhero age of the MCU. Captain America was first hero and everything after that sort of falls sometime after.

They've already established Stark as the technology genius, Banner as physicist and now Pym as some sort of bio-techno-physicist. So those ships have sailed.

I like the idea of them being lost in space, but the timeframe shouldn't be 40-50 years -- 10 would be about the max I would want to see.
 
The problem with doing FF in modern day is explaining where the hell Reed Richards' been all this time and why no one brought him up. It's not exactly a plot hole, but it's also not something you can just brush over without making it a bit awkward.

Also unlike Cap, Reed Richards is a man that's in many ways already ahead of his time. His 60's discoveries are too advanced even by today's standards. He might feel even more at home in the 21st century.

5-10 years would work. Have Peter Parker and Aunt May watching the news to see them coming home, even as an after credits scene.

Time travel is a huge part of Marvel comics lore. I don't understand why this is suddenly considered gimmicky? :huh:

In a world where people shrink and talk to ants, hammer wielding Norse deities return from a bygone age and talking trees and racoons go cavorting on space adventures how on earth is time travel taboo?

No the FF do not need the 60's but it would be interesting and presents some unique opportunities and ideas to explore. As of now the FF are officially a dead brand. Bringing them into the MCU would be exciting no doubt but will simply doing that be enough? It wasn't enough for the Hulk. Let's see how things shake down with Spider-Man before we assume automatic success here.

Further, the Marvel universe is going to get pretty crowded as time goes on. Marvel needs to be creative with how they expand it because general audiences won't be able to keep up and characters that are poorly introduced will start to feel redundant. In a world with the Avengers do we really need the Fantastic Four?

Fans love to talk about all the heroes joining up for Infinity War but really what are we talking about here? A 30 second cameo? People try to vilify Age of Ultron for having too many characters which is a fraction of what Infinity War could involve and that movie was actually well done. I just don't think that particular end game is all its cracked up to be. I'd rather the FF feature prominently in other adventures in the future.

But my feeling is that none of this matters because even if Fox stopped being $*#! and Marvel did get the FF they are too damaged now and we won't see them do anything with them for a while. Plenty of time for Marvel to iron out the continuity issues and come up with creative ways to revitalize the brand. No it doesn't have to be the sixties. It could be done in a number of ways. All of this discussion is just spitballing for fun. Meanwhile, for all we know, Fox may decide to do yet another reboot in 7 years (heaven forbid).

:up: Yes! My thinking exactly.
 
I can see merits to either the 60s origin or a present day origin. The real elephant in the room is Reed Richards. The MCU has done a *really* good job of selling Tony Stark as el super genius supremo. Reed Richards, in order to work, has to come off as *markedly* smarter, and this might not be possible to do without seeming cheap. That's even aside from fitting where such a super genius has been and what they've been doing.

To make matters worse, a lot of the possible solutions are contradictory: making Reed Richards a young, upcoming super genius helps avoid the "where was he" issue, but makes it harder to sell him as Stark's superior and hurts the establishment of the FF style.
 
Still like the idea of the 80's instead of the 60's.

We didn't even land on the moon until 1969. By the 80's we had the Shuttle program in full swing. Or just for fun 1994.

It could also be like an in-universe tragedy. Sort of how we've had a fair share of NASA tragedies, have the four be astronauts that got lost in space a decade or so back (or whatever time frame) during a cosmic storm and haven't been seen since. Have Uatu the Watcher guide them home to warn the avengers of a coming threat. Everyone assumes it's Thanos and when that's over Uatu comes back to tell them Thanos wasn't the threat he warned about. Enter Galactus
 
I think it should be modern day because I think it fits better with the core concept of the Fantastic Four which is exploration and the future.

I think Reed Richards should be someone who looks at Tony Stark's flying armored suit as antiquated and something he could do better in his sleep if he wanted to, but he doesn't because his fields of interest don't lie in flying suits of armor. I think that just works better if he exists in modern day but the current technology available to mankind is the only limitation on him and what he can achieve. Making him an adult in the 60's doesn't really work with that in my opinion.

I think the Fantastic Four could be introduced after Infinity War and would still be able to impact the universe and have their place in it and be completely modern day, without any man out of time stuff and being lost in space for 10 or 20 or 60 years. Say after the events of previous MCU movies where mankind has been invaded by aliens or threatened by aliens the public opinion is that mankind needs to take it's future and place in the stars more seriously. That we need to be able to travel the stars at least as fast as we can travel around our own planet.

So instead of trying to beat the soviets into space like in the original origin, this time the 4 are testing a space ship that has warp drive capabilities and traveling to a far off place to study an anomaly (cosmic rays?). Reed is the only one on the planet that is able to reverse engineer an alien ship that was discovered and figure out how it works. And because of that he's the one leading this mission and bringing his own crew with him. A mission that could change how mankind travels space forever.

That is what makes them the celebrities in this universe that they are in the comics, and what separates them from the Avengers.

As for where Reed has been all this time... the world is still a very big place so I am not that worried about it.
 
I have given it a lot of thought and here is what I would like to see if the rights for Fantastic Four were to revert back to Marvel soon. It still has problems, but it will give you an idea at least.

May 05th 2017, Guardian's of the Galaxy 2, Adam Warlock is introduced along with allies Pip the Troll, Moon Dragon, Nova, High Evolutionary, and together with the Guardian's of the Galaxy they will face off against Adam Warlock's evil future self the Magus.

End Credits Thanos speaks with Death after witnessing the power of Adam Warlock's Soul Gem, and he says soon my love. Very soon.

July 28th 2017, Thor Ragnarok, Thor, along with Odin, Loki and all of Asgard do Battle against the Fire Giant Surtur, who threatens to destroy all the 9 realms.

End Credits has Thanos use a teleportation device, and he appear unexpectedly, catching Adam Warlock off guard (who is preoccupied contemplating his place in the universe). Thanos steals his soul gem and leaves him for dead.

2nd End Credits, Pip the Troll and Moon Dragon return from a mission only to find Adam Warlock laying there lifeless. Quickly they rush him to the Guardian's of the Galaxy headquarters on Knowhere for help. Gamora then tells everyone how Thanos her father through adoption had plans to gain all 6 Infinity Stones and how he would destroy the universe itself just to seek his mistress Death's approval. She says we can't let that happen. Starlord then says why is it that everyone is always trying to destroy the universe, these people just need to chillout? Rocket says this whole thing just really makes my Fur Fly. Groot says, I am Groot. Drax say's well then it's unanimous lets go kill the bastard.

May 04th 2018, Avengers Infinity War Part 1, The Masters of Evil battle the Avengers lead by Baron Zemo, while Thanos meets with the Collector behind the scenes and begins assembling the Stones/ Gems. The Avengers eventually beat the Masters of evil, but they are fatigued from battle, so when Thanos appears most of them are barely able to survive the unexpected onslaught. Thanos then takes his prize from Vision's forehead and assembles the Gauntlet, before disappearing and leaving him for dead much in the same way as he did with Adam Warlock. The Avengers are like Who was that?

End Credit's shows Galactus talking to Silver Surfer. He tell's Surfer that he senses a disturbance in the Universe that will threaten all of Existence, and that they must act quickly if they are to stop it. So, he say's ride Surfer and seek out Uatu the Watcher as he will know what needs to be done. So, the Silver Surfer quickly takes flight into space on his surf board racing to find Uatu in hopes of finding answers.

2nd End Credits........ A Television is on in a Living Room, but it is cut short with a News flash saying we are interrupting your normally scheduled program to bring you this news from NASA. It then shows Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben as Astronauts on a space shuttle that is about to be launched into space. They are going on an exploratory mission of our Solar System that is suppose to last for a little over 1 year. The US. government is hoping this new trip into space will help reinvigorate America's interest in space which has been waning as of late. The news then goes to a Biopic of the 4. They are all Famous in their own right. Reed Richard's is a Nobel Prize winner for his work on Astrophysics and Quantum Mechanics. Sue Storm is the COO of Storm Industries one of the top 10 largest companies in the world. Her brother Johnny Storm is a top NASCAR Driver sponsored by Storm Industries, who says he likes to do more thrill seeking activities when he is not doing his job. Ben Grimm is a highly decorated Air Force pilot, who played a vital role in the war against terror, by taking out key targets. It then goes on to talk about how this mission has been years in the making, and how these 4 people have really become good friends. The Clip then goes back to the 4 on the Shuttle where it appears as if Johnny and Ben are bickering about something, and Sue then say's come on you guys enough. NASA then begins the countdown 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and we have lift off. The Shuttle then rockets up into the sky and through our atmosphere heading towards space.

July 06th 2018, Captain Marvel, It starts by Introducing Mar-Vell and the Kree Empire. It goes on to explain that they have been at war with the Skrull's since before Man existed. Then it shows battling space Armada's going at it in Star Wars style. Then it cuts to other Kree ground troops battling with the Skrull's in hand to hand combat. The Supereme Intelligence then says, now after thousands upon thousands of years we are losing ground to these reptilians, these Skrulls. Mar-vell he says, given your recent health conditions with fighting the cancer virus (due to an exposure to Skrull Compound Nerve Gas during one of his battles), and the fact that I trust you more then anyone else, I am taking you out of the field and sending you on a mission, as I trust you will see it through. I want you to go to earth and return with our long lost blood relatives (referring to the Inhumans). We will need these reinforcements to aid us in our fight if we are to survive. So, Mar-Vell sets off on a path to earth to get the help needed. Meanwhile Carol Danvers is introduced, and we get background on her. Then it cuts to Emperor Dorrek who is informed of Mar-Vell's departure towards earth to seek help to aid the Kree in the battle. Knowing he can not allow this mission to succeed he sends his most powerful and decorated Skrull officer (Kl'rt, before the super skrull transformation) to intercept. Mar-Vell makes it almost all the way to earth when Kl'rt catches up to him. A battle begins and they seem pretty equally matched at first, but given Mar-Vell's weak state due to his cancer, he knows he can not keep it up for much longer. Kl'rt then delivers a deadly blow to Captain Mar-vell and he barely manages to escape the battle, crashing down on earth. He knows it will not be long though before he is found and finished off. Then along comes Carol sees him injured and tries to come to his aid. Captain Mar-Vell, says it is too late for me, but I need your help at which time he transfers his powers to her along with his memories and feelings, so they will always be connected. She promises him she will honor his last requests and Captain Mar-Vell without any further superpowers left and a weak immune system finally allows the cancer take over and he dies in her arms. She begins searching the earth for Inhumans to aid her and returns to the Kree Homeworld after she has found a large group of no name Inhuman's from the location Afterlife featured in Marvel's Agents of Shield (Save the bigger ones for the Inhuman's movie). The Inhumans cooperate with her because she promises you will finally have answers to everything you have ever wanted to know. In the mean time Kl'rt finds Mar-Vell's body dead, and is unaware of the transfer that has taken place with Carol Danvers. He returns home to tell Dorrek of his Victory, only to find that the reinforcements have arrived. Together with the power of the Inhumans and the Kree Army slowly the tides begin turning and the Skrull's take flight. Tired of the battle though the Kree's do not pursue for now. It is a action for another day. The Kree thank Captain Marvel for her help and state that as you have kept your promise to Mar-Vell, so shall we keep your promise to these inhumans. So, the Supreme intelligence opens up their vast library of resources to aid the inhumans in answering what have we become. Before the credits we see an Image of Attilian in one of their books, and it suggests that early inhumans fled to the darkside of the Moon to seek quiet.

End Credits have the Silver Surfer reaching Uatu the Watcher on a distant planet. The Surfer tells Uatu that Galactus has sent him to seek Uatu's help. The Watcher says Galan knows I can not interfere with such things, and that it is merely his job to observe. The Silver Surfer says but if you do not assist us the Universe may perish. The Watcher turns and says this is not my concern, saying now go, and pointing away. At first the Surfer is upset thinking how can the Watcher just sit by idle and let the Universe be destroyed because of some oath, but then he realizes the direction the Watcher is pointing happens to be towards a planet across our Solar System. Convinced that it is not a coincidence, the Surfer gets on his board and rides heading towards earth.

2nd End Credits.... Galactus uses his powers to call upon Eternity and says we both knew this day was coming and it is now time for us to assemble the others if we are to save our Universe.

November 06th 2018, The Inhuman's, It starts by Introducing us to the Royal Family and showing us the connection between the people of Attilan and the Inhuman's left behind on earth's Afterlife. Then the story turns it's focus on Black Bolt and how he became the ruler of Atilian by overthrowing The Unspoken, and banishing him to earth. Then it goes into his relationship between him and his brother Maximus the Mad. Much like Loki, Maximus is Jealous of his brother Blackbolt and the position he holds as leader of the Inhumans. So, Maximus sets a plan in motion where he locates and allies himself with the Unspoken, and along with a group of other evil Inhumans, they retake the city by Force and Blackbolt's position as leader of Attilan along with it. Once Maximus has gained control, he imprisons his brother Blackbolt and he sends the rest of the Royal Family into exile. Eventually, with Blackbolt out of the way and the Royal Family gone The Unspoken see's his opportunity to retake the Throne for himself and he easily knock's Maximus off the throne despite having supporters. The Unspoken imprisons Maximus along side his brother Blackbolt. The Royal Family however
gets word that Attilan is in trouble and they return under the cover of night and free both Blackbolt and Maximus from their prisons. All together they take on the Unspoken and defeat him a second time retaking the throne for Blackbolt. The Royal Family then returns to their positions as the movie comes to a close the Guardian's of the Galaxy arrive at Attilan looking for Volunteer's who will aid them in the battle ahead against Thanos. Star Lord ask's Blackbolt will you stand with us, and Blackbolt responds by nodding yes!

End Credits show the Silver Surfer entering earth's atmosphere, flying through a city in China and people Shrieking at the idea of an Alien having descended from the heavens. The Silver Surfer is not sure why Uatu sent him to this planet, but he will not leave until he has the Answers he needs. Meanwhile Heimdell, see's this event unfolding on Earth and notifies Thor that earth has been invaded by a cosmic being. Thor says to Heimdel that planet is under my protection, and I will see no harm comes to it.

2nd End Credits......Galactus and Eternity meet in a gathering with all the other most powerful cosmic entities in the Marvel Universe. Eternity says in order to save our Universe we will need to combine our powers to summon the one true master of the Multiverse. So moments later all the cosmic beings use their powers in unison to create a super powerful blast that rips a hole in the very existence of our universe and through it out steps The Living Tribunal. Galactus says it's time.....

May 03rd, 2019, The Avengers Infinity War part 2, Thor arrives on earth and locates the Silver Surfer. Believed to be a foe and given the fact that Thor often hits first and ask's questions later a battle begins between the two. They are pretty evenly matched and the battle looks like it will go on for a while, but a news station captures footage of the battle and alerts the other Avengers to the situation. The Avengers quickly rush to come to Thor's aid, and they join the fight with Thor against the Silver Surfer, but it is soon discovered that Surfer is not there to fight but seek help instead, and that it was merely a misunderstanding due to Thor's hotheadedness. The Surfer tells the Avengers of how Thanos has assembled all 6 Infinity Stones/ Gems and he asks will you help me to stop him. It hits the Avengers just then, that the powerful individual that came down and stole the Gem from the Vision forehead, must have been one in the same. So, Captain America says you can count us in and together they all head out to meet Thanos in Battle.

Meanwhile..... The Living Tribunal, Eternity and Galactus along with the rest of the cosmic Entities begin their battle with Thanos. Well Thanos with very little effort using the Gauntlet places them into a state of Suspended Animation, where they are unable to do anything except watch as events unfold. Then the Heroes arrive including The Avengers, The Inhumans and the Guardians of the Galaxy. Thanos thinks well if the most powerful cosmic entities were not a concern then the rest of this rabble is beneath my concerns. However, it is that cockiness that leaves him open to an unexpected attack by the Surfer and he almost looses that Gauntlet. Angered by the situation Thanos lets out a blast of Cosmic Rays aimed at destroying the heroes. However, in his enraged state he completely misses his mark, but the blast continues on for thousands of miles until it reaches an unexpected target in Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben who were just about set to be returning to earth when the shuttle gets bombarded by the rays.
Eventually, with the help of Adam Warlock (who was trapped in the Soul Gem, but escapes when Thanos starts losing control and goes mad with power), Thanos is defeated. Adam Warlock, creates the Infinity Watch who will be protectors of the stones from that day forward. Earth's mightiest heroes return home, battered and bruised, but not broken.

End Credit's show Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben coming home and the public celebrating their safe return. However, Reed says how is it possible we survived, by all accounts we should be dead.

.... 2020, Marvel's Fantastic Four..... Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben try to settle back into their old life, but it is soon discovered that they will never be the same, as Fantastic powers begin presenting themselves. Reed and Sue decide to get married and she becomes Susan Richards. Then all 4 of them move in together and decide to learn how to use their powers together to help people, and it isn't long before they begin making a name for themselves as the Fantastic Four. I am thinking the Villain could be Prince Namor who is tired of humans polluting his waters and he plans to use his forces of Atlantis to conquer earth. However, he falls for Susan Richards, and Reed has not only a physical battle on his hands, but one of the heart.

End Credits...... Doctor Doom is shown on a news cast taking over Latveria, and he says people of Latveria this is only the beginning of what is to come. I will not stop until I have complete control over the entire world. After all, I am Doom and none will stand in my way.

......2023, Marvel's Fantastic Four 2, The Fantastic Four try to save the earth against Doctor Doom's efforts for world domination.

.......2025, Marvel's Fantastic Four 3, the Return of the Silver Surfer and Galactus. This could be Silver Surfer is forced to return to earth at Galactus's command because he is dying of starvation. The beginning can have the Fantastic Four battling against Galactus, but then the Avengers show up and it is like the comic where it is "Everybody Versus Galactus", where eventually he falls to the heroes, but Mr. Fantastic revives him. Galactus, vows not to eat the earth since Reed Richards saved him and he returns to space.


Anyways just some of my thoughts.

Surfer
 
Personally, I don't want the retro FF people keep talking about. I want them current, interacting with the Marvel heroes out there now. It would be great if the FF got their powers due to some cosmic imbalances that we learn were generated by Thanos' tinkerings.
Also that Reed and Stark work together to come up with the way to defeat him during Infinity War.
