Old MCU Fantastic Four Discussion Thread

[BobJM]

Interesting if true, but will how will appear? Will they be explorers from the 60’s displaced in time? Or will they be from the present? Time will tell!

Fingers crossed for 'from the present.'

 

[Detective Conan]

Breaking news: Fantastic Four will be directed by Jon Watts.

 

[Iceman]

Really glad to get official confirmation. They’re giving Watts some high profile projects. Must have confidence in him.

Noooo.

Just seeing the logo had literally screaming!

I did an impromptu Sam Kinson impression.

Oh! Oh! Ohhhhhh!

 

[Chip Chipperson]

that feeling was absolutely blissful

I might die the day that the MCU X-Men movie is announced

 

[Nardz937]

Well my favorite Superhero team of all-time is finally coming to the MCU. From a director I have little faith in though.

 

[samsnee]

Ugh. I don’t not like Watts but he isn’t exactly an exciting choice.

 

[Detective Conan]

Jesus Christ...why Jon Watts. WHY? Even Gunn would’ve been better than him...

 

[Spider-Fan]

I like Watts more than Peyton Reed for this. I think he did much better with the visuals from HC to FFH.

I approve

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Loving the logo!

Bring. It. ONNNN!!!

 

[terry78]

Fair enough.

 

[Zarex]

The only thing I really haven't liked about Watts Spidey films is the INO supporting cast. If he can avoid that with the FF I think he'll do just fine.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I don’t think the supporting cast and such will be an issue in FF. Older characters here. Both Watts films also did great jobs developing villains. I think he can do this

 

[Smurphftw]

Jesus what's with the Watts hate. You guys are acting like they hired Uwe Boll and not someone who just directed 2 Spider-Man movies that were hugely successful both critically and commercially.

 

[Closerframe]

I mean, I get it, but at the same time, why him?

 

[Chip Chipperson]

we are getting this for sure

 

[Flint Marko]

Really excited for this. Homecoming is one of my favorite superhero movies so Watts is a great pick in my eyes.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Jesus what's with the Watts hate. You guys are acting like they hired Uwe Boll and not someone who just directed 2 Spider-Man movies that were both hugely successful both critically and commercially.

Agreed. Watts ain't garbage and I think FF fits what I think he does well. Give him a good script, he will be fine. We could have done way worse lol

 

[CaptainWagner]

Seeing the Logo:

Seeing Jon Watts:

I love Homecoming, but Watts is an incredibly bland choice for the F4 of all franchises.

 

[Boom]

With respect to the long history of anticipation I've had for this project, I will stew on the choice of director for a bit.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I mean, I get it, but at the same time, why him?

Why not?

 

[Smurphftw]

Agreed. Watts ain't garbage and I think FF fits what I think he does well. Give him a good script, he will be fine. We could have done way worse lol

I definitely prefer him over Reed(who also would have been fine).

I agree he isn't exactly the boldest choice, but I can virtually guarantee you when the trailers and commercials come out, we will be seeing "from the Director of Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home", and the GA will basically say .... "Oh Cool!"

 

[Dark Raven]

Definitely not an inspired choice at all for FF.

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

Excited by the announcement, ambivalent on Watts.

i’ve always said I trust Marvel and whoever they choose.

I think it will be a very different type of film, so I’ll hang back and see what he and the studio give us.
