Old MCU Fantastic Four Discussion Thread

[Shinobi Shaw]

Ever since that last WandaVision episode...

Spoiler

I can’t help but to picture in a future FF movie post credit scene, Reed and Sue are looking for all types of nannies for Franklin, then the doorbell rings and we see Agatha and she winks all purple at the screen and then fade to black

lol.

Is there anything to this? Jennifer Lawrence heading to Australia to film new Fantastic Four film | Daily Mail Online

No. That’s a trashy paparazzi magazine site. Marvel isn’t filming a new Fantastic Four as I type this. The only MCU movie we know is filming in Australia right now is Thor: Love And Thunder. Marvel can keep things secret, but no way can they the existence of the FF movie filming right now secret.

 

[JP]

Yeah, but hilarious none the less!

Jennifer Lawrence heading to Australia to film new Fantastic Four film

 

[Albright]

OMG if true.
I still like her and she‘s so adorable. I know lot of people think she‘s annoying
Edit: very unlikely that they start filming in Australia soon

She was rumored for Phyla Vell long ago...that would make more sense in Thor or Guardians 3

I call B.S. on this story

I call B.S. on this story

I'm not sold on it at all either, but definitely worthy of being shared and discussed.

 

[terry78]

Considering I have decided I want Jessica Rothe as Sue, I take offense to them even suggesting otherwise.

Jennifer Lawrence heading to Australia to film new Fantastic Four film

Reasons this story is unlikely to be true.

1. Jennifer Lawrence is currently filming a movie called Don’t Look Up with Adam McKay.
2. Marvel is in the middle of filming Thor: Love And Thunder in Australia right now.
3. This story hasn’t been picked up by any of the major trade outlets with actual insiders like HW, Deadline and Variety.
4. Jon Watts is filming Spider-Man 3 right now, and will be busy on several months of post-production on it afterwards.
5. The FF movie has no writer announced. So an actual shooting script hasn’t even been created yet.

Not yet. It's Saturday, so we might not hear anything from them until Monday at the earliest and DailyMail was first to break Gyllenhaal being the villain in Far From Home. I'm not saying it's likely, but still nothing to totally dismiss just yet.

 

[Dark Raven]

I hope Jennifer Lawrence isn't playing Sue. She'd be a really boring choice, especially after we had to put up with her dominating the X-Men films recently.

 

[Crimz]

Please be a fake rumor.

Were they? If so a broken clock can be right twice a day. I don’t buy it one bit.

It was close, but yep. Jake Gyllenhaal 'joining the Spider-Man: Homecoming movie cast' | Daily Mail Online

I'm not saying it's true at all but I'm not going to completely dismiss it entirely just yet.

 

[Spider-Fan]

File this under I want a more reliable source

 

[Kev4000]

Mhh I dont want JL as Sue. I can see that she would act Sue and Mystique really similair. I want a fresh face, JL can used as a one-time villain for a movie.

 

[Web-Head]

File this under I want a more reliable source

For sure. Still thought it was worthy to share and discuss. I'm not buying it, but I'm not totally dismissing it because I know they were right when Gyllenhaal was cast as Mysterio.

fake news

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

A few points I would make:

It’s not a Daily Mail. It’s story from the Daily Telegraph in Sydney.

But if you click the link, you (or at least I) just get a blank page.

I went to the Daily Telepraph’s page and found the headline in their entertainment section, but, again, the story page just gives be a blank page.

The story doesn’t seem to be: “Hey! We’ve got a big breaking story about the FF cast.”, but rather “Marvel is going to continue to make films in Australia including FF and that will bring celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence. Isn’t it cool that they’ll continue to film here in the future?”

And I don’t see anything indicating filming will start soon. They could be talking about FF starting late 2021 or even 2022.

This is true. Like I said, I don't totally buy it but it was still worth sharing.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Jon Watts is also still filming Spider-Man. He would not be starting FF until at minimum filming on that was over.

 

[Nardz937]

Atrocious casting if true, but I'm sure it's fake since it's director is still on another project. Not expecting any castings till Watts is done with Spider-Man.

Casting they can do now. Certainly not preparing to film anytime soon, though

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

When Variety or THR reports it then I’ll have a temper tantrum.

 

[Nardz937]

Sure. I'm certain they definitely have castings in mind, but am not expecting any to be inked until the director is fully committed.

But Watts is such a "yes man" and company guy I wouldn't be surprised if he has zero say in castings.
