Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has confirmed The Fantastic Four will probably be a Sixties interval piece and teased it is set in an alternate universe to the primary Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.
On the Official Marvel Podcast, Feige was requested blatantly if The Fantastic Four — which stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm — is about within the Sixties.
“Yes, sure, very a lot so,” Feige mentioned, earlier than teasing the movie will not be set in the primary MCU timeline. “It is a interval, and there was one other piece of artwork we launched with Johnny Storm flying within the air, making a 4 image.
“There was a cityscape within the nook of that picture and there was plenty of sensible individuals who observed that cityscape did not look precisely just like the New York that we all know and the New York that existed within the 60s in our world. And these are sensible observations, I’ll say.”
Feige mentioned The Fantastic Four is the mission he is most wanting ahead to too, and confirmed filming begins on July 29, 2024. “I’m extremely excited for what we’re doing with The Fantastic Four proper now, and what Matt Shackman, our director who did WandaVision for us, is engaged on. He’s already moved to London, and we begin filming on the finish of July,” Feige mentioned.
“I’m extraordinarily excited by it as a result of I feel these characters are mainstays, are legendary pillars of the Marvel universe that we have by no means acquired to play with or discover in any important approach, other than Multiverse of Madness and some enjoyable teases earlier than. In the best way that we’re doing it in that movie.”
The Fantastic Four premieres nearly a 12 months in a while July 25, 2025 and is to date confirmed to star John Malkovich, Ralph Ineson, Paul Walter Hauser, and Natasha Lyonne in supporting roles.
