Marvel s Fantastic Four movie release date and everything else we know so far

By Henry T. Casey published 11 October 2022 The rumors for Marvel's Fantastic Four movie are all about its cast (Image credit: emka74 / Shutterstock) Marvel's upcoming Fantastic Four movie faces a task none of its predecessors have succeeded with. Getting the Richards family right on the big screen. And now that Marvel's officially announced the film, after it was the subject of speculation ever since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, the Fantastic Four movie exists in that gray area of casting rumors. But why will this movie be better than the many that preceded it? Well, Disney's track record with Marvel movies is much stronger than any other studio's. On top of that, at D23 we learned FF is going to be helmed by one of the best directors in the MCU: Matt Shakman (fresh off WandaVision).

Fantastic Four movie cast

That being said, not all is right at the moment with this latest iteration of the Fantastic Four, as a lot of negativity has been thrown toward potential casting ideas. Fortunately, water has been thrown on those rumors. This all began when The Daily Mail (opens in new tab) had people convinced that Jennifer Lawrence was headed to Australia soon to film the new Fantastic Four movie. Deadline's Justin Kroll (opens in new tab) squashed that rumor, by tweeting that "there is no script and it will be awhile before this film starts shooting." No other casting rumors have bubbled up yet, but fans online really want Emily Blunt and John Krasinski in those roles. Blunt does not agree with this idea, telling The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab) "I really understand that [superhero movies] are like a religion for a lot of people ... They don't appeal to me in the same way. I don't have this burning desire to play a superhero." A post shared by Rob Brunette (@robbrunette) (opens in new tab) A photo posted by on

Fantastic Four movie References in the MCU

We're starting to see a lot of references to Marvel's first family in the MCU. For starters, a Kang the Conqueror (who also goes by the name Nathaniel Richards) variant named He Who Remains appeared in the Loki finale. Kang's long been a thorn in the Fantastic Four's side in the comics. In that same episode, there may have been another reference to the Richards family, at least as one fan saw it. A close look (opens in new tab) at an outer-space scene may have revealed the Richards family's space ship.
