Major spoilers for Doctor Strange 2 follow. You have been warned.
Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four movie has reportedly found its new director, and Star Wars fans are sure to be intrigued by the potential hire.
According to an anonymous user on the Not Safe For Work (NSFW) website 4chan, yes, that also makes us very skeptical about the rumor that the next Marvel movie will be directed by The Mandalorian's Bryce Dallas Howard.
Howard's nomination rumor has been discussed extensively on Reddit, with many fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and Star Wars suggesting that she would be a perfect fit for the Marvel Phase 4 project. In The Mandalorian, as well as the best episode of The Book. from Boba Fett, we're inclined to agree.
Rumor continues to suggest that Howard would also play Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman in Marvel's Fantastic Four movie. Meanwhile, John Krasinski, whose appearance as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange 2 wowed fans, he's also said to represent the MCU's version of the leader of the Fantastic Four.
Howard's potential handover as the new Fantastic Four director comes two weeks after Jon Watts pulled out of the project. For Deadline, Watts, who helmed the multi-billion dollar (and multiverse-centric) Spider-Man: No Way Home, simply needed a break from the superhero genre after the cinematic exploits of the MCU's Spider-Man film trilogy. the.
Even though Howard is set to direct Marvel's Fantastic Four movie, we're taking that rumor with a huge pinch of salt right now. Prominent MCU leakers including Charles Murphy and MyTimetoShineHello have not commented on the possibility of Howard receiving the reins on the Marvel movie. However, MyTimetoShineHello suggested that Krasinski has yet to sign on to play Reed Richards in a Fantastic Four movie.
Given the generally good track records of these experts, we are waiting to believe this rumor until someone more reliable can corroborate it. Or alternatively, Marvel Studios officially announces the hiring of Howard. 4chan is the Wild West of the Internet, where anyone can post a speculative message without any evidence to back it up. For now, then, create this at your own risk.
Analysis: Will Marvel's Fantastic Four Be Part Of The Studio's Phase 4 Lineup?
(*two*)
Reed Richards and company will appear at some point. (Image credit: Marvel Comics)It's up for debate. The superhero movie reboot was announced by Marvel Studios at Comic Con in July 2019, along with other upcoming MCU movies including Thor: Love and Thunder, The Marvels, and Blade.
While Thor 4 and The Marvels, the latter being a sequel to Captain Marvel, WandaVision and Ms Marvel have confirmed release dates, Fantastic Four has not, however. This is not surprising, given that it still appears to be in its early stages.
Similarly, Blade also doesn't have an official release date but according to Production Weekly magazine, the Marvel movie starring Mahershala Ali will begin filming in the summer of 2022. Production Weekly is almost always up to date with movies and TV shows. . . filming start dates, so we're expecting principal photography to begin shortly on Blade. As long as that's the case, Blade could hit theaters in late 2023. Halloween falls on a Tuesday next year, so we could definitely see Blade with an October 27, 2023 release date.
Pero our desviamos. With Fantastic Four still not hiring a director or cast members – speculation suggested Marvel was preparing to launch its iconic quartet in January, however – its production (and subsequent release date) still seems a long way off at this point. stadium.
It's also unclear when Marvel's Phase 4 slate will end. The studio is expected to release five movies (six if you include Blade), seven TV shows and two Disney Plus specials in the next two to three years. Add to the fact that five more MCU Disney Plus shows have been announced in November 2021, and Marvel has its hands full.
So the prospect of seeing a Fantastic Four movie before 2024 seems unlikely. That may change if Marvel gets a director, writer, and cast in place; they just haven't announced them yet if they do. But, in our opinion, it will be a while before Reed Richards and company return to the big screen. Unless the movie goes into production before the end of the year, we'd be surprised if it ends up being part of Marvel's Phase 4 plans as well.
