Background

After the critical and commercial failure of the 2015 film Fantastic Four, co-written and directed by Josh Trank and based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name, 20th Century Fox began looking at new directions to take the franchise. Having also produced two earlier Fantastic Four films directed by Tim Story a decade prior, the studio did not want to just make another Fantastic Four film.[3] By June 2017, Seth Grahame-Smith was writing a new film that would shift focus to Franklin and Valeria Richards, the children of original Fantastic Four leaders Reed Richards and Sue Storm. Taking inspiration from the Ultimate Fantastic Four comic books, the screenplay included original Fantastic Four members the Thing and the Human Torch, and was described as "kid-centric" with a tone closer to The Incredibles (2004) than Trank's darker film.[4] The basis of the screenplay came from a separate script that Carter Blanchard had adapted from the children's book Kindergarten Heroes by Mark Millar. Millar previously consulted with Fox on their Marvel-based films.[5] In July, Noah Hawley, who had created the Marvel Television series Legion, was hired to develop a separate film focused on Doctor Doom, the Fantastic Four's primary antagonist.[3] The Walt Disney Company officially acquired 21st Century Fox in March 2019 and gained the film rights for the Marvel Comics characters that Fox controlled, including the Fantastic Four, for its subsidiary Marvel Studios.[6][7] The Marvel-based films that Fox had been developing were placed "on hold".[8]

Development

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that a new Fantastic Four film was in development at the studio in July 2019, after announcing the company's Phase Four slate of projects for their shared universe, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).[9] Feige said he was "extremely excited about those characters, and about bringing Marvel's first family up to the sort of platform and level they deserve".[10] In December 2020, Feige announced that Jon Watts, who previously directed the MCU Spider-Man films, would direct Fantastic Four.[11][12] Marvel Studios had begun meeting with writers for the film by February 2021.[13] That June, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said Feige and Marvel Studios were planning to "mine" the Fantastic Four franchise.[14][15] In April 2022, Watts stepped down as director of the film, citing the need to step away from superhero films following his near-constant work filming and promoting the MCU Spider-Man films for seven years. Marvel Studios and Watts both expressed interest in working together again in the future.[16] John Krasinski debuted in the role of Reed Richards / Mister Fantastic, a member of the Fantastic Four, in the MCU film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which was released in May 2022. Krasinski had been a popular suggestion for the role among fans for some time, and rumors that he had been cast as Richards had especially circulated since confirmation of the new film's development. The version of the character that he portrayed in Multiverse of Madness was from Earth-838, an alternate universe to the main MCU, and was a member of the Illuminati.[17] Grant Curtis and Nick Pepin were serving as producers on the new Fantastic Four film by that time, after working on the Marvel Studios Disney+ miniseries Moon Knight (2022).[18]

Marvel Studios was not close to shortening their list of director candidates by the start of June 2022. This reportedly featured a "large mix" of directors, including some high-profile filmmakers. Feige was said to be looking for a director who could oversee the filming process without him being present for the entire shoot, similar to Multiverse of Madness director Sam Raimi.[19] Later that month, Raimi said Feige had cast Krasinski in Multiverse of Madness because it was for an alternate universe cameo appearance and an opportunity to deliver on a popular fan casting. This led to speculation about whether Krasinski's role was a one-off or if he would return to star in the Fantastic Four film.[20] Krasinski later said he appreciated the role but there had not been discussions about him reprising the character.[21] At the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con in July, Feige announced that the film would be released on November 8, 2024, as the first film in Phase Six of the MCU.[22] Filming was set to begin in 2023.[23] Soon afterward, Feige said the film would not be an origin story for the Fantastic Four like the Story and Trank films were. He likened this to the MCU introducing Spider-Man without retelling his origin story (there were also several Spider-Man films before the MCU version). He explained that many audience members were aware of the basic Fantastic Four details and Marvel Studios instead wanted to tell a new story, and added that the studio felt they had "set a very high bar for ourselves" based on the group's long history in the comic books going back to 1961.[24]

Matt Shakman was in early talks to direct the film by late August 2022.[25] He and Michael Matthews were considered the finalists in a search that also considered Reid Carolin.[26] Deadline Hollywood felt Shakman was "the guy to beat" given his familiarity with Feige after directing the Marvel Studios Disney+ miniseries WandaVision (2021).[25] Shakman subsequently exited a planned Star Trek film due to the schedule for Fantastic Four.[27] Feige confirmed that Shakman would direct the film at the 2022 D23 Expo.[28] Later in September, Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer were revealed to have been writing the script with Feige for "some time" prior to Shakman's hiring. The four were set to work on aligning their visions for the film while Feige and Shakman began searching for actors.[29] In October, the film's release date was pushed back to February 14, 2025.[30] At the end of the month, Jeff Sneider of Above the Line reported that Doctor Doom was not being planned as the main antagonist of the film, but could potentially have a small role such as an appearance in the mid- or post-credits scenes,[31] with Marvel Studios looking for a major star to play him.[32] Talent agents were reportedly preparing for casting by January 2023.[33] The following month, Shakman revealed that filming would begin in early 2024 and explained that he chose to work on Fantastic Four as he did not want to pass up the opportunity and was excited by its focus on family, optimism, and technology, even though he enjoyed his work on the Star Trek film.[34] He also confirmed that they were in the early process of casting,[35] which would begin later that month. The focus was reportedly on casting Sue Storm before the other Fantastic Four members.[36] Feige said the characters would be a big pillar in the MCU moving forward.[37]

Pre-production

Josh Friedman was hired to rewrite the script at the end of March 2023. Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter felt the hiring of Friedman indicated a possible tonal shift for the film, since Friedman had written many projects within the science fiction genre while previous writers Kaplan and Springer were known more for comedy.[38] Sneider further reported that Shakman planned for the film to be heavily cosmic-focused with elements from the 1960s, that the characters Galactus and Silver Surfer would be featured,[39] and that Friedman was hired to bring the film closer to Feige and Shakman's vision. Marvel was still open to working with Kaplan and Springer in the future.[40] In April 2023, Sneider reported that Marvel Studios had offered Adam Driver the role of Reed Richards.[41][42] The next month, filming was set to begin in January 2024 in London.[43] Also in May, Sneider reported that Emma Stone was the studio's top choice for the role of Sue Storm, but the actress declined the offer after they did not want to pay her $20 million for the role.[44][42] In June, the film's release was pushed back to May 2, 2025.[45]

Prior to the start of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike in July, Marvel Studios conducted screen tests with a group of actors for the role of Richards, including Christopher Abbott and Jamie Dornan, which reportedly "did not go very well" according to Sneider.[42] The studio was searching for a high-profile actor and offered the role to Jake Gyllenhaal, who previously portrayed Mysterio in the MCU film Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), but they did not want to pay the salary he asked for as Feige wanted to contain the studio's talent spending.[42][46] They were considering casting a non-white actor as Richards and Pedro Pascal became interested in the role, but he would not engage in conversations during the strike.[42] In early August, Sneider reported that Marvel Studios was looking at Vanessa Kirby for Sue Storm,[32] who was expected to be the lead character of the film,[42] and Joseph Quinn for Johnny Storm. Sneider believed an actor had already been cast as the Thing. Driver had passed on the role of Richards after struggling to connect with an early draft of the film,[32] and after the studio did not want to pay his high salary,[42] but he could have been considered again after Friedman submitted his draft of the script following the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. The studio had also approached Matt Smith for the part, but that was not expected to work out and they were instead looking for "a bona fide movie star".[32] Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who previously portrayed Micro in the Marvel Television series The Punisher, was reportedly approached for a role in the film, potentially Silver Surfer,[32][47] and a Latino actor was expected to portray Galactus.[32]

Shakman revealed in October 2023 that they planned to start filming in early 2024 at Pinewood Studios in London, and said the cast would be announced once the SAG-AFTRA strike ended. He noted that, despite the WGA and actors' strikes, they were still able to work on early tests of the film's visual effects to help translate the team's skills from comic art to the screen, and they had also been working on the film's production design.[48] Alexandra Byrne was serving as costume designer after working on several other MCU films.[49] Later that month, Shakman revealed that Cameron Squires was co-writing the script with Friedman. Both had worked with Shakman on the Star Trek film, and Squires was a writer on WandaVision as well. Shakman had discussed the film with comic book writer Matt Fraction,[50] and said his work on the television series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia helped inform his approach to the film with its playfulness, precision in collaboration, and use of improvisation.[51] Following the conclusion of the actors' strike in November, Pascal entered talks to portray Richards and was negotiating his schedule for the film around his other commitments. Marvel Studios was expected to make offers for the other leading roles soon after, having waited because they deemed it essential to find the actor for Richards first.[1] /Film reported that Pascal had signed on and that an announcement would be made shortly.[52] By that time, Javier Bardem was being eyed to portray Galactus after Antonio Banderas had previously been linked to the role, though Bardem had a potential scheduling conflict with the untitled Joseph Kosinski Formula One film. Moss-Bachrach was expected to play the Thing, and the studio was looking to cast a woman as Silver Surfer instead of a man.[42]

By early January 2024, Sneider believed filming would begin in mid-March or April,[53][54] but he reported shortly after that filming would not begin until later in 2024, between July and September, and this delay had caused Pascal to leave his commitment to the upcoming film Weapons. Sneider questioned if Fantastic Four could still make its May 2025 release date if filming was not starting until mid-to-late 2024.[54] At the end of January, filming was revealed to be beginning in August 2024.[55][2] Early the following month, SAG-AFTRA listed Pascal as being cast in the film and set to begin production shortly.[2]

Filming

Principal photography is scheduled to begin in August 2024,[55][2] at Pinewood Studios in London,[48] under the working title Blue Moon.[56] It was previously expected to begin in 2023,[23] and then in January 2024.[43] Shakman planned to film some sequences in IMAX.[48]

Release

Fantastic Four is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 2, 2025.[45] It was previously scheduled for November 8, 2024,[22] and February 14, 2025.[30] It will be the first film in Phase Six of the MCU.[38]
