Fantastic Four | Marvel Studios | July 25, 2025 | Matt Shakman directs

They should get someone who hasn’t done a superhero movie before. With that said, if I were a betting man, I’d say Peyton Reed is a likely choice.

Sounds like someone may be about to get his second shot at the FF

But would he take it after 3 ant-man movies?

Why not? Because Watts also did? Watts just came off one of the biggest hits ever, and even the article it was announced in said Watts is expected to come back for a fourth Spidey film, he's just taking a break first.

[SpiderByte]

Although, there is one specific actor-director who could also be in likely contention. But that's a discussion for at least a week from now.

A few pages back someone suggested Brad Bird. I second the motion.

Somone also said no one knew about  the Fabtastic Four before Fox made the movies. I had to collapse in  laughter at that one.

Of course the guy  pretty much hates Marvel in general.

[Yandereprime101189]

I want Dwayne Johnson to voice The Thing so bad.

Brad Bird is a fucking boring choice. He does two pastiches of the FF and you think he'll do an actual FF movie? Unlikely.

Brad Bird has made a superhero movie no other MCU movie has been able to reach the quality off. But yeah I don’t think he’ll do it because of the other projects he has got going (ex. Ray Gunn).

Yes, and those movies are very clearly direct pastiches of the FF. He's not gonna do it for real.

 

It'd be like getting the guys who did Galaxy Quest to do a Star Trek movie.

Good lord, imagine calling The Incredibles "a pastiche of Fantastic Four." Didn't know the world revolved entirely around Marvel that a superhero movie centered on a family of four is a direct rip-off of F4.

[eddyxx]

It’s clearly a F4 rip off.

But it very obviously is meant to be that. A team of a family of four where one of them can stretch, one can become invisible and create force fields, and one is named Mister Incredible, with an archenemy who gets his abilities from his technological genius, and another who's based on digging underground. It's not very subtle.

 

Jack Jack can even literally light himself on fire like the Human Torch.

Still better than any F4 movie that there will be and there is.

Doesn't make it not a pastiche though.

[cookieleeann]

Kinda crazy Marvel sued Disney over the Incredibles back in '04 only to get brought by them 5 years later.

[WittyUsername]

Brad Bird would be an even more uninspired choice than Peyton Reed. 

[Macleod]

This movie needs one man and one man only...

 

Robert Eggers.  😁

[SpiderByte]

Well would you look at that, completely unrelated news to anything that could be happening here
