It's got a full year. It's not the end of the world.

Did they even start the filming yet?

You act like Supermans filming is like so far ahead instead of maybe a month and a half. Nobody's predicting that gets delayed for some reason

Yep, I act like that because it's true)

Sups started filming Fabruary 29 and is expected to wrap August 2. What are you talking about?

[AMC Theaters Enjoyer]

Big budget movies have short times between filming starts and release dates all the time. It's not out of the question for Fantastic Four to still make its date even if it starts filming exactly a year out. Like I said before if it gets moved to November it'll be if Marvel wants a movie there more than they need one for July (and if they don't get Spider-Man moving this fall like rumored)

[Durden]

Yeah, the production of Superman is way more advanced. However, since Phase One, many Marvel films (and many other blockbusters) began filming exactly one year before their release.

 

However, they can still delay it for any other reason. Personally, I think CAP, Thunderbolts, and FF all have perfect release dates. I'm hoping there won't be any further delays.

I'm just kinda tired of complaints about how bad films look  and how badly vfx artists are treated. And then all this talk about how it's normal now to spend 1 year for shoot+post

I thought they would figure that out after no way home.

Lmao typical fanboy double standards.

 

At least the last major superhero movie set in the 60s, X-Men: First Class had pretty much the same shoot start interval before release so there's hope for this to make its date and not look like shit

[Macleod]

I look forward to the month (year?) when this starts shooting...  I somehow doubt it's making next July if it doesn't start shooting until...the end of December???  (According to Variety!)

I bet Disney really wants a Marvel movie for the end of July, especially with how it's looking for D&W... don't see it really moving in November unless all three movies move... or at least Cap.

That makes no sense though. The release date has nothing to do with D&W's performance.

One nice thing about the Alternate World 60's setting: You canhave the original FF origin story, which you simply cannot do in this reality since the origin is based on a theory about radiation in space near the Earth which turned out not to be true;(in fact it was disproved with a year when the first FF comic was published) and the attempts to retcon and explain it never really worked all that well.

I also hope the music used reflects the early pre Beatles Sixties.
