Reasons Why Marvel Studios Will Produce 'FANTASTIC 4' Film

Kapanlagi.com - Marvel has announced that they will produce the upcoming FANTASTIC 4 film. The news was delivered by Kevin Feige himself, but Marvel has not yet provided further details about the film, including its release date.

Previously, FANTASTIC 4 was released in 2015 and directed by Josh Trank. However, the film was not successful at the box office and received negative reviews. FANTASTIC 4 also had three other sequels, the first of which was released in 2005 and starred Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis.

After Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, Kevin Feige announced at the 2019 Dan Diego Comic Con that FANTASTIC 4 will soon be coming. The latest sequel of this film will be directed by Jon Watts, who is the director of SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING. Jon Watts will direct FANTASTIC 4 after completing his work on SPIDER-MAN 3. Watts' involvement in this film is certainly a good sign for the film itself. It is hoped that the remake of FANTASTIC 4 can bring something new to Marvel.

Some may wonder why FANTASTIC 4 appears before X-Men. Here are some reasons why FANTASTIC 4 appears first:

1. FANTASTIC 4 is easier to work on

If compared to incorporating X-Men into the current MCU, working on FANTASTIC 4 will be easier. Including X-Men would mean incorporating various mutants into the MCU, and that is not a small matter. On the other hand, incorporating FANTASTIC 4 will be easier because they have started from scratch since phase 4 or phase 5. Moreover, the story of FANTASTIC 4 can still be connected to major events in the MCU from previous films.

2. X-Men needs to be remade

It is known that FANTASTIC 4 still does not have many live-action films, so the MCU chooses to work on this film first. Meanwhile, X-Men has the Fox version in its latest film in 2019, which is the conclusion of the Fox X-Men series that has been present since 2000, namely Dark Phoenix. In addition, X-Men has been running for two decades, so it takes time to be remade, unlike FANTASTIC 4.

3. FANTASTIC 4 has a large popularity

This does not mean that X-Men films are less popular, X-Men is also equally important. What's different is that FANTASTIC 4 plays an important role that can support the next phase of the MCU. This way, FANTASTIC 4 can take their share to succeed again in the MCU.
