Last year, the President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige shared his thoughts on the role that The Fantastic Four would play in the future of the MCU. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kevin described The Fantastic Four as a "big pillar of the MCU going forward, just the way they've been in the comics for 50 or 60 years."
He added, "Fantastic Four is the foundation for everything that came after in the comics. There have certainly been versions of it [on screen], but never inhabiting the storytelling of the MCU. And that's something that is really exciting for us."
The Fantastic Four is being directed by Matt Shakman.
