This thrilling news promises a fresh and unique take on the beloved superhero team, making it a must-watch for fans of all ages.
The Fantastic Four Heads to the ’60s
In a recent episode of the Official Marvel Podcast, Kevin Feige was asked if “The Fantastic Four” would take place in the 1960s. Feige enthusiastically confirmed, “Yes, yes, very much so,” and hinted that the film would not follow the main MCU timeline. He teased an intriguing piece of art featuring Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch, flying through the air, making a four-symbol. Keen-eyed fans noticed that the cityscape in the background didn’t match the New York we know, suggesting an alternate universe setting.
