Marvel-Studios-Chef Kevin Feige kündigt „Die Fantastischen Vier“ als Historiendrama aus den 1960er-Jahren an, das in einem anderen Universum spielt

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has confirmed The Fantastic Four will be a 1960s period piece and teased it’s set in an alternate universe to the main Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.

On the Official Marvel Podcast, Feige was asked blatantly if The Fantastic Four — which stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm — is set in the 1960s.

“Yes, yes, very much so,” Feige said, before teasing the film won’t be set in the main MCU timeline. “It is a period, and there was another piece of art we released with Johnny Storm flying in the air, making a four symbol.

“There was a cityscape in the corner of that image and there was a lot of smart people who noticed that cityscape didn’t look exactly like the New York that we know and the New York that existed in the 60s in our world. And those are smart observations, I’ll say.”

Feige said The Fantastic Four is the project he’s most looking forward to too, and confirmed filming begins on July 29, 2024. “I am incredibly excited for what we’re doing with The Fantastic Four right now, and what Matt Shackman, our director who did WandaVision for us, is working on. He’s already moved to London, and we start filming at the end of July,” Feige said.

“I’m extremely excited by it because I think those characters are mainstays, are legendary pillars of the Marvel universe that we’ve never got to play with or explore in any significant way, apart from Multiverse of Madness and a few fun teases before. In the way that we’re doing it in that film.”

The Fantastic Four premieres almost a year later on July 25, 2025 and is so far confirmed to star John Malkovich, Ralph Ineson, Paul Walter Hauser, and Natasha Lyonne in supporting roles.

They already pull it when the villain was not Doctor Doom..

This is cooked before it comes out. No one wants this.

This is actually kind of exciting news. I want to see some Kirbyesque technology!

While I am SICK of multiverses, I think at this point a multiverse is necessary to bring Marvel mainstays that have previously been licensed out back into the MCU fold. Once the FF and X-Men franchises have been adequately established, perhaps another Infinity War level event can be done to bring them together into one coherent universe. Aaaand, I realized that I just pitched that Marvel make *Crisis on Infinite Earths.* Awkward, but I’mma stand by it!
