There Has Been a Significant Change Made to Casting for Marvel’s ‘Fantastic Four’
Everyone who enjoys Marvel has been waiting (or waiting anxiously, in our case) to find out who will play the ‘Fantastic Four’ in the movie that has been in the works for a very long time. Even while director Matt Shakman has remained very silent about this topic, he has provided a significant update regarding the casting.
As it appears like the days of the Avengers have been and gone for a very long time, the current status of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) could be in for a huge upheaval. Although the group is unquestionably important to the field of comics as a whole, we feel compelled to suggest that the ‘Fantastic Four’ may be of more importance to the plans that Phases Five and Six have in store.
The Fantastic Four’s Grand Entrance In Next Phase
Matt Shakman gave an interview to Collider in which he answered a wide range of questions pertaining to the upcoming Fantastic Four Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Naturally, one of the most pressing concerns was over the upcoming casting announcements, which are not yet available to the public. The following is what Shakman had to say about when the casting announcement will take place:
The end of all realities is drawing near, and Avengers: Secret Wars will focus on the events leading up to this catastrophe. In the comic written by Jonathan Hickman, a writer who has worked on a number of Marvel titles over the years, Doctor Doom assumes the identity of God Emperor Doom. Because of his new and improved shape, it will take the combined efforts of a large number of Marvel heroes, and these heroes will come from all different eras.
The fact that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has dubbed this era the Multiverse Saga makes perfect sense, given that it has the potential to result in the Multiverse’s obliteration. However, in the event that Marvel decides to follow this storyline, they will require the Fantastic Four’s assistance. Most crucially, they will require the presence of Doctor Doom, who is typically considered to be the most serious adversary faced by the ‘Fantastic Four’.This indicates that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will shortly debut the Fantastic Four as well as Doctor Doom.
It’s difficult to say. Like I said, we’re in the middle of a SAG strike, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they get a great deal really soon and we can go back. After that, once that issue has been fixed, there will be a plan at that point, but I can’t talk too much about it right now. At some point, there will be a public announcement made! I’m sure that everyone on the internet is really excited to find out, and I can’t wait to share it with them. I just don’t think I’m ready for it yet.”
Despite the recent end of the WGA strike, the actors represented by SAG-AFTRA have not yet reached an agreement on a new equitable contract. There have been meetings between the actors union and the producers union, but neither side has been able to reach a consensus. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the actors will be compensated fairly, especially so that Matt Shakman can finally reveal who will play the ‘Fantastic Four’.
Actors are not allowed to promote films that they are a part of or will be a part of because of the regulations of the strike. This indicates that the actors cast in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film are not permitted to discuss the fact that they are involved. Additionally, it is possible that Shakman desires to be the one to make the official announcement of who will constitute Marvel’s most powerful family even after the strikes have been resolved.
Marvel’s ‘Fantastic Four’ Cast Rumors Explained
There have been a lot of speculations floating around about the cast, but industry insiders have revealed that Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn are set to play the parts of Sue Storm and Johnny Storm, respectively. This has not yet been proven, but once the SAG strike is over, we would not be surprised if Shakman revealed that both of them were implicated in the scandal.
There have also been rumors that Galactus and Silver Surfer will play the primary roles of villains in the ‘Fantastic Four’ movie, which would make perfect sense if the rumors were true. There is also the possibility that Doctor Doom will make his big debut in a post-credits scene, just like Thanos did.
Even though Kang the Conqueror is still going to be the next major antagonist to trouble the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doom still needs to be presented to the audience.
