MCU: Predicting 25 Movies Marvel Will Make After Phase 3
22. The Fantastic Four
The Film
After Fox messed up two attempts to kick-off a Fantastic Four movie franchise, it's about time Marvel swooped in and took the rights back (or at least shared them Spider-Man style). Because only Marvel could really do their first family justice (because they wouldn't try and grit away the comic book source or make it too daft).
Any Evidence?
The trail may have gone pretty dry recently, but back when it was reported that Fox and Marvel were talking over the rights for the Hellfire Club and Legion, it was assumed that the deal would include a trojan horse clause that would reveal itself later. A significant number of people believed that would be that a Fantastic Four movie was in the offing, and lots of rumours have flown around since.
Any Groundwork?
Not really, but then Doctor Strange proved that retroactively adding new strands to the established MCU didn't necessarily have to be a struggle. Likewise Spider-Man, so maybe we'll just see a new origin dropped in?
