New York Comic Con 2017: 10 Major Anouncements That Must Happen
3. A Fantastic Confirmation
Marvel Comics
For those not in the know, the Fantastic Four have been separated in the mainstream Marvel Universe for quite some time - curtesy of Fox's unflinching resolve to hold onto the onscreen rights for Marvel's first family.
That looks set to change soon, however, with Marvel Legacy #1 setting the stage for a veritable FF reunion to take place sometime in the future. Some have posited that the upcoming Two-in-One series could serve as a vehicle of sorts for an FF team book, and, while it does now seem likely that this is the case, some further hints that Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben are coming back would do us all a world of good.
You know, just to make sure. The FF have been absent for so long now that any return really needs to have all the bells and whistles to accompany it, even if a stealth title would be a nice surprise for fans to wake up to.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
