'Fantastic Four' set to join Marvel Cinematic Universe, books Nov 2024 release

'Fantastic Four' will soon join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. President of Marvel Studios - Kevin Feige confirmed at Comic-Con that 'Fantastic Four' movie will be included in the MCU Phase 6 and be released on November 8, 2024. No casting for the film was announced, reports Variety.

Apart from 'Fantastic Four', the Marvel Phase 6 also announced two Multiverse Saga-ending 'Avengers' movies, 'Avengers: The Kang Dynasty' and 'Avengers: Secret Wars', both to be released in 2025.

According to Variety, Fantastic Four has a long history in film, but getting them in the MCU has taken a bit longer than expected. Jon Watts, who directed Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man' trilogy, was originally attached to helm the film, which was first revealed to be in development at the 2019 San Diego Comic Con.

Variety further states that at the 2020 Disney Investor Day, Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige announced that Watts would direct the movie, putting it one step closer to reality. However, in spring 2022, Watts stepped down, needing to take a break from superhero movies after making three 'Spider-Man' films in a row.
