While Fox had respectable success with the 2005 and 2007 Fantastic Four movies (which starred Chris Evans as Johnny Storm pre-Captain America), the former studio saw a Josh Trank-directed 2015 reboot completely tank after a full reshoot, grossing only $167M worldwide. This time, it’s different — it’s Feige’s Fantastic Four.

Kevin Feig e recently discussed Marvel Studios’ approach to The Fantastic Four: First Steps and its Earth-828 setting in a new press interview. He explained the early decision to set the film in a separate universe, the goal of making it accessible to new viewers, and how Disney+ overexposure influenced the studio’s direction.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has revealed that following 2027's 'Avengers: Secret Wars,' the full team of X-Men and even Tony Stark and Steve Rogers will be recast.
