In the comic book world, the Fantastic Four are known as Marvel's first family, but at this point, they're some of the last major heroes to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We still don't know who will be playing the new incarnations of these beloved characters in Marvel Studios' upcoming movie, but at least we know who's going to be in the director's chair, per Deadline: Matt Shakman, the filmmaker behind every episode of "WandaVision" and several episodes of "Game of Thrones" and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
Fox delivered two "Fantastic Four" movies back in the 2000s, and the studio tried and failed to reboot the franchise in 2015, meaning there have been three attempts already at bringing the Fantastic Four to the big screen. When Disney acquired Fox in 2019, however, it raised hopes that Marvel would finally be able to do the Fantastic Four right on celluloid.

Glen Powell says he won’t be flying high with the “X-Men” anytime soon.
The “Top Gun: Maverick” breakout star recently shut down rumors that he would be playing Cyclops in an upcoming Marvel installment for the mutant franchise.
“Before Comic-Con, everybody was like, ‘Dude, are you Cyclops?’ No, I’m not,” Powell told Variety. “Nobody has called me. I don’t even have one contact info for Marvel, so I have no idea what people are talking about.”
Powell later tweeted to clarify his comments, writing, “I sound angry and confused, but I promise it’s just confused.”
And it seems a “Top Gun” spin-off featuring co-star Miles Teller is “more likely” anyways, as Powell previously quipped.
“Miles and I always send each other screenshots of random people who hope that Rooster and Hangman end up together,” the actor explained. “It’s, like, ‘The Notebook’ but with Rooster and Hangman.
