After the Fantastic Mess Four reboot, everybody is wondering: will Fox move with its plans for a 2017 sequel? The box office result for this year's Fantastic Four, the fans' reaction, the critical reaction "“ everything, literally, says that it won't happen. But, so far, there is no official response to this question.
The most reasonable thing to do for the studio, if they want to keep the rights for the franchise, is to wait another 8 years and start from scratch all over again (we simply cannot believe that they will make a deal with Marvel, like Sony did for Spider-Man). But, when money is involved, reason has nothing to do with it. And when Simon Kinberg says that the X-Men will go cosmic and that they will crossover with other Fox properties (he named just Deadpool and Gambit, but we all read between the lines), we actually believe that Fantastic Four will get a sequel.
It may not be in 2017 "“ but it will be one nonetheless. So what did the producer/writer said about Fantastic Four specifically?
Simon Kinberg "“ too busy with the X-Men franchise. But"¦

In an interview with MTV, Simon Kinberg (who also wrote, produced, and even directed the Fantastic Four reshoots) said that he was in fact too busy with X-Men: Apocalypse to actually think about the future of the Fantastic Four franchise.
However, he did express his disappointment. He did say that his disappointment came from the fans panning the movie (but we all know that he was rather upset of the reboot not making money). And that he did want to make a good movie "“ what prevented him from doing that? Who knows!
And here comes the but: "I do believe there is a great Fantastic Four movie that we've made with that cast. So I'm gonna figure out what that is." (via Screen Rant). Where did that came from? We have no idea. Probably from the same place where the reshoots came"¦
So does that mean that Fantastic Four 2 will still happen? Check out the next page for Kinberg's answer!
