The Fantastic Four

A couple of years ago, you wouldn’t have believed that Spider-Man would one day join the MCU. In my opinion, the same thing can be said about the Fantastic Four.

This rumor can be traced back to last year’s Fant4stic, which proved to be a disappointment from all points of view. If, before its release, the studio was already planning a sequel, as well as a crossover with the X-Men, today all of that is water under the bridge. Fantastic Four? Fox has no idea what to do with it.

So maybe Marvel’s first family will join the rest of the superheroes. And this is very important, because the rights to the characters will also bring some of the biggest baddies of the Marvel comics. And the MCU needs them for Phase Four, after the Mad Titan is defeated.

But how about a different approach? How about an unknown property (unknown to the larger audience) opening Phase Four?
