RUMOR: Marvel Studios Targeting 2022 Release Date For FANTASTIC FOUR Reboot

We still know very little about Marvel's plans for the recently acquired Fox properties, but a new rumor suggests that the studio intends to tackle Fantastic Four before the X-Men, & sooner than expected.

Kevin Feige has previously stated that Marvel Studios won't begin to integrate The X-Men and Fantastic Four characters into the MCU for at least another five years, but if a new rumor is to be believed, it might be a little sooner than that for Marvel's First Family.

GWW has heard that the studio is eyeing a 2022 release date for a Fantastic Four reboot, and that Ant-Man director Peyton Reed is campaigning to helm the project. Reed has previously expressed interest in the property, pitching a '60s setting.

Although it does make sense that Feige and co. would prefer to tackle the FF before The X-Men with Fox's franchise still so fresh in people's minds, we'll have to take this with a massive pinch of salt for now. Even if there are some tentative plans in place, we all know how quickly things can change.

If Marvel really is aiming for a 2022 release (we know there are currently films dated for February 18th, May 6th, and July 19th) for Fantastic Four, there's a good chance we'll get confirmation at SDCC this year.

If Peyton Reed directs that means there'll be a big jump up in quality for the F4 films from unwatchable to merely mediocre!

@tmp3 - Give the dude a break, he had to make ANT-MAN an interesting character. And I think he succeeded.

@soberchimera - Ant-Man is an interesting character. That's why he's survived so many years, and that's why a director as good as Edgar Wright wanted to tackle the property for so long.

Keep Peyton Reed away from this I'm begging. He has Ant-Man and while I don't get why those are enjoyable, it's fine, we don't need to hand him something this important. I genuinely don't have faith in that guy after his 2 movies.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - His filmography sans Ant-Man is pretty bad, and with Ant-Man it's pretty mediocre

@OmegaDaGrodd -
Introduction of Fantastic Four so soon is confirmation Spider-man, or at least the Peter Parker version, is gone with Sony regaining the rights completely. Same with the rumored introduction of Oscorp.

Those involved wanted to vary Spider-man from his prior films, removing Oscorp, Green Goblin, Uncle Ben, etc...

Inclusion of Oscorp is so they can adapt Dark Reign, Seige and Dark Avengers. Meanwhile the Fantastic Four will be the new young generation of the MCU as making them younger is necessary to vary them from the adult and young adult versions we have seen prior.
