Sorry, But It Sounds Like Fox Are Forging Ahead With That FANTASTIC FOUR Sequel
We've all spend this past weekend fantasising about the prospect of the Fantastic Four returning to Marvel Studios, but it doesn't sound like it's happening! According to a new report, Fox are intent on making that 2017 sequel a reality, so hit the jump for further details...
I'm not sure whether this is a surprise or not! Despite the fact that Fox are looking at a loss of around $60 million on Fantastic Four, the prospect of them throwing in the towel and handing the rights back to Marvel Studios always seemed a bit too good to be true. Despite the fact that the movie pretty much f**ked everything up, a sequel could fix at least a few of its mistakes (that was just a Doombot, right? Right?!), and HitFix has heard that that is indeed the plan as of right now. "Everything I've heard would indicate that the studio will move forward with a Fantastic Four sequel. It may not make that original 2017 date, but they're definitely planning to make it."
Before you doubt this claim, these comments come from the same person who revealed that Marvel and Sony were talking about making a deal for Spider-Man. The site also adds further fuel to the Josh Trank vs. Fox fire as they add that those early reports about the movie being totally scrapped may have been correct. "He may claim that his cut a year ago was amazing, but that opinion was not shared by the majority of the people working on the film. There were internal conversations at that point about potentially scrapping everything. That's how strong the concerns were." Would you like to see Fox's Fantastic Four get a second chance in a sequel?
