The Fantastic Four are officially headed to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.At Disney's Investor Day 2020, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed Marvel's first family will arrive in their own MCU feature film at a later date. The film will be helmed by Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home director Jon Watts.
The announcement came at the very end of Feige's presentation, after he unveiled such projects as Ironheart, Secret Invasion, Armor Wars and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. However, he did not disclose a potential release date for Fantastic Four, nor did he offer any additional details about the upcoming film.
Initially, 21st Century Fox owned the film rights to Fantastic Four, preventing Marvel Studios from developing a movie based on the characters. As such, Fox released three Fantastic Four films -- Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and reboot Fan4stic -- between 2005 and 2015. Then, in March 2019, Marvel Studios' parent company The Walt Disney Company acquired Fox. This brought the Fantastic Four back into the Marvel Studios fold, allowing the studio to develop a MCU film about the characters.
Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four film does not yet have a cast or release date.
