The Fantastic 4: First Steps [Marvel - 2025]

Premier film de la phase 6, Fantastic Four sortira en salle le 8 novembre 2024.

Bonne nouvelle, je l’évoquais justement dans le sujet Agatha Harkness !

Ce ne serait donc pas certain que Krazinski reprenne le rôle de M. Fantastique, il me semble ?

Des rumeurs parlent par ailleurs d'une première apparition de Jason Segel jouant le rôle de la Chose dans She-Hulk.

Compte tenu du Multivers, ça peut être n'importe qui, pour le coup !

Matt Shakman (WandaVision) est pressenti pour réaliser le film, suite au départ de Jon Watts (Spider-Man : No Way Home).

‘Fantastic Four’: ‘WandaVision’ Director Matt Shakman in Talks to Helm

Following the exit of Jon Watts, Marvel's signature superhero team has found a new director.


Matt Shakman, the veteran TV director who ushered Marvel Studios into the age of television, is in early talks to make the jump to MCU features with Fantastic Four, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

Shakman became a Marvel favorite with the Emmy-winning WandaVision, the first MCU series released for Disney+. He came up as a director on FX’s long-running comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia before graduating to event storytelling with Game of Thrones. In July 2021, Paramount tapped him to direct the next Star Trek film, which is currently dated for Dec. 22, 2023. It is unclear if he will remain involved.

Other filmmakers who met on the project included Love and Monsters director Michael Matthews and Dog filmmaker Reid Carolin. The two finalists ultimately were Matthews and Shakman, according to sources.

Fantastic Four will kick off Phase 6 of Marvel’s storytelling, with the film due out Nov. 8, 2024. No casting is known, but John Krasinski, who was long fancast in the role, appeared as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, released in May. However, it was an alternative-universe version of the character, meaning it is unknown if Krasinski will continue in the role.

Writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby introduced the team of Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and the Thing in the pages of Fantastic Four No. 1 in 1961. The comic reinvented the publisher, then known as Timely, and launched the Marvel Universe as a shared storytelling canvas.

The Fantastic Four is a cornerstone of the Marvel mythos but has never had a big-screen adaptation embraced by audiences. In the 1990s, Roger Corman produced a low-rent film that was never released, while 20th Century Fox released films in 2005 and 2007 that featured future Captain America actor Chris Evans as the Human Torch. (In 2010, there was even talk of a Paul Greengrass-helmed Fantastic Four vs. the X-Men crossover movie). Filmmaker Josh Trank helmed the disastrous 2015 Fantastic Four reboot, scuttling plans for more. A few years later, Disney acquired the rights to the superteam when the company purchased 20th Century Fox.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige first announced a new Fantastic Four film in December 2020 during a Disney investor day, with Spider-Man director Jon Watts attached to helm. (Watts later announced his departure in April 2022.) Feige has said this will not be an origin story, telling THR at San Diego Comic-Con in July, “A lot of people know this origin story. A lot of people know the basics. How do we take that and bring something that they’ve never seen before?”

J'ai hâte de voir ce que ces films pourrait donner !

J'ai des énorme attente concernant l'actrice qui jouera Susan Storm étant très fan de la performance de Jessica Alba dans le rôle

Ce sera surement Zendaya ou Lucy Liu si on suit la ligne Disney actuelle voir Hunter Shafer.

Plus sérieusement, j'espère surtout qu'il vont enfin réussir là où les autres ont échoué. Faire un bon film avec les 4 Fantastiques.

Pour la susans storm racisé le film de 2005 les ont devancer étant que contrairement au personnage dans les  comics Jessica Alba n'est pas blanche mais métisse ( blanche par sa mère et latina par son père) par contre c'est vrai qu'une actrice trans serait une première lol

Marvel Studios met à jour le calendrier de sortie en salles

Précédemment daté du 08/11/24 LES 4 FANTASTIQUES passe au 14/02/25.

Le scénario va être récrit par Josh Friedman (La Guerre des mondes, Snowpiercer, Avatar : La Voie de l'eau).
Jeff Kaplan et Ian Springer étaient les précédents scénaristes du projet, et l'arrivée de Friedman pourrait signifier un changement de ton. Kaplan et Springer étant plus connus pour leurs scénarios de comédie, tandis que Friedman est un habitué du genre science-fiction.

‘Fantastic Four’ Movie Gets New Writer With ‘Avatar 2’ Scribe Josh Friedman (Exclusive)

Matt Shakman, who was the key director behind Marvel series 'WandaVision,' is on board to helm the feature.



Marvel’s first family is getting a rewrite. Josh Friedman, who worked on Avatar: The Way of Water and developed Snowpiercer as a TNT television series, has been tapped to write the script for Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four.

Matt Shakman, who was the key director behind Marvel series WandaVision, is on board to helm the feature that has a release date of Feb. 14, 2025, and is set to kick off Phase 6 of its storytelling universe.

Fantastic Four was the heroic team that introduced readers, and the world at large, to Marvel Comics and ushered in the Marvel Age, as the self-generated hype machine described it in the 1960s.

Written by editor Stan Lee and drawn by Jack Kirby, Fantastic Four No. 1 brought forth Reed Richards, a scientist dedicated to his work and unafraid to push the boundaries of science; Sue Storm, his girlfriend-turned-wife; Johnny Storm, Sue’s hothead and hot-rod-loving brother; and Ben Grimm, Richards’ beefy best friend. After an unauthorized trip into space and being irradiated with cosmic rays, they become heroes Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and The Thing, respectively.  

Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer were the previous writers on the project, and Friedman’s hire signals a potential change in tone. Kaplan and Springer are neophyte scribes known for their comedy scripts. Among the works they have in development are the Rebel Wilson comedy K-Pop: Lost in America and Disaster Wedding, which has Palm Springs filmmaker Max Barbakow attached to direct.

Friedman, on the other hand, is a veteran of the sci-fi genre. He co-wrote War of the Worlds, the Steven Spielberg-Tom Cruise update on the H.G. Wells classic, and then acted as the writer-creator of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the Terminator TV series that served as his first foray into the world of James Cameron. Years later, he would return to work on 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate and was one of the writers Cameron turned to for help in world-building and crafting stories for his multi-movie Avatar franchise.

The scribe is also the show co-creator of Foundation, the ambitious Apple series adapting the Isaac Asimov stories; the second season is due to debut later this year. And he adapted for the small screen Snowpiercer, TNT’s take on the Bong Joon Ho’s sci-fi movie, although he left the show over creative differences.

Friedman is repped by CAA and Jackoway Austen.

Le créditer de La Guerre des Mondes m'apparaît bien flatteur :  il semble qu'il n'a écrit qu'une première version de l'adaptation du livre de Wells, réécrite ensuite en profondeur par David Koepp, un fidèle de la galaxie Spielberg.

Snowpiercer : il s'agit de la série

N'oublions pas le brillant Terminator Dark Fate à la filmo, bien que là aussi il n'y soit  peut-être pas pour grand chose. Ouf.  

Josh Friedman, au vu de son CV, m'apparaît comme l'archétype du tâcheron hollywoodien aux ordres, alignant les commandes industrielles ciné mais surtout télé les plus diverses.

Il est donc parfait pour Marvel.  

Il doit probablement sa promo à Avatar 2, à chacun d'estimer les qualités du scénario lui-même, indépendamment des prouesses techniques et visuelles du film.

Si on ajoute ça à l'indécision entre auteurs "comiques" et lui, il n'est pas inconsidéré de penser qu'une bonne adaptation des 4F n'est pas pour demain.  

Après pour Avatar 2 le gros du scénario c'est James Cameron, à tous les coups le Friedman n'a été qu'un genre de script doctor.

Cela étant je trouve pas Terminator Dark Fate si mauvais, y a des choses qui peuvent paraître ridicules mais que le film explique assez bien. Certes on n'est clairement pas au niveau des 2 premiers opus légendaires de la franchise, mais je le préfère de loin à T3 et Genysis.

La sortie est repoussée au 2 mai 2025.

Pedro Pascal serait envisagé pour incarner Reed Richards dans Les 4 Fantastiques :

Deadline a écrit:

Pedro Pascal Eyed To Play Reed Richards In Marvel Studios’ ‘Fantastic Four’

After months of speculation over who might play Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic in Marvel Studios‘ Fantastic Four, the wait may be finally over. While a deal is far from done, sources tell Deadline that three-time Emmy nominee Pedro Pascal is in talks to play the leader of the iconic superhero team.

Insiders add that scheduling is still being worked out, but multiple sources close to the negotiations are saying it’s headed in the right direction for Pascal to do this and his other future projects. Pascal has a full dance card that includes Gladiator 2, which is expected to go into production before the end of the year, as well as his popular HBO series The Last Of Us, which is expected to shoot next year.

Marvel had no comment.

As for other members of the team, that can now be worked out as it was essential to figure out who would be playing Richards before they could go out with offers to others. The hope would be to shoot early next year, so expect this cast to fill out quickly with director Matt Shakman currently in pre-production at Pinewood Studios in England. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will produce.

Pascal has been on quite the run in recent years including his Emmy-nominated role in the hit HBO series The Last of Us (he was also nominated for hosting Saturday Night Live, which was one of the more popular episodes of last season).

He is repped by CAA.

Dans un entretien avec The Times pour la promotion de Napoléon, Vanessa Kirby a laissé entendre qu'elle serait très intéressée pour interpréter Sue/Jane Storm, et semblait d'ailleurs bien renseignée.

The Times a écrit:

Vanessa Kirby: I was scared filming Napoleon — my knees were shaking

The actress on starring in Ridley Scott’s biopic, how The Crown changed her life and whether she’s taking a lead role in Marvel’s Fantastic Four

[...]

As for the future, it's been reported that Kirby has nudged Margot Robbie out of pole position for the role of Sue Storm in Marvel's highly anticipated Fantastic Four reboot. When I ask her about it she says, "Humm," and pauses for 11 seconds before saying, very carefully: "Sue Storm is the OG. The Fantastic Four were the first ones, from 1961, so there's something amazing about that history, and I would absolutely love it."

Elle a un nom de famille qui s’y prête particulièrement.

Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, et Joseph Quinn seront Les 4 Fantastiques !
Sortie prévue pour le 25 juillet 2025.

Pas de réelles surprises au niveau du casting, mais vraiment hâte de regarder ce film !

Julia Garner, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich et Ralph Ineson rejoignent le casting.
Julia Garner incarnera le Surfeur d'Argent et Ralph Ineson sera Galactus. Les rôles des deux autres sont inconnus.

‘Fantastic Four’ Casts Ralph Ineson as Galactus (Exclusive)

The actor, known for genre work such as 'The Witch' and 'Game of Thrones,' is in talks to play a (very) big bad for Marvel Studios.

The Fantastic Four, meet your villain.

Ralph Ineson, the British actor whose three-decade career ranges from the Harry Potter movies to recent horror prequel The First Omen, has landed the plum part of Galactus, the antagonist in Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four.

The high-profile, big-budget outing, the Fantastic Four’s first under the Marvel Cinematic Universe umbrella, has been casting up in recent weeks ahead of a planned mid-summer shoot in England.

On the call sheet are Perdro Pascal as scientist Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as her hot-heated brother Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richards’ friend with body issues, Ben Grimm/The Thing. Also cast are Julia Garner as a female Silver Surfer and Paul Walter Hauser in an undisclosed role, which some have theorized could be Mole Man or the robot H.E.R.B.I.E. John Malkovich is also signed on.

Ineson is said to be playing Galactus, an intergalactic being who eats the life force of planets. And now he just picked the wrong planet to nosh on.

In the Marvel comics, Galactus, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, has appeared as a towering human-like figure. The character made his big screen debut in 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, which portrayed him in the form of a CGI-generated cosmic cloud. It was an appearance that did not go well with audiences.

Matt Shakman is directing the new Fantastic Four feature, which has Marvel taking the interesting creative choice of setting the story in the 1960s, the era when the super-team was first created. Eric Pearson, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer wrote the screenplay. Peter Cameron (WandaVision) has also done some writing on the project.

Ineson is currently on screens as a priest in 20th Century’s The First Omen and last year played a key role in Gareth Edwards’ The Creator. He previously had a role in Robert Eggers’ Viking drama The Northman and reteams with the filmmaker, with whom he first worked on acclaimed horror movie The Witch, for vampire thriller Nosferatu, whose A-list cast includes Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Bill Skarsgard and Willem Dafoe. Focus releases Nosferatu in December.. He is currently in production on Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein along with Jacob Elordi, Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz.

Ineson is repped by Gersh and Gordon and French.
