As the film’s script is written, Marvel Studios will reportedly start the casting process for the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot.
The long-awaited Fantastic Four reboot from Marvel Studios is slowly coming together. It was confirmed at D23 earlier this month that WandaVision‘s Matt Shakman would step in for Jon Watts to direct the film. Still, fans were also hoping for a casting announcement with rumors of various actors swirling around before the convention.
Fantastic Four received a new update on Wednesday, with a report from Deadline revealing Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer will write the script. The film appears to be in the early stages of development, targeting a November 8, 2024 release date.
Where Is Marvel at With Casting?
As far as who will play Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Deadline added that there’s “no cast on board” and that “Feige and Shakman now will focus on finding actors while the script is being written.”
This means news of who will play the Fantastic Four in the reboot might not come for a few months as the casting process begins. The recent update might also mean that John Krasinski won’t reprise the role of Reed Richards after appearing in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Here is the synopsis for Marvel Studios’ next film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever:
