Marvel’s Fantastic Four Reboot Already Getting a Sequel

by

According to Variety, Marvel Studios is reportedly working on a sequel for the first film of Phase 6, tentatively titled “in development.” After wrapping up Phase 5 with “Thunderbolts” in May, Marvel Studios plans to kick off Phase 6 in July with “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” a highly anticipated reboot. This will be followed by “Spider-Man: Fresh Start,” “Avengers: Endgame,” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.” Additionally, there may be another MCU movie in the works that could complete the Multiverse Saga.

According to Variety’s recent report, it appears that Marvel Studios has set a release date for a new MCU film on December 15, 2028. Among the projects in development that could potentially be released then is a sequel to “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”. This announcement underscores Marvel Studio’s confidence in their first movie of Phase 6, which is scheduled for release on July 25, 2025.

Following two previous attempts by Fox to portray Marvel’s original family, the MCU is optimistic about success with a fresh cast in their 2025 reboot. The new lineup features Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Mass Bachrach as Ben Grimm.

Audience members will encounter the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest quartet of heroes when the movie “The Fantastic Four: First Footsteps” premieres in cinemas on July 25th. At this point, it is uncertain if a follow-up film might be released, but Variety speculates that one of the undisclosed dates in 2028 could be chosen for its debut.

From my perspective as a movie enthusiast, the tentative release dates for “The Fantastic Four 2” are slated for February 18, 2028 (for those keeping track), May 5, 2028, November 10, 2028, and December 15, 2028. However, it’s important to note that these dates are merely placeholders at this point. The actual release will hinge on the success of the initial film, the pace of sequel development, and the availability of our talented cast members. So, while we eagerly await the next chapter in the Fantastic Four saga, let’s keep our fingers crossed for a timely arrival!

The Fantastic Four 2 Might Be Very Different – Here’s Why

Fans have recently expressed some amusement towards Marvel Studios due to the lengthy gaps between sequels for popular films. For example, over four years have passed since the release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, with no indication of a follow-up in the near future. Despite generating positive responses during the pandemic, it seems that a sequel may not be on the horizon anytime soon.

Since the Marvel’s First Family is among their most beloved superheroes and their MCU debut promises a blockbuster hit, it makes sense to begin preparations for a sequel early to reduce the wait time. However, it’s premature to predict if it might secure one of the studio’s four undisclosed 2028 release dates at this point.

In a revamped 1960s-style world reminiscent of an alternate reality, the storyline for The Fantastic Four unfolds. Prior to their arrival on Earth-616 during Avengers: Doomsday, this team is initially established. As the Multiverse Saga is expected to culminate with the Fantastic Four sharing the same universe as the MCU’s primary superheroes, the upcoming sequel could introduce some significant alterations.

Primarily, it’s expected that the Fantastic Four will share the same universe with both the Avengers and the revamped X-Men squad. This could potentially lead to an intriguing tale where the Fantastic Four find themselves out of their element, having lost their fame, and navigating a drastically altered world.
