Fantastic Four to finally enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe
The Marvel Cinematic Universe was launched in 1961 with the publication of Fantastic Four by creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Reed Richards/ Mr. Fantastic, Susan Storm/ Invisible Girl, Johnny Storm/ Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/ The Thing made up the squad. On an unauthorized space mission, the team was exposed to cosmic rays, which changed them and gave them superhuman abilities.
Roger Corman created a Fantastic Four film in the 1990s, but it never made its way into theaters. Instead, Fantastic Four was released on the big screen by 20th Century Fox in 2005, and a sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, was released in 2007. After several years of poorly received film adaptations, the Fantastic Four will finally join the MCU thanks to Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
The MCU’s Fantastic Four is slated to release on February 14, 2025, and it will be the second film in Marvel’s Phase 6, which will bring The Multiverse Saga to an end.
