In the Final Destination report from Variety, the trade mentions Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four reboot is likely the next thing Watts will shoot. Interestingly enough, Fantastic Four still has yet to receive a release date from Marvel Studios, and virtually nothing has been revealed about the project outside the fact it’s something Marvel Studios is actively developing. No writer or cast has been attached to the project yet.
But if it is, in fact, Watts’ next project, it stands to reason the film will begin principal photography sometime this year and be released in late 2023 or early 2024.
When ComicBook.com’s Brandon Davis asked Kevin Feige what fans could expect from the cast, the producer suggested it would likely be a mixture of A-list Hollywood stars and newcomers.
“I think the MCU is a beautiful combination of both (established actors and new faces),” Feige said last year. “I think you look no further than Simu in Shang-Chi, like Chris Hemsworth, like Tom Hiddleston, like Tom Holland, an actor that hadn’t been seen by a tremendous amount of people before, or you have a Benedict stepping into Doctor Strange or Christian Bale stepping into Gor in our Thor film. It is always a beautiful combination of both, and it really is about the search for the best actor for the job whether that actor is known to the world yet or not.”
