Marvel’s First Family are coming back to screens – again. <\/p>
A whole bunch of release date changes have been announced, with Disney pushing back many hotly-anticipated Marvel projects, including the Avengers: Secret Wars, Thunderbolts<\/a>, Deadpool 3<\/a> and <\/span>Fantastic Four.<\/span><\/p>\n According to Variety<\/a>, the delays come largely as a result of Hollywood\u2019s writer\u2019s strike, which <\/span>is having a huge impact on the television and film industries in the US.<\/p>\n However, Marvel\u2019s Fantastic Four certainly looks like it\u2019ll be worth the wait.<\/p>\n Marvel\u2019s first family have had a tough time making the leap to live-action, starting with an infamous \u201990s attempt that almost never saw the light of day, while two more recent efforts have also provoked largely negative reactions from critics and audiences alike.<\/p>\n However, this time, the Richards are in the safe hands of producer Kevin Feige, who has impressively masterminded the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe with very few missteps so far. (Read our\u00a0Marvel movies in order<\/a> guide to learn the best way to watch the whole lot.)<\/p>\n Originally, the movie was going to be directed by Jon Watts who was responsible for the Spider-Man trilogy.<\/p>\n He left the project in April 2022, but there\u2019s nothing sinister about his departure; he needed a break.<\/p>\n \u201cMaking three\u00a0Spider-Man\u00a0films was an incredible and life-changing experience for me. I\u2019m eternally grateful to have been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for seven years,\u201d Watts said in a statement.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m hopeful we\u2019ll work together again and I can\u2019t wait to see the amazing vision for\u00a0Fantastic Four\u00a0brought to life.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s not yet clear who will replace Watts, but in the meantime, read on everything we know so far about the much-anticipated reboot.<\/p> Fantastic Four will be released in cinemas on 2nd May, 2025<\/strong>, three months after its former release date of February 14, 2025.<\/p>\n Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts was slated to direct the film but has stepped down from duties.<\/p>\n In February 2021, Deadline Hollywood reporter Justin Kroll informed Twitter followers that Marvel Studios had only just started meeting with potential writers for the film and that it would be \u201ca while\u201d until it begin shooting.<\/p>\n All I\u2019m gonna say is this, Marvel just started meeting with writers on FANTASTIC FOUR, there is no script and it will be awhile before this film starts shooting<\/p>\u2014 Justin Kroll (@krolljvar) February 21, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>Marvel\u2019s Fantastic Four release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n
