Filming will take place next year. &#8220;probably the Spring&#8221; at <strong>Pinewood Studios<\/strong> in Iver, England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">With the <strong>WGA<\/strong> strike over, and the <strong>SAG-AFTRA<\/strong> strikes ongoing, Shakman confirms that pre-production has been &#8220;nonstop,&#8221; with crew &#8220;working with the effects and with production design and building our world, and that&#8217;s been incredibly exciting.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4G5Ad0e3Lrg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s different in so many ways,&#8221; he said about the <strong>MCU Phase Six<\/strong> film. &#8220;I wish I could be specific. I wish I could say more. But we are doing things very differently from a story standpoint, from an approach to the filmmaking standpoint, that really fits the material. I wish I could say more. I would love to, but I can&#8217;t. But I think it&#8217;s going to be unlike anything you&#8217;ve seen before, and certainly unlike anything at <strong>Marvel<\/strong> that you&#8217;ve seen before.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Shakman might be alluding to the fact that this <strong>Fantastic Four<\/strong> will be a team out of time, originating from the 60&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">So when can we expect casting announcements? <strong>Vanessa Kirby<\/strong> (Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I) is strongly rumored for the role of <strong>Invisible Woman<\/strong>, a role which will take center stage in the storyline. &#8220;Hard to say,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Like I said, we&#8217;re in the middle of a <strong>SAG<\/strong> strike, and I&#8217;m keeping my fingers crossed that they get a great deal really soon and we can go back. Then, once that&#8217;s resolved, there&#8217;ll be a plan at that point, but I can&#8217;t say too much. There will be an announcement at some point! I know that the internet is very excited to find out, and I&#8217;m excited to share it. I just can&#8217;t do it yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fantastic Four<\/strong> arrives in theaters <strong>May 2, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/fantastic-four-movie-filming-casting-update-director-comments\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/fantastic-four-movie-filming-casting-update-director-comments\/\" target=\"_blank\">Collider<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Curated Superhero Content<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-scripts allow-modals allow-forms allow-same-origin\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=as_ss_li_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=xmenfilmsdo03-20&#038;language=en_US&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=US&#038;placement=B0846LW2LR&#038;asins=B0846LW2LR&#038;linkId=2a3ea97cd8d19ebb6ed1e8550a5c46b4&#038;show_border=false&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Ad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking with Collider, Marvel Studios&#8217; FANTASTIC FOUR director Matt Shakman teased his upcoming film that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":63097,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3,97,215],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantastic-four","category-disney","category-the-super"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/fan-fou-mar-com.jpg?fit=896%2C639&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=63090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63090\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/63097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=63090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=63090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=63090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
