Kevin Feige Stresses The MCU Has No Plans For The Fantastic Four

After Marvel made its landmark deal with Sony, there were those who thought that a deal with FOX may not be far behind. That hasn't turned out to be the case, and at least for the Fantastic Four, it doesn't seem to even be on the docket.

Marvel Studios Chief Kevin Feige recently spoke to AlloCine (via Newsarama) about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where the Fantastic Four happened to come up. The bad news is it doesn't seem to be on their radar, as Feige said "[We have] no plans with the Fantastic Four right now. No discussions about it."

Fantastic Four has received three films since being owned by FOX, and while the first movie showed promise, the second film didn't deliver on the potential. It was then relaunched with an all new cast and director, but internal issues plagued the project. It released to abysmal reviews, and only brought in over $167 million worldwide.

There is supposedly a sequel in development at FOX, but no details have been released.

Up next for Marvel is Spider-Man: Homecoming, and you can find the official synopsis below.

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.

The cast includes Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr. It also includes Jon Favreau, Martin Starr, Kenneth Choi, Michael Mando, Selenis Leyva, Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg, Jr., JJ Totah, and Hannibal Buress.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is in theaters now. Spider-Man: Homecoming lands on July 7, 2017, followed by Thor: Ragnarok on November 3, 2017. After that Black Panther debuts on February 16, 2018, while Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters on May 4, 2018. Ant-Man and the Wasp is slated for July 6, 2018, followed by Captain Marvel on March 8, 2019.
