Image
The Fantastic Four has had a rough time during the franchise's tenure in the blockbuster space. While the early 2000s films weren't downright terrible, they weren't amazing for most audiences either. It's the 2015 reboot that did the most damage.  Fan4stic  reimagined the entire story with younger leads, dark and broody undertones, all on top of egregious writing—just look at its critical and fan reception. A few years back, it was announced that the fan-favorite characters would get another lease on life, this time within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Sebastian Stan Comments on the MCU’s Confusing Growth

Image
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to add more heroes and villains into the mix, meaning that more projects are being developed behind the scenes. While the Infinity Saga mainly focused on the big screen, the MCU's Phase 4 is taking it up a notch by expanding onto the small screen, leading to the arrival of Disney+ shows such as WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier .  Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige addressed the so-called overabundance of MCU content, noting that the uniqueness of each Disney+ series prevented such an impression and also saying that he "feels like the audience has responded the way we wanted them to." ADVERTISEMENT However, as the massive superhero franchise expands, many would agree that it might be hard to keep track of the MCU's story. This is on top of the ever-growing cast of characters, the topic of what is and isn't canon to the franchise, and the introduction of the vast Multiverse. ...

Will Sam Raimi Direct Spider-Man 4? New Comments Reveal His Interest In More

Having kick-started his comic book movie career with Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man trilogy, director Sam Raimi will soon return to the genre with  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  this summer. After directing two legendary wall-crawler outings in the early 2000s, his third outing was plagued by studio interference from Sony, leading to a critical flop and Raimi's departure from the planned fourth installment.  With a primary reputation as a horror director, Raimi's interest in the comic book genre doesn't begin with his Spider-Man trilogy. The filmmaker once pitched a Thor film to Fox alongside Stan Lee in the '90s that never saw the light of day. He also once had ambitions in the DC universe after pursuing the  Batman: Forever  directing gig that eventually went to Joel Schumacher. ADVERTISEMENT Just a few months before  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  finally releases, Raimi has revealed his dream comic book p...

Marvel Studios is looking forward to a massive year of content in 2022, which will include the first time any hero has gotten a fourth solo movie with July's Thor: Love and Thunder . Bringing back key recent players like Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie alongside stars of the past such as Natalie Portman's Jane Foster, the sequel looks to take the God of Thunder to new levels of insanity. Chris Hemsworth's story will be first and foremost as he explores new corners of the galaxy and rediscovers his true self after a rough go in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame . However, his adventures will be far from the only ones coming to the forefront thanks to Jane Foster becoming worthy of wielding Mjolnir and Valkyrie finding her own place as the ruler of New Asgard. ADVERTISEMENT Recently, Thompson teased another side of her heroine's story by hinting that she would have some "weird skills" and somewhat "erotic"  ne...
