One of Marvel’s Most Powerful Characters Is Going to Be in the Upcoming ‘Fantastic Four’ Movie
Producer Kevin Feige is the brains behind and the primary architect of the MCU; his imaginative suggestions and direction helped to form the MCU. That much is known. In a recent interview, Feige provided insightful answers to a number of pressing issues regarding the future of the MCU, as well as his own upcoming projects.
We know that the Fantastic Four movie is one of the most pressing new projects for Marvel as the studio finally wants to get this franchise right; all the attempts so far were, more or less, failures, so Feige really wants to do it right this time, and he is bringing in the big guns as it seems.
We already know the main cast, and we also know that Galactus is going to be the main villain, which also implies that we are going to see a version of the Silver Surfer as well. But, it seems that we have another major scoop for you, as has been confirmed by The Cosmic Circus podcast.
As we have reported earlier, Feige confirmed in an interview that the Fantastic Four movie is one of his priorities, which certainly implies that a lot of attention is going to be given to the movie and that the MCU will do its best:
Jumping off of that, how does it feel to be the person who’s had that connection with “X-Men” and now you’re the one who’s helping bring the X-Men into the MCU proper? Does it feel like a full-circle moment for you?
It does. It also feels like that promise fulfilled for Marvel Studios, to be able to have access to those characters for the first time — and not just the X-Men, [but] the Fantastic Four. It’s great, and it feels like being able to take everything we’ve learned over the years and now apply them to “Fantastic Four,” which we start shooting [this] week, and to the X-Men, starting with “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

In light of that, we are really hoping that the MCU will give us a proper and worthy Fantastic Four film and that the group will be a major part of the MCU going forward. And it seems that the Marvel guys are thinking absolutely the same thing. Namely, if we are to trust the guys from The Cosmic Circus podcast, who discussed the Marvel Studios Hall H Panel at SDCC, we’re in for something major.
The people behind the info are podcast host Brian Kitson, and writers Anthony Flagg and Alex Perez, with the latter being an insider who provided us with a major scoop:
A: But now, now we can transition to the next portion of the show because it’s important to note that the Fantastic Four will return for these next two movies.
B: Yeah, both of them. And in fact, I think they even said, or I should say, I saw tweets that said in the hall, they said that the characters of Captain America, the characters of Fantastic Four and the characters of Thunderbolts are all coming back for both of these.
A: That is correct. The Thunderbolts are expected to come back. I’m… I’m 100% it’s going to be Yelena and Bucky Barnes. I don’t think the others might come back. But Yelena and Bucky Barnes, 100% are going to show up. Cap Four, you have Captain America, you have Joaquin Torres. I don’t think Isaiah Bradley, excuse me, Isaiah Bradley is going to be in, in this one. I don’t think Red Hulk is going to show up in this one either.
But, and then Fantastic Four, you’re 100% getting all four of the, you’re getting all four of the family. You’re going to get Franklin. So, oh yeah, that’s actually a spoiler. Franklin Richards is in Fantastic Four and the Future Foundation. And that’s going to be, the Future Foundation is going to be fun because it’s Fantastic Four is not an origin story per se. It’s like, all right, here’s a little bit of origin story. The Fantastic Four exists and then boom, jump start into the future.
And the Fantastic Four no longer exists and everybody’s just kind of doing their own thing and they only come back when Galactus decides to show up and destroy their world. So, spoilers, hey, but that’s why we’re here. That’s why we’re here. But yeah, Future Foundation is going to be a very, very interesting talk point for this movie in particular for Fantastic Four. And it’s also going to be a very important part of the multiverse. If anyone’s ever read Secret Wars, you know what I’m talking about.
This is a major scoop! As you probably know, Franklin Richards is one of the strongest Marvel characters, and while the movie is probably going to introduce a less powerful version of the character, we’re still in for something great, and this is truly a major scoop.
Of course, this is not an official confirmation – you can listen to the whole podcast on the link above – so take it with a grain of salt, but if it turns out to be true, and it seems it will, we’re in for something amazing.
