Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, has finally clarified some aspects of the next Fantastic 4 adventure, specifying when and where the film will be set.
THE Fantastic 4 they have finally defined the setting chronology. All thanks to Kevin Feige: the president of Marvel Studios has given some more details regarding the next film being made in Marvel Cinematic Universewhose production is expected to begin by the end of the summer, shortly after San Diego ComicCon. While waiting, Kevin Feige has finally clarified when the film will be set and above all in which universe. An important detail, considering that the MCU is struggling with the Multiverse so the location is not always certain.
Fantastic 4, Kevin Feige confirms the setting of the film
The first poster dedicated to the Fantastic 4 had already provided a juicy clue to fans, a clue promptly expanded and confirmed by Kevin Feige who, in a recent interview, specified that the next chapter will be set in the 1960s, so it will be a period film. And that’s not all. It seems that the four protagonists with superpowers returning to the screen will set their story in a parallel universe compared to the main one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Which should not be alarming, if we consider that the Multiverse has entered its most heated phase whose culmination is expected in Avengers 5, when all these separate universes could collide. Interviewed during an official Marvel podcast, Kevin Feige specified:
We will start filming towards the end of July, the day after San Diego Comic-Con will be the first day of filming Fantastic Four.
The protagonists of the new chapter will be Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach And Joseph Quinn, engaged in a parallel reality of the 1960s. Kevin Feige also commented on the investigative skills of the fans who immediately picked up the clue in the film’s promotional poster:
Many astute people have noticed that that cityscape depicted in the poster did not actually resemble the New York we know today, or that existed in the 1960s of our world. These are intelligent observations, I would say. I’m incredibly excited about what we’re doing, because I think these characters are legendary cornerstones of the Marvel world that we haven’t had a chance to engage with or explore in a meaningful way outside of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
