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 60sso 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 e Joseph Quinnengaged in a parallel reality of the 60s. Kevin Feige also commented on the investigative skills of the fans who immediately picked up the clue in the promotional poster of the film:
A lot of astute people have noticed that the cityscape in the poster doesn’t actually look like the New York we know today, or that existed in our world in the 1960s. Those are smart observations, I would say. I’m incredibly excited about what we’re doing, because I think these characters are legendary pillars of the Marvel universe that we haven’t really had a chance to engage with or explore in any meaningful way outside of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
