Marvel counts on the Avengers to boost the fantastic four 2

The semi-failure of the first-step film has not discouraged the studio, which intends to make a sequel, anyway.

And if The Fantastic Four finally became bankable?

Despite a correct start, First steps did not meet the expectations of the studio, which hoped to seriously break the barrack with Reed Richards and his family. But after two weeks, the observation is clear: less than $ 400 million in revenue. The film will not be a billionaire. And just that is already a failure.

But Marvel does not intend to let go of the case. A recent report by journalist Jeff Sneider (The Insneider) says that the studio has already started the rest – and could even have found its director.

Unsurprisingly, it would be Matt Shakman, already in charge of the first film and the mini-series Wandavisionwhich would take up the post for The Fantastic Four 2.

Nothing official yet, but his return would be “likely“According to Sneider.

If the First steps are laborious, Marvel Table continues to believe in his team and put on a post-Avengers. Because their four heroes from a retro-futureist universe will completely integrate into the MCU with their participation in Avengers: Doomsday And Avengers: Secret Wars. They should play an important role in it (the villain will be doctor doom!) And The Fantastic Four 2 could therefore appear as a logical sequence.

Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, recently praised the launch of this new iteration of Fantastic Fourspeaking of a film that has “managed to introduce an essential franchise in the MCU”even if he does not compete (yet) with the mastodones like Avengers.

Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach will all resume their role in Avengers: Doomsdayin December 2026 in the cinema.
