Read from CBR:
A new Marvel Cinematic Universe rumor claims that the reboot of Fantastic Four is casting now.
According to @MyTimeToShineH on Twitter, who has been a steady source of legitimate Marvel Studios leaks in recent months, casting has now begun for Fantastic Four. The film will be Jon Watts' next movie, meaning the Spider-Man: No Way Home director will jump from one MCU project to another.
While it's been assumed that the Fantastic Four would make their MCU debut after Walt Disney Studios bought 20th Century Fox and acquired the catalog of characters, it wasn't until Dec. 2020 when the film gained Watts as director and word emerged that it would occur in the current fourth phase of the MCU. Interestingly, Ant-Man franchise director Peyton Reed has long wanted to tackle Marvel's First Family, but it seems the film studio was more interested in the man behind the latest Spider-Man trilogy.
Though the reboot has a director, it's unclear who will tackle the script and what stage the film is actually at. But if the new rumor is true, it seems things are moving forward. Going along with the rumor, another broke in Oct. 2021 that claimed Thunderbolts and Nova films are in the works. That same rumor also claimed Fantastic Four will go into production in 2023, which lines up with the movie currently seeking leads.
