The film is directed by Matt Shakman from a screenplay by Josh Friedman. According to Marvel President Kevin Feige, the Fantastic Four film will not have an origin story. He said (via THR), “A lot of people know this origin story. A lot of people know the basics. How do we take that and bring something that they’ve never seen before?” Feige added, “We’ve set a very high bar for ourselves by bringing that to the screen.“

Kevin Feige on the Importance of the Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

According to Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, the Fantastic Four hold significant importance in the comic book world and has not yet been fully explored within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Feige said, “The Fantastic Four is the foundation for everything that came after in the comics. There’s certainly been versions of it [on screen], but never inhabiting the storytelling of the MCU. And that’s something that is really exciting for us.“

In Marvel Comics, the Fantastic Four team consists of four members: Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards), the Invisible Woman (Susan Storm), the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), and the Thing (Ben Grimm). They got superpowers after being exposed to cosmic rays during a space mission, which granted them extraordinary abilities. Mr. Fantastic gained the power to stretch his body to incredible lengths; the Invisible Woman can render herself and others invisible; the Human Torch can control and generate fire; and the Thing possesses superhuman strength and a durable rocky exterior.

Produced by Kevin Feige, Grant Curtis, and Nick Pepin. Fantastic Four hits theaters on May 2, 2025.
