Fantastic 4
Now that multi-million dollar movies and streaming services are the preferred way to absorb superhero content, the popularity rankings have shifted dramatically. It’s almost hard to recall a time before Iron Man and Rocket Raccoon were big names, but some former legends have lost some of their iconography. The Fantastic Four is a great example, but they have the chance to return to the top.
Fantastic Four will be the second entry in Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s set to come out in 2025, directed by WandaVision director Matt Shakman. After three tragic attempts to make a movie out of the beloved hero team and over 15 years of hype, the MCU’s efforts will need to be something special.
