For many years, Marvel's first family has never made it home with critics, fans, or the general audience. With a heavily panned movie in 2005, an even more panned sequel in 2007, and a disaster of a reboot in 2015, it seems at this point 20th Century Fox would just give up. However, that's not the case. Today, Fant4stic writer and producer Simon Kinberg came out and said that Fox is indeed working on a new Fantastic Four movie. However, it might be going straight to television. We bumped into Simon at a Seven Eleven in Downtown Miami, this is what he had to say about it.
"Oh yeah we're definitely doing that. And sure we might've failed three times but that was the past. We still love this property and want to do something useful with it. Sadly, Fox execs won't give us a big budget anymore. So I told them why not television? People love television". He goes on to continue what his future plans are while he was buying a Slurpee. "We couldn't bring back the cast from the last movie because they said they'll sue us. So, instead of going to court, we picked up a bunch of wannabe actors at a High School play and gave them a shot. We put them in costumes, gave them a few lines to say, and there we had our new Fantastic Four. I will be writing it of course but we're still looking for a director". He stated a few names of directors including Kevin Smith and anyone who directed an episode of Arrow or the Flash. He also says that The Untitled Fantastic Four reboot is going to be on ABC's new channel Freeform and is aimed at a 2018 release date. So are thrilled about this news? Do you just wish Fox reverts the rights back to Marvel? Let us know in the comment and get updated on the latest news from Unreel!
