The Fantastic Four: the director of the first steps Matt Shakman says that the cut of a director is not “possible”

If you looked at The Fantastic Four: First Steps And he noticed missing scenes that have been present in the trailers, you are not alone. While the film has been largely embraced by the public, some fans have vowel his embarrassing stimulus.

For this reason, fans hoped that a longer cut could be released along the road, perhaps restoring canceled scenes such as the extended space sequence, the fiery descent of Johnny Storm on Earth, John Malkovich Red Ghost or the emotionally loaded exchange between Reed and his. Unfortunately, it seems that it will not happen.

In a recent interview with Elite Daily, director Matt Shakman It was asked directly if the cut of a director of First steps One day he could see the light of the day. His response was short but definitive:

“Not unfortunately there is not so much VFX involved … not possible.”

This confirmation aligns with the typical approach of Marvel Studios. The study rarely releases alternative cuts of its films, opting instead for theatrical versions that adapt perfectly to two hours. While the extended scenes or films canceled occasionally they make their way on the media versions of the house, the completely reworked “director of the director” are practically unheard of Marvel.

Before the release of the film, Shakman has already revealed that John Malkovich’s villain, Red Ghost, had been completely cut. That omission was only the beginning. The fans quickly understood that a number of trailers and television spots were not found anywhere in the finished product.

Despite the finishes, First steps He enjoyed a solid reception in general, with many praised the new interpretation of the first Marvel family. However, it is clear that there was more material that has never arrived on the big screen, and Shakman’s comments suggest that we will not see it, even in an unfinished form.

Starting now, fans will have to make peace with the version we have obtained. It remains to be seen if the eliminated scenes appear on Blu-Ray, but if you hope for a vision of a fully enriched director, it is better to adapt the expectations.
