If there was a Marvel panel title at D23 Expo 2022 that raised more expectations, that was the reboot of ‘The Fantastic Four’, one of the most anticipated by the fandom, especially after a variant of Reed Richards, played by John Krasinski, appeared in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”. The House of Ideas has complied, albeit halfway. Yes, the studio announced it who will be the replacement of Jon Watts in the arrival of the superhero quartet in UCM as director… but nothing has been said about who will play Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and the Thing.
The reboot was one of the first protagonists of the day. After Watts’ departure as project director, the fandom was eagerly waiting to know who would replace him. In the end, the rumors are confirmed and Matt Shakman has taken over as director. Really, it was the most logical step, since the director had been behind the cameras of “Scarlet Witch and Vision” and already, at the end of August, it became known that he had left his position as director of a new episode of ” Star Trek “.
It will be the second directorial job for Shakman, who premiered his debut film, ‘Cut Bank’ in 2014., with Liam Hemsworth, Billy Bob Thornton, Teresa Palmer, Billy Bob Thornton and Michael Stuhlbarg. In addition to directing for Marvel on ‘WandaVision’, he has been behind the scenes in series such as’ Boston Legal ‘,’ Huff ‘,’ One Tree Hill ‘,’ Revenge ‘,’ Fargo ‘,’ The Good Wife ‘,’ The Game of Thrones’ or ‘Succession’, among others.

Marvel keeps the mystery
Sure, Marvel left the fandom with honey on their lips, since it didn’t say anything about its protagonists, which remain a mystery. Despite Krasinski’s good reception, it is not certain that the actor will return, as his character belonged to the Earth-838 universe.
For now, we’ll have to keep waiting to find out who gets into the skin of the superhero family. The reboot is expected to premiere on November 8, thus kicking off Phase 6the last of those recently announced by Kevin Feige of the so-called Multiverse Saga.
