Rumor Debunked Fantastic Four Movie Rights Not Back With Marvel Studios

Rumor Debunked: ‘Fantastic Four’ Movie Rights Not Back With Marvel Studios

Ponder the new Fantastic Four movie rights rumor after the jump.

Although we’re not buying this rumor quite yet, it is worth considering, especially since Marvel and Sony managed to reach a deal that will see Spider-Man enter the MCU. Plus, Marvel’s new schedule does have a handful of untitled films hanging out in the early ’20s. The Fantastic Four may get to chill out alongside the Avengers after all. Better late than never. Maybe they’ll finally get Doctor Doom right.

Update: io9 is reporting, via their own sources, that this story isn’t true. If Marvel is getting the Fantastic Four back, it’s not happening today. For all we know, there is a plan in place and Marvel Studios does want these characters in one of their 2020 release dates, but no actual deal has been made and everything is staying as it is for now.
