Marvel's 'Fantastic Four' Movie Starts Filming Early Next Year Says Director Matt Shakman

It will be a while before fans see Marvel's highly-anticipated iteration of the Fantastic Four, especially after it was delayed all the way to Valentine's Day 2025, but director Matt Shakman was able to give some insight as to when filming starts. Speaking with Collider's own Steve Weintraub for his new Prime Video series The Consultant, the WandaVision helmer revealed that filming on the project kicks off “early next year” and that it'll be his priority going forward.

Shakman has been busy in the lead-up to the return to the MCU's first family. After earning acclaim, and two Emmy nominations, for following Wanda Maximoff in her seemingly-idyllic sitcom world, the director took the reins of Fantastic Four from Jon Watts, though his attention has also been on Apple TV+ and Legendary's untitled Godzilla and the Titans series which he was tapped to helm.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Asked if he plans on directing anything else, Shakman reaffirmed his stance, saying, "I don't think so. You know, I'm still finishing up the Godzilla project you were mentioning. We’re in post on that, and have a few more months on that. Fantastic Four is pretty much my life until Valentine’s Day of 2025.

There's nothing yet on the plot of Fantastic Four either, though things will likely start to fall in place as Phase 6 and the release of the film draw closer. The focus for the MCU right now is Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania which comes out in just over a week on February 17. It should be a crucial step building toward the release of Shakman's film considering the connections to Kang the Conqueror , the main villain Scott Lang will oppose in the upcoming film.

Stay tuned here at Collider for more on Shakman's Fantastic Four and keep an eye out for our full interview with him. Check out the trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania below.

It’s huge af. Too big for 50mm. I thought mirrorless cameras were supposed to lead to smaller lenses? Sigma lenses have always been laughably large but this is just bananas for a 50mm.
