Marvel: Has Fantastic Four Found Its Director?

Is the suspense surrounding The Fantastic 4 coming to an end? In the absence of translators, Marvel characters now have an arrival date in the MCU (November 6, 2024). And maybe a director. Deadline announces that Matt Shakman is in talks with the studio to fill the position vacated by Jon Watts.

However, he told himself that satisfied with the experience of Doctor Strange in the many universes of madness, Kevin Feige wanted to call a director of the caliber of Sam Raimi. And the completely unbelievable rumor (and also quickly denied) was even about Steven Spielberg. But Marvel finally called the director out of the house, because it’s Matt Shakman we owe every episode of WandaVision to.

Television, which is also the director’s favorite playground, owes us one feature film (Cut Bank, in 2014) versus multiple episodes of a series. He actually took part in New Girl, Succession, Dr. House, The Good Wife, The Boys or even Game of Thrones (season 7 episodes 4 and 5), making him the second MCU director to cross Westeros. After Alan Taylor (Thor – The Dark World).

At the moment, the case is not over. But Paramount recently announced that Matt Shackman will be stepping down from the next Star Trek helm due to scheduling conflicts, which seems like a good sign. And with Marvel Studios scheduled to shine during D23 on September 10, all indications are that confirmation will come soon.
