Last Valentine’s Day, Marvel Studios finally confirmed the protagonists of ‘Fantastic Four’ with a first image in the form of an illustration. Was the first official look we got of the film (and the only one so far, except for another Human Torch art poster), and of course, it didn’t take long for fans to start coming up with theories.
With this illustration, Marvel also revealed the new logo, which left behind the previous design, blue on a black background and more galactic, to present a decidedly more retro one. This, added to the poster, where we saw the main quartet in a very vintage environment and with nods to the space race, It made me think that the film will take place in the 1960s..
Now, what was practically an open secret has been confirmed: indeed, ‘The Fantastic Four’ is set in the 60s, and It was the boss of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, who confirmed it in an interview for the official Marvel podcast (‘The Official Marvel Podcast’), which premiered with him as an exceptional guest.
Feige participates in the podcast on the occasion of the imminent premiere of ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’, which will land in theaters on July 25. But as always, both the Marvel director and his fans are always looking to the future at the same time, and that is why there was no shortage of exclusives about ‘The Fantastic Four’, which arrives in 2025. In addition to the information about the decade in which it takes place action, Feige has confirmed another detail that has also been theorized a lot: the film takes place in an alternative universe of the MCU. That is to say, These Fantastic Four would not be the ones from the Avengers universe that we know.
