And those are smart observations, Ill say.
We cropped thatsection of the full imageabove.
It certainly looks much, much more futuristic than New York even in the normal MCU 60 years later.
Im incredibly excited for what were doing with The Fantastic Four right now.
And what Matt Shakman, our director who did WandaVision for us, is working on, Feige said.
Hes already moved to London and we start filming at the end of July.
Funny story, we start shooting the Monday after [San Diego] Comic-Con.
The day after Comic-Con is the first day of filming on Fantastic Four.
So, Im extremely excited.
How will that line up with whats happening in the normal Marvel Cinematic Universe?
I guess well have to see The Fantastic Fouron July 25, 2025 to find out.
