The clues have been there all along

Rumors surrounding the upcoming film centered on the Fantastic Four have been going strong for several years, and even more so since the casting of the 2025 feature film was revealed last February. It was with a stylized poster that we learned on February 14, 2024 that Pedro Pascal would take on the role of Mr Fantasticwith at his side Vanessa Kirby in the skin of the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn inasmuch as Human TorchAnd Ebon Moss-Bachrachwho will lend his “features” to The thing. A 4-star cast for a film eagerly awaited by fans of the universe Marvelespecially after the appearance of an alternative version of Mr Fantastic In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

The style of this first poster had already alerted fans, for whom the aesthetic presented was not trivial, and could well refer to the historical context of this new film. This hypothesis seemed all the more valid with the publication of a new poster featuring the Torch in April 2024, on a New York setting at odds with the one we know today. This poster was even accompanied by a dedicated site highlighting the comics that inspired the scenario of the 2025 film, all published during a very specific period…

The Fantastic Four will be eaten in a 60's style

This period is that of 60swhich coincides with the silver age of comics (Silver Age of Comics in English), and in particular with a particular enemy of Fantastic Four : the terrible Galactuswhich will be performed by Ralph Ineson. It was also during the very first episode of The Official Marvel Podcast (which you can find at this address) that Kevin Feige confirmed that the film The Fantastic Four will take place during this period, and that filming will begin at the end of July 2024. However, even if it is a “period film”, that does not necessarily mean that it is part of the main universe timeline Marvelwhich could explain the decors of the poster revealed a little higher, which do not totally correspond to those that we found in our world at this period.

Kevin Feige confirms that “Fantastic Four” is a period film set in the 1960s.

It also suggests that the film takes place in an alternate universe of the MCU.

This theory of an alternative universe would then join that imagined by certain fans during the announcement of the casting of Julia Garner in the role of Silver Surfer, which would therefore represent an alternative version of this character. This hypothesis is all the more supported by the name of the character, which is Shalla-Bal and not Norrin Radd. In the 616 universe of comics, Shalla-Bal is the partner of Silver Surferbut she does not possess the same powers as him. However, she acquires similar powers in an alternate universe, that of the Earth-9997where she also takes on the role Herald of Galactuswhich could make the link with the multiverse established by the MCU in recent years.
