Marvel Studios has launched ‘The Official Marvel Podcast,’ a new weekly podcast dedicated to all things MCU. In the first episode, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, arguably the most important figure in the company, shared exciting details about upcoming projects.
Feige revealed that ‘The Fantastic Four,’ starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, will begin filming shortly after Comic-Con 2024. He confirmed that the film will be a period piece, hinting at a setting different from the modern New York we know.
“Our director, Matt Shakman, has already moved to London, and we start filming at the end of July. Funny story, we start shooting the Monday after Comic-Con,” Feige said on the podcast. “We start filming the day after on ‘Fantastic Four.'”
Feige also teased ‘Deadpool & Wolverine,’ the next entry in the MCU. Ryan Reynolds’s Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine will team up on a mission involving the Time Variance Authority (TVA) from ‘Loki’. Feige hinted that this might not be the last time we see Deadpool and Wolverine interacting with other MCU properties.
“Seeing them interact with TVA agents, and people familiar with that organization from ‘Loki’ season 1 and season 2 is a thrill. The combination of all those different worlds and all those different flavors, and perhaps even a few more that people won’t know about until they see the movie, is a thrill,” Feige added. “It’s very exciting how we can see continue with the same actors in new incarnations, which is great, and I think is a peek into the future as we continue to bring these comic book stories to life.”
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ is set to premiere in theaters on July 26, 2024, with ‘The Fantastic Four’ following on July 25, 2025.
