After years of work, a new one Fantastic four movie finally returns to the big screen, with Marvel Studios getting their chance to make their mark on the franchise. In the director’s chair Fantastic four will be Matt Shakman, who previously directed Marvel’s WandaVision Disney+ series, but also projects such as Game of Thrones And It’s always sunny in Philadelphia. Shortly after it became known that Shakman was involved with Fantastic Four, it was announced that he would step down as director of Paramount’s fourth Star Trek to film in a new interview with The coverShakman explained why.
“I’ve really enjoyed working on ‘Star Trek’ for a little over a year, working closely with JJ Abrams and everyone at Paramount, and I love that franchise, and I love that cast that JJ put together, and it would be It’s been an incredible pleasure working with them on the fourth installment there,” Shakman revealed. “But movies have different journeys and dynamics and schedules are a little bit mercurial, and so when the ‘Fantastic Four’ opportunity came along, it was just too hard to pass up and go back to Marvel, a place that I worked on “WandaVision” at, with those people who are great collaborators. It’s really a family there and to be able to go back and do something that I really love and they’re very similar in some ways, they both launched in the ’60s at the same time they’re both about optimism and looking to the stars and technology can solve anything and they’re also about family — the family you have, the family you make so they’re aligned in a lot of ways and speak to my heart and right, so I’m excited to be working on ‘Fantastic Four’.”
