Marvel’s Fantastic four reboot movie is still chugging along and the project’s latest update has revealed when we can actually expect cameras to start rolling. In conversation with DeWrapdirector Matt Shakman, who previously helmed Marvel’s WandaVision and lined up to direct Star Trek 4, confirmed that filming on the movie will begin in early 2024.
