We think Marvel is trying to tell us something…
This idea isnt new, though.
The Fantastic Four were born from early 60s optimism and Kennedy-era Space Race imagination.
Their upbeat attitudes and gee-whiz science works best in that milieu.
After all, theres a reason thatBrad Birdset his Fantastic Four homageThe Incrediblesin a pseudo-60s.
Of course, that setting raises questions about the FFs inclusion in the MCU.
Or will we have to wait until 2025 before Marvels First Family appears on the big screen again?
Fantastic Four comes to theaters on July 25, 2025.
