There were a lot of big announcements during the Marvel Studios portion of Disney's Investor Day, but it ended with some news we've been waiting a long time for.
The Fantastic Four are finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the reboot is currently in active development at the studio (we even have a logo reveal to prove it). Unfortunately, there's no mention of a cast or release date, but we do now know that Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spider-Man: Far From Home director Jon Watts will be at the helm.
The filmmaker is currently busy working on Spider-Man 3 for Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, and it remains to be seen whether that will set the stage for Marvel's First Family to debut.
It's no secret that Ant-Man director Peyton Reed was keen to work on the Fantastic Four reboot, but Feige and company clearly felt Watts was the right choice to put a fresh spin on the team. It won't be easy to bring moviegoers back to the franchise after three disastrous efforts from Fox, but given his spectacular work on the wall-crawler, Watts feels like the right choice.
