Marvel comics and the cinematic universe are known for creating some of the best superhero teams we have ever seen. However, the Fantastic Four was the ‘First Family’ of superheroes in the entire Marvel Universe. The Fantastic Four has seen multiple live-action adaptations. The first one was released in 2005 while a sequel of it was released in 2007. After this, a reboot of the franchise was released in 2015 but sadly, none of these three movies did as well as expected.

What Could Be the Plot of The Fantastic Four?

Not a lot is known about the plot of the Fantastic Four Movie. The movie will be set in the 1960s and is going to skip showing the origin of the team. We will get to see an older Reed Richards and the team will end up fighting off Galactus. The plot details are widely unknown since the teaser shown at the D23 did not reveal much about it either.

However, since Robert Downey Jr. has been cast to play Doctor Doom, there is a possibility that we might get a post-credit scene featuring him but that’s just an assumption. There is still plenty of time for the movie to be released, so let’s wait for the trailers to come out so we can figure out the plot of Fantastic Four. Till then, stay tuned with us for further updates!
