If the director of 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:Doctor Strange could reach into the mire of licensing deals and extract just one character for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he wouldn't do it. He'd pick Four. Scott Derrickson 🌳told that it's high time theš„¹ Fantastic Four found proper cinematic footing among their many comic book comrades.

"My answer is this: I still have hope that Fantastic Four can be ą²žproperly brought into the MCU because a lot of Doctor Strange – thašŸ’–t’s the comment I read the most during that," Derrickson explained. "I love those characters and I think that they still deserve another shot at finding a true home in the MCU. I still have hope for that. That’s my honest answer.”

The Fantastic Four were the first comic book collaboration of Marvel masterminds Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and they've been a cornerstone of the comics universe ever since. Their cinematic career has been less Fantastic, even if you don't count the ultra-low-budget canceled 1994 film. The 2005 Fantastic Four film and its 2007 sequel, Rise of the Silver Surfer, are harmless at best. We don't talk about the 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:Fantastic Four movie that came out in 2015.

Even if you don't care aš’bout the endless team-up possibilities, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has a generally high bar for quality. It would be nice to see a Fantastic Four movie that doesn't suck sometime before the sun explodes, bathing us all in cosmic radiation that gives us superpowers for a brief few moments before we're vaporized. But then again, there are plenty of other superhero groups that - licensing or other concerns aside - could use an introduction to the MCU proper as well…

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother🐻 to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff wršŸøiter here at GamesRadar.
