  Although I've been aware of this film for some time, I haven't been that interested in the news. The last attempt to develop the Fantastic Four was a disaster.
  
  But Entertainment Weekly has rounded up every piece of information they can find for this article. The URL I'm using leads to a syndicated version of the story on MSN.

  They should have shuttered the MCU after whatever the last Avengers was, and relaunched as separate franchises that don't interact. Fantastic 4, X-Men, Spider-Man. All big enough to stand on their own. In the case of X-Men, it's too big to fully integrate with anything else.
  
  Fantastic 4 has incredible potential, but they're probably the least well known of the big Marvel properties to the general public. A Fantastic 4 vs The Inhumans movie would be awesome, if the effort was put in. A retro vibe would be great, and I've heard some rumors that the new film may be set in the 60s. That could separate it from the MCU enough to give it breathing room, I suppose. I'd like to see something fresh. Give the production to the studio that does Ultraman over in Japan. Give them free reign to do what they want, with the only request being to respect the spirit of the original Stan Lee and Jack Kirby material. What they'd produce would cost a fraction of what a US production would, and would likely blow people's minds. At the very least, it would get people really talking about a Marvel movie again.

  According to IMDB's 2025 Fantastic Four page as it looks today, the called castings for characters are:
  
  Galactus - Ralph Ineson
  Reed Richards - Pedro Pascal
  Sue Storm - Vanessa Kirby
  Johnny Storm - Jospeh Quinn
  Ben Grimm - Eben Moss-Bachrach
  Shalla-Bal - Julia Garner
  
  Other cast members (without character credits so far) include:
  
  Paul Walter Hauser
  John Malkovich
  Natasha Lyonne
  
  Vanessa and Joseph do look like they could be sister and brother, so I kind of get that casting. But they're both older than the characters were when they first appeared in the comic books. Not that comic book ages mean anything, but there's been a fair amount of speculation about how the team will be introduced into the MCU.
  
  There's been a rumor circulating online that their story would begin in the 1960s and then be brought forward (just as Captain Marvel's story began in the 1990s and was brought forward). So it could be - if this is true - that the mature FF will have an encounter (maybe with Galactus?) that causes them to be "lost" for a few decades.
  
  I just don't know if the time travel/retro plot line has been debunked yet.
