A compelling MCU theory for The Fantastic Four suggests how Marvel’s First Family can make the jump from the 1960s to the modern-era. With Marvel Studios confirming the official cast along with new artwork on Valentine’s Day, various clues and references suggest that the Fantastic Four’s story will initially be set in the 60s. However, there’s already a perfect way for the superpowered family to interact with the MCU’s heroes in the present.
The Fantastic Four’s cast includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards’s Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm’s Invisible Woman, Joeseph Quinn as Johnny Storm’s Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm aka The Thing. Marvel’s casting announcement also came with artwork featuring the actors in their respective roles while also teasing the film’s earlier setting.
