The MCU’s Fantastic Four Sequel Takes a Blow Before it’s Even Officially Announced

Director Matt Shakman may not be back to direct the next Fantastic Four movie. According to Deadline, he’s committed to a new Planet of the Apes film for 20th Century Studios. This won’t continue the story from the 2024 film Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes; it’s a fresh take on the franchise. While Deadline didn’t confirm how this affects the Fantastic Four sequel, it seems unlikely Shakman will be able to direct both unless Marvel delays the second Fantastic Four film for a few years.
