The Fantastic Four will finally and officially join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the summer of 2025 with their first Marvel Studios film, directed by WandaVision’s Matt Shakman. But in Marvel Comics, the Fantastic Four were the cornerstone of the entire universe. They’re basically the comic and the group that launched the entire Silver Age of Marvel Comics.
