Has a Fantastic Four Film Actually Been Confirmed?

Something has been bugging me since the big announcements at SDCC in July, and I expected some clarification fairly shortly after if not at D23, but as far as I'm aware, there's been nothing.

Everyone seems to have accepted that there is an MCU Fantastic Four film happening. But has this actually been confirmed?

Months ago, sure, there was a rumour that a Peyton Reed Fantastic Four film was looking at a c. 2022 release. A rumour.

Then at SDCC, Feige said:

"Now, there's a lot of other stuff we didn't get the chance to talk about today. We, we didn't even mention... that we're making Black Panther 2! Didn't come up. We didn't - we didn't mention the fact that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is coming! We didn't have time to talk about Captain Marvel 2, on the way!

And then, at 1:50 of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlODRwNuPCc&t=110s , you can see that he continues, "I didn't even have time to talk about the Fantastic Four."

Before finishing with, "And there's, and there's - and there's no time left to talk about mutants, and how mutants are coming to the MCU."

It would seem to me that at no point there has Feige actually confirmed a Fantastic Four film, only that the characters are coming to the MCU, the same as what he says about mutants - not a specific film, just that the characters are coming.

Feige later clarified for anyone in doubt that it wasn't a film called "Mutants", just the inclusion/introduction of the "mutants" characters. So I'm wondering if there's some interview where he did a similar thing here, clarifying it does refer to a film.

And while, yes, I imagine it is very likely that if they're introducing the Fantastic Four characters, they will be making a Fantastic Four film, especially with the rumours already existing that they would be.

But I am yet to see an actual direct source confirming the existence of this film, so I was wondering if anyone knows of one? If you do, I'd love to see it just to clear this all up.

Otherwise, have people just been working on assumptions for the past 2½ months?

It’s probably gonna happen but it’s kept under wraps.

Their for sure more easier to introduce then mutants so won’t suprise me if a f4 movie (ore tv-show since Kevin likes to do that) is coming earlier then the x-men but might drop a hint in phase 4 have a charachter appear in phase 5 and a movies in phase 5 ore 6 but we’ll see maybe they save em up

Kevin Feige said that we will be seeing the Fantastic 4. He said “We didn’t even have time to talk about the Fantastic 4” It most likely will happen in some years.

AgentLunar, that's what I've been saying. He said the Fantastic Four are coming. That's a given in this post.

The point being that that doesn't confirm a Fantastic Four film.

Theyve set up the arrival of the Fantastic Four enough, but subtly. The Avengers selling the tower, the quantum realm and the easter egg in far from home. We cant wait to show you whats next

There's been no direct setup for the Fantastic Four, since every film released so far was filmed no later than Summer 2018 (Far from Home being the most recently filmed MCU film that has been released, filming Summer 2018), and the merger didn't go through until March this year. They couldn't start officially planning, let alone putting details in.

The things listed are things that fans have speculated might be later utilised to set up the Fantastic Four, or incorrectly speculated by fans who don't understand the filming and merger timeline to be Fantastic Four Easter eggs.

Avengers Tower being sold could turn out to be anything (especially since they wrote and filmed Homecoming in 2016, way before the merger was even a possibility). It could be Oscorp, could be nothing. Or they could have just been unsure exactly what they'd do with it and since decided, "Hey, we have the Fantastic Four now, why don't we make it the Baxter Building?" But it wasn't in some way the plan, if they do, nor an Easter egg. It would be a decision after the fact.

The building construction sign, for the same reason with the film being shot in 2018, is almost certainly not intended as an Easter egg, unless they sneaked it in because it can't explicitly be read as an Easter egg and they were confident the merger would go through, or they went to the effort of adding it digitally in post. In all likelihood, it's just a normal construction sign. If it IS intended as something, it's more likely a nod to Phase Four coming.

And the Quantum Realm is very much just pure fan speculation. The Quantum Realm is just the Quantum Realm. If it's somehow used regarding the Fantastic Four then they have chosen to do that after the fact and utilise an element they just already have in play.

Shoot the A mark on the top of building several times and you will get a 4.

Especially with the right line of the A being vertical since the A is slanted.

If it’s confirmed, then it should be better than the last one.

What do you think?
