The Fantastic Four’s 1960s Time Setting Theory Explained
When Marvel Studios finally made it official who would star in the reboot, an image was released showingThe Fantastic Fourcast through concept art in the MCU. However, a lot of clues in the photo sparked the theory thatThe Fantastic Fourwill be set in the 1960s. Based on some of the props featured in the image, along with the costumes that the characters are donning, the visuals of the impending film have a very 1960s look to them, which would also explain a lot of things about the team’s lacking presence in the present MCU timeline.
There have also been theories that ifThe Fantastic Fouris indeed taking place in the past, that the MCU will somehow bring them into the present through time travel. Another scenario that has been speculated is that not only isThe Fantastic Fourin the past, but a different universe altogether. That would also support the notion of why the Fantastic Four characters have never been mentioned during the present.
AsThe Fantastic Fourwill be starting filming this summer, there are bound to set photos and video clips emerging during the production to indicate more when and where the film takes place in the MCU. If this is indeed a period piece, it will be exciting to see how Marvel Studios will approach the characters from the 1960s, making it stand out from past live-action versions. Hopefully, Marvel Studios will have more news to announce forThe Fantastic Fouras they get ready for principal photography.
