Fantastic Four, the fictional superhero team featured in the Marvel Comics publication, has appeared in four live-action films since its inception. The plots deal with the four main characters, formally known as Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm, and how they adapt to the superpowers they acquire.
Konstantin Film bought the film rights to the characters in 1986. A low-budget film was produced in 1992 by Roger Corman-owned New Horizon Studios. In 2004, a second Fantastic Four film entered production after Constantine sub-licensed the film rights to 20th Century Fox. Fantastic Four was released in 2005 and the sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was released in 2007. Both films received mixed to negative reviews from critics, yet grossed a combined US$635 million worldwide at the box office. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, a possible third Fantastic Four film and a Silver Surfer spin-off film was canceled due to the disappointment of 20th Century Fox with its box-office return.
A reboot of the series, Fantastic Four, directed by Josh Trank, was released in 2015 and received largely negative reviews from both critics and audiences as well as Trank himself, and became a box office bomb. A sequel was scheduled to be released in 2017, but was cancelled.
In March 2019, Marvel Studios regained the film rights to the Fantastic Four and related characters, along with The X-Men and Deadpool, after Fox was acquired by The Walt Disney Company. A new film featuring the team, part of Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is currently in development for a release scheduled for November 8, 2024.
Following
the acquisition, the Fantastic Four films produced by 20th Century Fox were
rebranded as the "Marvel Legacy" films at Disney along with the
studio's X-Men films, thus separating them from MCU titles produced by Marvel
Studios. Gone.
