‘Avengers: Endgame’ Director Thinks Fantastic Four Deserve A ‘Definitive Movie’

Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo think that the Fantastic Four deserve a “definitive movie” with the gold standard Marvel Studios treatment.

The road to success and fame is not always smooth sailing. No one knows this better than Marvel’s first family the Fantastic Four who’s last film outing in 2015 was so maligned that director Josh Trank has yet to make peace with it and takes shots at the studio film any chance he gets. Joe and Anthony Russo, who recently directed Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame, strongly believe that the Fantastic Four deserve another chance at making cinematic history.

This is what Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo had to say about the Fantastic Four getting their own movie in a recent interview with Business Insider.

“Fantastic Four needs a definitive movie at some point.”

Although the Avengers: Endgame directors are excited about the Fantastic Four getting their own movie, they also revealed that they don’t know what Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige’s plans for the team are. This is what Avengers: Endgame co-director Joe Russo also had to say about the Fantastic Four’s secretive arrival.

“We don’t know what Kevin’s plans are. He’s been very specific about just ending the Infinity Saga.”

Although the directing duo doesn’t have plans to direct a Fantastic Four movie, Joe Russo discussed who some of his favorite characters from the comics are.

“I mean, I love Ben Grimm from the Fantastic Four. Doctor Doom was always one of my favorite villains.”
