Fantastic Four: The First Steps director unveils the movie's retro-futuristic space suits and practical sets: "I really wanted it to feel like it was made in 1965, the way Stanley Kubrick would have made it"

There's a new look at Fantastic Four: The First Steps - and it's giving Marvel meets 2001: A Space Odyssey.

"I really wanted to go with as grounded a version of space as possible," director Matt Shakman told Empire. "So, no wormholes. Their tech is very much retro-future, but it's also booster rockets. It’s a combination of Marvel and Apollo 11. I really wanted it to feel like it was made in 1965, the way Stanley Kubrick would have made it. Within reason." It's worth noting that the movie itself takes place in the 60s (shortly after the JFK assassination to be exact), though we know the team will make their way to the present-day (thanks in part to that Avengers: Doomsday announcement).
