Fantastic Four director Matt Shakman has revealed that the MCU's take on the first family won't be another origin story.
"One of the things we decided early on was not to do an origin story," Shakman told EW at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. "One of the ways we're making it our own thing is we're not telling the story of them going up and being changed, and starting our story [there]. There's a lot of well-known narrative that leads into that moment, right? And then you're making up your new story starting basically at the end of the first act, and we thought, 'Well, let's just start this thing off on a completely new foot. So we are beginning after that.'"
