Fantastic Four may have been panned left and right by critics, but moviegoers still came out in droves, making it a $150+ million smash hit for 20th Century Fox. Thanks to the set-for-world-domination website MySpace, details of the sequel have been leaked by director Tim Story.
Story writes, ”I've been going crazy prepping this thing. Just got back from Vancouver, which is of course where we will be filming the movie, and things are shaping up. It's the hard part of the phase where I have to make the ..'s work. Even with 100+ mil, there's never enough money. Looking at the plan for the new Baxter Building interior and it's going to be hot. We're going more high tech and we're giving Reed Richards and the gang more gadgets this time around. The '4' logo will be everywhere as we are used to seeing it. They are a corporation now.”
He continues, ”I'm going to use some looks that have been inspired from more recent comics, like in "The Ultimate Extinction" and a little from the "Ultimate Fan Four" series. I know what you're thinking "Kirby, Kirby, Kirby!" There will be much props given to Kirby throughout the movie. What I'm really excited about is the Fantasticar. It's coming guys in all it's glory. Wait until you see it. It's going to split in pieces and all that. Johnny and Ben fight over who should fly it. All the fun you expect.”
