Josh Friedman , who has worked on films such as Avatar: Running Water and series such as Snowpiercer , has been tapped to rewrite the screenplay for the Marvel film Fantastic Four .
The first version of the script is the work of Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer , but apparently the production is looking for a change of tone for the project, which does not currently have a cast.
Directing
Fantastic Four was in the hands of Jon Watts , but the director of Spider-Man: Homecoming and its sequels has decided to give up to take a break from superhero films. Matt Shakman – the same as WandaVision – seemed the ideal replacement in the eyes of Kevin Feige , who already trusts him, and therefore will entrust him with the production without having to supervise it personally (as he did with Sam Raimi for Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness ).
