After[]

After the film flopped at the box office, the sequel was cancelled. However, if a sequel were to be released, it would be filmed with a bigger budget, with the same cast but a new director. The film would also have a lot of humor and plenty of action when the superhero team discover that Doom had made a deal with Galactus to destroy Earth. On August 23, 2016, Actors Miles Teller and Kate Mara had expressed interest in starring in the sequel, while screenwriter Simon Kinberg is hoping to get the project made. In September 2015, Tommy Wiseau has expressed enthusiasm in directing a sequel, having personal admiration for the film.

In November 2015, the sequel was removed from Fox's release schedule.[4] In May 2016, Kinberg reaffirmed his intent to make another Fantastic Four film with the same cast.[5] Later that month, Toby Kebbell stated he had no interest in reprising his role as Dr. Doom if a sequel were to happen.[6] Both Miles Teller and Kate Mara said that they were open to returning for a sequel.[7] On February 24, 2017, when asked by Collider whether they would make another Fantastic Four movie, Kinberg stated "I have no idea. I think the truth is we would not do another Fantastic Four movie until it was ready to be made. One of the lessons we learned on that movie is we want to make sure to get it 100% right, because we will not get another chance with the fans".[8] On March 1, 2017, Kebbell told Hey U Guys that he would like to portrayed Doom again only if Marvel buys the rights.[9][10] Stan Lee (co-creator of the Fantastic Four) also expressed interest in the Fantastic Four, as well as the X-Men, returning to Marvel Studios stating, "We should have all of our characters under Marvel. Remind me on my way home to do something about that. We'll do our best."[11] However, Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, has stated that there is no plans in having the Fantastic Four into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for now.[12][13]

In June 2017, Bleeding Cool reports 20th Century Fox has Seth Grahame-Smith working on a new treatment for the reboot that be a kid-friendly movie that's similar in concept to The Incredibles and that the new story will be told through the eyes of Mister Fantastic's and the Invisible Woman's children, Franklin and Valeria Richards.[14] While promoting his new film Kingsman: The Golden Circle, director Matthew Vaughn has talked about directing a reboot of the film on apologize to everyone for the last film.[15]
