While Hollywood was already witnessing the WGA Writer’s Strike, the actors also felt the need to revolt and joining the writers with the SAG-AFTRA Strike; they have brought the industry to an almost standstill. We saw the Oppenheimer cast literally abandon the premiere of this year’s biggest movie to join the strike. Many movies are going to suffer, and one that probably is facing one of the biggest blows is a Marvel Cinematic Universe flick. No, it isn’t Deadpool 3, but Fantastic Four Reboot that has now relapsed to point zero after months of casting process.
It was around the same time MCU confirmed the presence of Multiverse, when Kevin Feige took the top stage to announce that they are bringing the first Marvel family back with Fantastic Four Reboot. The movie was only possible because of the multiverse gates being open and the studio was busy finding the perfect stars to play the most veteran and iconic MCU superheroes.

The reason behind scrapping the plan is said to be the SAG-AFTRA Strike. According to the new guidelines of, the strike restricts actors from making deals about joining the cast at the Marvel studios. While James Gunn was smart enough to announce most of Superman: Legacy casting right before the strike, Kevin Feige couldn’t live up to the pace. Which means, that it will take months for Fantastic Four Reboot to get back on track.
