The Film is Set in the 1960s
Though the plot has not been officially revealed by Marvel Studios, it is known that The Fantastic Four will be set in the 1960s. The film will once again focus on a group of heroes from space who got exposed to cosmic rays, but instead of dying, ended up getting superpowers. At the same time, since the lore is already widely known, the makers might introduce a twist to the story. It is expected that the four will be going against Galactus, and it might also set the stage for the future films of the MCU. Matt Shakman, who directed the series WandaVision, is going to helm The Fantastic Four.
