Italian production designer Dante Ferretti is supposedly working on Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four, Geek Vibes Nation has revealed. The report comes a month after confirmation that Avatar: The Way of Water writer Josh Friedman had replaced the previous team of Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer.

First entering the scene at the end of the 1960s with the film Medea, Ferretti had an extensive run of being a production designer between the 1970s and 2000s, on films such as Beach House, Ginger and Fred, and La Traviata. Along with the many Italian films, he has been known to work with American directors such as Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton.

This Could Be The Future Of The MCU According To Comic Books

Little is known about Fantastic Four at present, other than the fact it will begin shooting early in 2024 for a release early in 2025. However, big things are expected of it when it opens Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Kevin Feige saying that the dysfunctional superhero family will be “a big pillar of the MCU going forward, just the way they’ve been in the comics for 50 or 60 years.”

The many details surrounding Fantastic Four are unlikely to be revealed any time soon, with many projects of Phase Five of the MCU still to come. The most recent of those projects is Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, which releases in theatres last week.
