Earlier this year, Fox appointed director Josh Trank (Chronicle) to helm the reboot, with up-and-coming writer Jeremy Slater tackling the screenplay and Mark Millar serving as creative consultant. Of course, with the film still some three plus years away from release, it may be some time before we get any news about who will step in to replace Fantastic Four and Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer stars Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis as Marvel's First Family, although you can bet the rumour mill will kick into overdrive now that the film has an official ETA.
Before the Fantastic Four return to screens, Fox has two X-Men offerings set for release, with Hugh Jackman headlining The Wolverine on July 25th, 2013 and Bryan Singer returning to the franchise he launched back in 2000 to direct X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is due on July 18th, 2014.
