It seems like a dig at 20th Century Fox for not being able to successfully bring the Fantastic Four to the big screen. But Marvel Studios' head Kevin Feige also seems like he's making a promise to fans who have been clamoring for the longest time to see these heroes get an MCU treatment. While speaking to Variety at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Feige answered when asked about their plans for the characters, "All of that is spoilers, but I'm extremely excited about those characters, and about bringing Marvel's first family up to the sort of platform and level they deserve." Feige didn't specifically say when we can expect a Fantastic Four film (or maybe even series), but just acknowledging it now makes us excited.

HBO teases its upcoming ‘Watchmen’ series

Don’t expect it to be a direct adaptation of Alan Moore’s classic 1986 graphic novel or even Zack Synder’s 2009 film version. Damon Lindelof’s version of Watchmen will take place in the same world. It won’t be a sequel though. He likens it to being the New Testament to the original twelve issues being the Old Testament. But from the trailer that was shown at San Diego Comic-Con, it looks like we’ll see some familiar faces. Rorschach appears alongside new costumed heroes. There will be references to previous vigilante fighters that longtime fans of the series will recognize. Watchmen will be premiering in October, and it is setting itself up to be the next big thing from HBO.
