FANTASTIC FOUR Future Foundation Teaser and Why Galactus Needs Franklin Richards

Welcome back everyone, I'm Charlie. Marvel released a new Fantastic Four trailer with plenty of clues about what they're doing for the actual movie. So we'll break it all down. If you are new to the channel, be sure to subscribe. to get all the videos. They're going to adapt a couple of really notable comic book arcs, particularly the arrival of Galactus. He first appeared in the Fantastic Four comics. but there are a couple more details about what's going on with Silver Surfer. The different versions of the Silver Surfer in the movie, the different universes and what's going on between Franklin Richards and Galactus and why it's so important to Galactus.

A lot of people wonder if they would ever make Franklin Richards Inside the Movies. Turns out they're doing it in this first new Fantastic Four movie. There's actually a bit of a connection between the events of Deadpool and Wolverine, what happens in that movie, and what happens in the Fantastic Four movie, mainly the fact that they're multiverse-based movies that they trade a lot with. The trope. I don't expect to see the new Fantastic Four characters in Deadpool and Wolverine. If we see the Fantastic Four in Deadpool and Wolverine, they will most likely be the Fox Marvel versions of the original Fantastic Four movies.

There have already been a couple of

fantastic

Easter eggs we've seen in the movie, but there are a couple different versions of

fantastic

. but a while ago you might have seen Marvel drop the big tease of the

future

Foundation in a bunch of stories they wanted you to read to prepare for the movie, basically telling you what they're going to do next time. Couple of years. There were a lot of theories about them doing the Future Foundation at the end of Spider-Man Far From Home during Marvel's Phase Three, like we're talking about so many years ago at this point, it's been a long time.

You remember all the speculation about who had bought Avengers Tower. There was a

teaser

at the end of the movie that was destined for the fantastic, as it was like one, two, three and invisible to the Invisible Woman. All the different colors of the Fantastic Four characters. We can't wait to show you what's coming next. Basically, the preview of Marvel's Phase Four for the arrival of the fantastic at some point. Like all the things that they just got the rights back to because right before the movie came out, they had just completed, like the actual legal completion of the Disney Fox purchase, which means they got the characters back at Marvel, in which was great for the X-Men characters so they could start developing those movies again.

So many people wonder: What would happen if the Fantastic Four bought Avengers Tower and turned it into the Future Foundation? The funny thing is that we now learned that the Fantastic Four will be a multiverse version. The team will not be the one that actually bought the building. Actually, that will be for the Thunderbolts movie in a more Dark Avengers type of

teaser

. Totally different movie. But supposedly Val will be the person who bought Avengers Tower, and it will be a twist on Dark Avengers, like the dark Avengers parallel. In supposedly early theory, that's what the asterisk in the Thunderbolts title is for, because they will eventually rename the team two Dark Avengers.

In, Val will have purchased the original Avengers Tower, simply moving it. But if you're not a big comic book reader, the reason Marvel would want you to think about the Future Foundation is only because they're a really important group that Reed Richards eventually created in the comics. But it wasn't during the classic comics that they mainly told you to read for the movie. This didn't happen until a little later. Reed Richards became disillusioned with the other scientific organizations on Earth, he felt that they were not doing enough in the operational mission of this new organization he creates, called the Future Foundation, which was to plan a better

future

for all of humanity and the Earth.

Basically, his motto: A better future. Hence the name Fundación Futuro. It eventually became a really big group. But usually when people think of a future

foundation

, they think of Peter Parker, Spider-Man joining the team, getting his white Spider-Man suit, and Doctor Doom joining the team after Valeria and Nathaniel Richards invited him. . Father of Reed Richards. If you're not a big comic reader, the name Nathaniel Richards might pique your interest. Wait a minute, isn't that Kang's original name? that was his original human name that he was born with before he started calling himself Kang the Conqueror in the other variants, he started calling them by their comic book names, practically every variant of Kang in the entire multiverse started life calling him Nathaniel Richards.

The really twisted connection, at least in the comics, is that Reed Richards' father was named Nathaniel Richards and he had a couple different families in different time periods. And Kang comes from one of the other family lines that started in the distant future. so the idea is that Reed, Richards and Kang are loosely related. There was a lot of talk about this when Kang's character was first introduced a couple of years ago during the Loki series. Only because Marvel is veering so hard away from Kang, like we're still making Avengers Five Qing Dynasty, and it seems like they're trying to get over Kang as quickly as possible.

The Council of Kangs So at least now I don't expect them to delve too deeply into the connection between Reed Richards and Kang. but one of the other important connections is the Council of Reeds in the Council of Kangs. So the idea is that the Council of Kangs basically stole the idea of ​​creating a multiverse group from Reed Richards at the Council of Reeds. Most of Kang's technology is actually borrowed or stolen from previous versions. The other Marvel characters created, as well as their time travel technology, began based on Doctor Doom's time travel platform. He just took that and uses advanced technology from the far future to make it better.

So it's not surprising that they came up with the idea of ​​Reed Richards' Council of Reeds and variants of it. Getting all over Galactus to talk about Franklin Richards. Franklin Richards is supposed to appear in the film, but he will be born during the events of the film. They're going to change his origin a little bit, like he's supposed to be born in outer space, but they're supposed to make the connection between him and Galactus. This will be part of a long-running plot that Marvel is just developing in this movie. As if it will turn into something much bigger in future MCU movies.

But in the comics for a long time, Franklin Richards and Galactus have had a long history together. especially since Franklin Richards is so powerful that he is like a top-tier reality. Warper like Beyond Scarlet, whose main ability is to almost create entire universes. That's why some people say he's basically one of the most powerful Marvel characters of all time. It's part of the reason Galactus became so obsessed with him. Like he's afraid of Franklin Richards and Galactus isn't afraid of much of anything. As he grows, Franklin becomes more powerful. Over time, he becomes so powerful that Galactus ends up becoming his herald.

That's what most people tend to think of when they think of Galactus and Franklin Richards together. me. My Galactus. There was even an alternate universe version of Franklin Richards who became a version of Galactus. And when you get to the entire multiverse, many people wonder why they would make this Fantastic Four movie in an alternate universe and not in the MCU. There are a couple of reasons for this, mainly to solve some logical problems, but also so that probably the first theories show what it looks like when Galactus actually destroys the Earth. What they could also do is in Galactus' original story, when he first appeared, they use ultimate nullification fire to make him back away.

We'll use this on you if you don't leave Earth, which you eventually do because it's so powerful. They might end up replacing that idea with Franklin Richards, like, Franklin is the very powerful weapon that he feels like he's afraid of. In general, most of the stories involve Franklin Richards in a big way, like when he becomes a big twist in the story or he goes super crazy. So in the movie, Galactus could sense how critical Franklin Richards is to his future existence. but if you look at this future Foundation trailer, that Marvel release with the comics it asks you to read, notice that it starts with Fantastic Four number one from the 1960s.

That's pretty easy, probably just to give you the basic feel of the team. Also because the movie at least starts with them during this period in the '60s, in their alternate universe. Overall, I think one of the reasons they do it is to make the movie feel very different, like it has a very retro '60s look. I think they're using futurism a lot to, if you remember what their vision of the future in the 60s, this is how things will look in the distant future. This is how it will look in your land. Then they tell you to read the obvious arrival of the Galactus arc, Fantastic Four #48-50, where the Fantastic Four meet the watcher, Uatu, for the first time.

They meet Silver Surfer for the first time. He appears on Earth, he reveals that he is the herald of Galactus, explains that his job is to find energy-rich worlds to feed on, something he then comes to do. One of the fun things about that story too is that Galactus' story actually starts out as an Inhumans story. For those of you who want to see more Inhumans stuff happening within the MCU. I don't know if we'll see any Inhumans happening during this. What is new and fantastic for me is not an alternative universe. They could make all the Inhumans they want without having to trample on the traditional continuity of the main MCU universe.

They kind of did that during Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness, like, oh, here, look, it's Black Bolt in a comic book-exact suit. However, Marvel's version of this Galactus arc from the comics will change a lot. For the movie. They sort of adapted a version of that for the original Fantastic Four movie, Silver Surfer. Plot. If you remember that second movie, basically, the Silver Surfer ends up turning against Galactus and helping the Fantastic Four. Here's how things happened in the original Galactus comic arc. I made a video about this a while ago, but they announced that there was going to be another version of the Silver Surfer from the comics, the shallow ball version from an alternate universe, like the movies in an alternate universe.

So it makes sense that they would have an alternate reality version of the Silver Surfer, who isn't Norton Rad, but apparently there were a couple of people who claimed that Norton Rad would also be in the movie. So Silver Surfer, the original Silver Surfer will also be in the movie in some capacity. The cheerful theory about why they didn't have Norton Rad as Galactus' main herald in this new Fantastic Four movie was so they could save the character for a future MCU movie. Like they wouldn't kill him off in the movie if they were actually going to kill off that Earth in the MCU at the end of the movie.

However, when it comes to Avengers Secret Wars, like this whole multiverse thing, all bets are off. Literally any character can do anything. And because it's multiverse, it's very difficult to pin things down. Overall, though, this all leads to a big reboot at Marvel after Secret Wars. Like simplifying everything in general, Kevin Feige does a little Nip Tuck with all the Marvel movies and all the continuity to simplify it in the future. After this. However, here's the thing. Just because they're rebooting it. Marvel, although some things from before will remain, like some of the new characters they have introduced, they will stay, but they will only change their backstories a little.

So it all makes sense and why everyone has always been on the same Earth all this time. Entering Phase Seven of Marvel. but I think they have a lot of plans for a lot of new Fantastic Four stories and also a lot of new stories based on X-Men mutants. For example, we have X-Men 97. It's really been coming together, like it's actually been a really strong Marvel narrative. Overall, Deadpool and Wolverine are meant to be a showcase of the X-Men doing MCU-related stuff, but I think Marvel Phase Seven in the future will start a mutant saga like, you've probably seen this on the internet for a while. .

All the people who have been making episodes of X-Men 97. Like the writers, the producers have also talked about making some animated films. so everyone let me know in the comments. If Marvel starts making more traditional animated movies, like along the lines of Spider-Verse, not multiverse movies, but just movies animated to look like Spider-Verse animation. If they have access to all their characters like X-Men, Avengers, Fantastic Four, all at the same time,What kind of animated films do you want them to adapt in the future? There are a lot of important things to come. My full video for episode seven of X-Men 97 will be posted next week after they release it.
