Jeremy Slater, who co-wrote 2015’s Fantastic Four, is openly expressing his enthusiasm for how Marvel has approached the new film featuring the “First Family.”
In a conversation with Comic Book, he stated, “I’m excited. I like the fact that they are taking a big creative swing. They are telling a multiverse story, with a different world and a different set of heroes.”
The writer further remarked, “It looks like they are bringing them in collision with our Marvel Cinematic Universe. I think that is a smart angle. I think they are getting Galactus right.”
Continuing to laud the filmmakers’ portrayal of Galactus, he added, “I wanted to make him our big bad, and there was some internal pushback.”
“First, he was our big bad. Then, he was just going to appear in one scene. Then, he was only appearing in the post-credits scene. Coming off the Galactus cloud from [2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer].”
The writer also shared, “I was one of those fanboys probably bitching on Ain’t It Cool News back then about how he was a ***** cloud.”
Jeremy noted, “I was excited to bring back a classic Galactus and have that Jack Kirby design. It looked like they’ve accomplished that, so I can’t wait to see him in real life.”
Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to premiere in cinemas on July 25.
