Who wrote the new Fantastic 4?

Excitement is brewing for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) installment, “Fantastic Four,” but who’s behind the scenes shaping this superhero saga?

While the official writing credits remain a mystery, some key players have emerged.

Screenwriting duties are reportedly helmed by Josh Friedman and Jeff Kaplan. Friedman, known for his superhero prowess with credits on “War of the Worlds” and “The Wolfman,” was an early attaché to the project. Kaplan, recognized for his TV work on “Grimm” and “Star Trek: Discovery,” likely joined the team later on.

The story is rooted in the genius of Stan Lee, the legendary creator behind the original “Fantastic Four” comics. Despite his passing in 2018, Lee’s enduring legacy ensures his rightful place in the film’s narrative foundation.

Guiding the directorial helm is Matt Shakman, whose imaginative touch from “WandaVision” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” promises a fresh cinematic perspective.

While Friedman and Kaplan appear as the primary pens behind the script, the collaborative nature of filmmaking suggests a tapestry woven by multiple hands.

With twists, turns, and uncredited contributions, the final product may surprise even the most avid fans.

As the countdown to July 25, 2025, begins, anticipation mounts to see the fantastic fruits of this creative collaboration on the big screen.
