Fantastic Facts:
- Though plenty of MCU movies have been presented in IMAX, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is only the second Marvel Studios movie (after Eternals) to have some scenes that utilize the full IMAX 1.43:1 aspect ratio.
- In the early 2000s, future Ant-Man director Peyton Reed was attached to direct a Fantastic Four film that would have been set in the 1960s - which is echoed in the MCU version being set in a retro-future alternate reality that is heavily based upon the 1960s, the era in which the Fantastic Four were first introduced.
- In 1972, the prog rock group Icarus released a theme album, The Marvel World Of Icarus, and you can probably guess the theme. Among songs about the likes of Hulk, Daredevil and Thor (sometimes with questionable takes on the characters in question based on the lyrics), the catchiest song on the album s “Fantastic Four." Enjoy!
