As had previously been widely rumored, WandaVision director Matt Shakman is officially in talks to helm Marvel’s Fantastic Four reboot, which is on course to hit theaters on Nov. 8, 2024.

Plenty of Ruffalites jumped to his defense, but it turns out that there are a lot of people out there who miss the days when the Jade Giant looked like something from a PS2 video game cutscene.
