Fantastic Four reboot-- Casting, Rumors, Pix, ect;
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
I don't think so, Ross needed special permission to give the serum to Blonsky, I could be wrong but I don't think it was mentioned before that.
By putting RDJ in The Incredible Hulk they made it part of their overall MCU plans and just ignored the first Hulk movie. All three Hulks though seems to different power levels though at lest to me. I imagine though Spider-Man will also be different in his MCU version as well.
I cannot be bothered to find it but someone pointed out a number of ways in which what we see is incompatible with what comes in the late hulk film and MCU films.
The last couple days I've been looking through the Marvel Cosmic stuff on Comixology, and one of the newer ones, either an issue in the current Guardians of the Galaxy or Nova series featured Chitauri. So either they've brought them over from the Ultimate Universe, or they're now in 616 along with the Skrulls.
As for an FF adaptation, would a TV series be possibly. It wouldn't be able to have quite as much spectacle, although shows like Once Upon a Time and Defiance have done some pretty impressive things, but it would be able to focus more on the relationships, which seems to be what people really like.
I just read the first couple arcs in Mark Millar's run, and I would love to see that version of the FF on screen. I think having the FF be a family of veteran heroes, with the kids, would help to make them really feel unique and special. They could even set up the Future Foundation, and if the show is really successful do an spinoff.
Well, the origins are incompatable for one. Also, the Lee movie killed off the Glenn Talbot character, who has become a recurring character on Agents of SHIELD.
Aside from direct mention of the Super Soldier program, there is this deleted scene (you can actually jump to around the 2:00 mark)...

And while I realize that deleted scenes aren't canon*, it does point to the intent of the film-makers and the studio to bring Cap into the fold. (As did real world comments made by Kevin Feige before production even started on Iron Man.)
*Interestingly, while deleted and therefore non-canon, the events of this scene were described as actually happening in The Avengers.
And yes, director Louis Lettenier confirms that that is meant to be Cap.
Banner's suicide attempt is mentioned as is his breaking of Harlem, but not the Captain America reveal. And I kind of doubt that they'd openly claim it was Cap since Universal doesn't own the rights to Captain America. And the scene cuts off before the reveal at any rate. And scenes from The Incredible Hulk do appear in both Iron Man 2 and the Avengers. Jim Wilson is also in The Incredible Hulk but I'm sure he's not related to Sam. 
The Ang Lee Hulk is not MCU in any way. (I'm not even sure why people keep trying to make it be.) Not only is it incompatible with Incredible Hulk in many ways, the MCU is material made by Marvel Studios. The first Hulk was not made by them.
They don't own Iron Man either, didn't stop Stark having a chat with Ross.
Well, obviously the studio decided to go in another direction with the Cap reveal, but that and the mentions of the Super-Soldier program by Ross, Blonsky and Stark were obvious bits of foreshadowing.
ETA: So were what seemed to be a mold or model of Cap's shield in the first two Iron Man movies. And the Cap comic stowed with Howard Stark's gear.

^Nope. "The Incredible Hulk" was distributed by Universal, not made .That was part of the deal in giving the ownership rights back to Marvel Studios to make Hulk movies was that Universal got to distribute them. That's reason we never got a Hulk sequel. Disney doesn't want to share the pie.
None of the other Phase One movies were "made by" Paramount either, but that's why they carried the Paramount logo even after the Disney sale-- the distribution deal.

It would take a major (and implausable) retcon. Something along the lines of 'the FF were there all along, but had to erase themselves from peoples conciousness for X reason, only for that to be reversed in the present'. Now everyone remembers them.
Pants isn't it ?
Well, that's why I argued Reed Richards scientist is fine. The Invisible Girl, Human Torch, and stretchy guy are a bit more of a stretch (unless you want to make them a secret, like Pym's Ant-Man was).
ETA: I swear no pun was intended there.
We've mentioned the possibility of time jump episodes with Agent Carter (not time travel, plast playing with sequentiality.). Then again Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D. could jump back as easily as Carter could jump forward, and pepper the Fantastic Four throughout the entire CMCU, before they get their own movie in 2025 after FOX just plain says "#### it, this #### is your problem now".
Although a 1960s Fantastic Four would be staffed with Ben and Reed, who are veterans of WWII.
Hmmm.
Who did Doom fight for in WWII?
And even then was he a world leader/general or a soldier fighting for one side or the other before he took Latveria?
Emma Roberts looks like Odo from Deep Space Nine.

Yeah I menioned that earlier, but it looks like from this thread there's clearly no right way of doing it for all the fans. They simply need just to make a good movie.
In The Invaders, he was hanging out with Adolph Hitler with bandages on his face.
