So, comic book writer Dan Slott visited Marvel Studios recently and tweeted about it:

Today was awesome.
That’s it.
That’s all I’m saying.😁 pic.twitter.com/Qn6i0yRNge

Why should you care? Well, Dan Slott has been writing comics since the 90s and has been a staple at Marvel for nearly 20 years. He has written nearly every big Marvel character at some point through Avengers books and other titles. He even wrote for She-Hulk for a three year period.

However, He is probably most famously known for taking over The Amazing Spider-Man after the One More Day (one of four writers on the thrice-monthly book originally) story and writing for that title for more than a decade. Slott guided Peter Parker in and out of his own body through the Superior Spider-Man arc and ended his run with a Carnage infested Green Goblin in 2018. Slott Had some other side projects during his time with the Web-head and even helped launch an award-winning Silver Surfer series in 2014.

That is all good and great, but there’s something else he’s famous for, and it’s much more recent, and that’s bringing the Fantastic Four back to the Marvel Comics line after a three-year hiatus. That’s right, if you didn’t know, Marvel (and possibly Disney) likely played around with Fox Studios by not publishing any books of Marvel’s First Family after the complete failure of 2015’s Fantastic Four movie. After it was known that Disney was going to be purchasing Fox Studios, the publisher gave Slott the green light to bring the Fantastic Four back to life, and fans have been mostly positive about it.

So what does Mr. Slott being at the house Tony Stark built mean? This writer is feeling something Fantastic coming. Marvel has to be chomping at the bit, as much as fans (if not more) to get Doctor Doom, Sue, Reed, Ben, and Johnny on the big screen, and who is better to talk to than the current writer who had the team traveling the multiverse? Did you catch that last word? Multiverse? Isn’t there a movie hitting next year directly dealing with that? YES! Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to hit May 7th, 2021 and could lead us into a brand new Fantastic Four film in the near future.

I have always seen the MCU’s Fantastic Four as having been around since the 60s and have been lost in space in time for what will seem to them a short time, but bring them to the post Endgame world. Slott’s run, which picked up mostly after where 2015’s Secret Wars left the family, could be the perfect building blocks for the fourth attempt (including the unreleased Roger Corman version) to bring a FANTASTIC version of Marvel’s first family to the silver screen.

There is a chance we’re way off base here though. Slott could be talking to Marvel Studios about the upcoming She-Hulk series coming to Disney+. He did write a particularly popular run for the character in the mid-2000s and a glance at the twitter comments shows there is a fan hunger for him to be part of the team that brings Jeniffer Walters to life on the Disney+ streaming service.

We can’t forget about Spidey though. While things seem like Jon Watts and his team are set for the next Spider-Man film, there’s always the future to be thinking of. As we saw in the Morbius trailer, there will be more connective tissue between Sony’s movies (gross) and the MCU and some of Slott’s work in the Spider-Verse could be on the table for discussion too.
