Brad Bird
It’s said that Brad Bird already made the definitive Fantastic Four movie when he made The Incredibles, and there’s certainly an argument to be made that his vision of a family of superheroes came closer to the original Marvel Comics property than any of the live-action movies based on the title. While Bird’s status as a brilliant filmmaker was cemented long ago by The Iron Giant and Ratatouille in addition to The Incredibles, his more recent output leave something to be desired.
His first live-action outing, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, revitalized the franchise, but his second, 2015’s Tomorrowland, was a dull, incoherent disaster and massive box office flop. While he returned to audiences’ good graces with the long-awaited The Incredibles 2 in 2018, the sequel didn’t feel quite as fresh as the original. He’s currently developing an original animated project called Ray Gunn; would he give that up to work on another Disney-owned IP and regain his footing in the live-action realm?
Steven Caple Jr.
Steven Caple Jr.’s second feature film, Creed II, solidly put him on the map as he proved more than up to the challenge of making a credible sequel to Ryan Coogler’s outstanding Creed. The Rocky franchise is not known for a glittering array of effective sequels, but Creed II continued the story of Adonis Creed in emotionally intense fashion and even got a possible career-best performance out of Dolph Lundgren.
Off that, Caple was handed the keys to the Transformers franchise and is now in post-production on Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Michael Bay’s five-film run on the series certainly set an extremely low bar, but if Caple can mesh his character instincts with spectacular visuals, then not only might he revive the Transformers IP, but that could well give a shot at the title – helming Marvel’s Fantastic Four.
Deborah Chow
Deborah Chow is already an established director in the Disney system, having helmed episodes of Jessica Jones and Iron Fist for Marvel and The Mandalorian for Lucasfilm. Her vast array of TV credits also includes episodes of Fear the Walking Dead, Lost in Space, Better Call Saul, The Man in the High Castle, and many others. But her highest-profile project to date is due out soon, with Chow selected by Lucasfilm to direct all six episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Although she’s only got one theatrical film under her belt (2010’s The High Cost of Living), Disney and Lucasfilm certainly seem confident enough in her by handing her the entire premiere season of Kenobi. A signature of her work seems to be a focus on character, which might be key to the development of a successful Fantastic Four. It might be Chow’s time to return to the big screen with their story.
