The Big Picture Marvel fans have rightly been concerned about the upcoming slate of Phase 5 and 6 projects in the MCU which have been placed on the back burner as a result of the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but director Matt Shakman revealed to Collider's Editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub during an interview for his upcoming Apple TV+ series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, that his upcoming Fantastic Four film will shoot next year in London, with Marvel aiming for a springtime start on...
A Legendary Base of Operations Shakman confirmed that, successful outcome of the SAG-AFTRA strike pending, the movie would be heading to the Legendary Pinewood Studios where film history has been made throughout the decades. "Yes, we are definitely gonna go in front of cameras next year," he said. "Probably the spring. London. Pinewood."

I've loved those characters since I was little. It's such an awesome world to be in. The script is awesome, the characters are brilliant. I'm super excited.
SHAKMAN: We have been nonstop. Despite the strikes, yes, we've been working with the effects and with production design and building our world, and that's been incredibly exciting. You know, how do you translate those skills into live-action in dynamic ways? Because some things that work beautifully in John Byrne and Jack Kirby are a little tougher when you're filming them.
One of my last things is I love IMAX and the large screen format. What Nolan did with Oppenheimer was amazing in getting people so excited to go see IMAX 70mm.
