Fantastic Futurism |
“The filmmakers discuss the process of immersing the cast and crew in the film’s retro-futuristic aesthetic. Join Matt Shakman and crew as they discuss the experience of shooting in gigantic mid-century New York sets and stepping into an otherworldly era.“ |

According to EW, there will also be a director’s commentary with Shakman as well as production designer Kasra Farahani. That is likely where more insight will be given concerning elements such as The Fantastic Four: First Steps Easter eggs and references, as well as alternative ideas that perhaps didn’t make it into the final cut of the movie.

As the extra featurettes are always a solid way to get a better understanding of how the film came together and the thoughts behind the creative decisions, it will be exciting to see how the cast and team break down the Phase 6 installment.
