It may be a while before we get to see the Fantastic Four in the MCU, but it looks like we'll be getting some new material in the form of a podcast series. Marvel and Stitcher have just announced that they're extending their deal with an upcoming podcast series in the same vein as Marvel's Wolverine: The Long Night.
According to the official site, this new series called Marvels, and it celebrates the 25th anniversary of the comic by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross of the same name. The comic follows the story of Phil Sheldon, a photographer who brings us to the seat of the civilians in the Marvel universe as they live among a world of superheroes and supervillains.
The cast of the show includes Method Man as Ben Urich, AnnaSophia Robb as Marcia Hardesty, Seth Barrish as Phil Sheldon, and Ethan Peck as Mr. Fantastic.
The series is also set to feature characters like Sue Storm (Louisa Krause), Ben Grimm (Jake Hart), Johnny Storm (Ehad Berisha), Peter Parker (Teo Rapp-Olsson), and Charlie Martinez (Gabriela Martinez).
This is the synopsis:
Marvels takes place in the aftermath of the Fantastic Four's battle with Galactus, high above New York City, for the fate of the world. One intrepid photographer, an ambitious college student, and a cynical journalist embark on an investigation to confirm or debunk one of the most super-powered conspiracy theories of all time.
No specific release date has been set for Marvels, but you can catch it on Stitcher when it launches this fall.
