As the world waits on the answer to the most important question inhistory–who will make up Marvel Studios’ First Family?–an interesting tidbit of news about the script for Fantastic Four has emerged.
Working in tandem, Reddit’s DCEU Leaks and insider Daniel RPK have learned that the writing duo of Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber have been brought into “touch up” Josh Friedman‘s script. Friedman, who wrote Avatar: The Way of Water and Snowpiercer, was brought on in March 2023 to take over scripting duties from Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer.
Neustadter and Weber have worked together on several projects included Daisy Jones & the Six, Hulu’s Rosaline and The Disaster Artist. According to the report, they have not been brought in to rewrite the script from page one but simply to take a pass at it. Given their filmography, it seems likely they’re adding some comedic touches to Friedman’s sci-fi script.
