Rumor: ‘Fantastic Four’ Reboot Is Based On An Unpublished Mark Millar Children’s Book

Below, learn more about the potential Fantastic Four reboot.
We last heard the next Fantastic Four film might follow Reed Richards and Susan Storm’s kids, Franklin and Valeria, with The Human Torch and The Thing “along for the ride.” Now, Bleeding Cool writes that reboot is a rework of Millar and Tieg’s unpublished story, not based on any of the writer’s Ultimate Fantastic Four stories.
In 2013, Millar sold the film rights for Kindergarten Heroes to 20th Century Fox. The book was completed but was never released by the now defunct Edinburgh publisher Books Noir. The rumor goes that the book and Carter Blanchard’s script for Kindergarten Heroes is now the basis for the next Fantastic Four film, which the outlet says will still star Franklin and Valeria.
A Kindergarten Heroes movie – which Simon Kinberg (Fantastic Four) was going to produce – has been scrapped and reworked into the next reboot of Marvel’s classic heroes, who are 0 for 4 when it comes to live-action movies. Seth Grahame-Smith (The LEGO Batman Movie) wrote the most recent draft of the kid-friendly Fantastic Four, and he apparently incorporated elements from Kindergarten Heroes into his draft.
