Marvel Studios execKevin Feigepreviously teasedwhat fans can expect from the filmat San Diego Comic-Con back in 2022, noting the movie would not center around how the Fantastic Four got their powers, as previous film iterations have.

Adding to the variation is the setting for the new movie, a 1960s style, which is a contrast from recentFantastic Fourfilms set in modern times. The film’s director,Matt Shakman, said the superhero quartet will be saving lives in athrowback aesthetic.

“We’re not just doing the ’60s, we’re doing retro-future ’60s,” he said. “It’s part what you know from the ’60s, but part what you’ve never seen before.”

Feige, 51, provided a bit more information inThe Official Marvel Podcast, saying that the movie will be a period piece set in New York City, and possibly in a different universe.

He said, perEntertainment Weekly, “There was another piece of art we released with Johnny Storm flying in the air making a ‘4’ symbol and there was a cityscape in the corner of that image.”

“There were a lot of smart people who noticed that that cityscape didn’t look exactly like the New York that we know, or the New York that existed in the ‘60s in our world. Those are smart observations, I’ll say,” Feige teased.

The Fantastic Four: First Stepsis in theaters July 25.
