Fox made four big scheduling moves late Thursday, highlighted by the latest change in release date for the new Fantastic Four movie. Marvel fans should also be excited to know that a Deadpool movie has been scheduled.
The dates showed up on Box Office Mojo’s schedule and reveal that FF now has Assassin’s Creed’s old release date. The video game adaptation was supposed to come out on Aug. 7, 2015, but now it has no release date. Michael Fassbender is attached to the long-gestating project.
FF was originally supposed to come out on June 19, 2015. Little is known about the film, even though principal photography has already been completed. Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Miles Teller star as the Marvel superhero team.
Paper Towns, based on the John Green novel and starring Nat Wolff and Cara Delevingne, will be released on June 19, 2015. It was previously scheduled for July 31, 2015.
Lastly, Deadpool will be released on Feb. 12, 2016, continuing the new trend of releasing big comic book movies outside of the summer season. The film will be based on the Marvel mercenary, who is a member of the X-Men universe. The project has been in the works for nearly forever, with Ryan Reynolds attached at one point. Tim Miller was hired to helm the film in 2011.
