Kinberg Talks Fantastic Four & More

By Garth Franklin Thursday April 14th 2005 03:20PM

Yesterday Now Playing Magazine talked to screenwriter Simon Kinberg about "X-Men 3", which he is currently writing. Today he spoke about the film which landed him that gig - "Fantastic Four".

The important question had to be asked that if an FF2 gets made, who would the villain? "I don't know, because nobody is working on the sequel yet..[however] you will see that it is not just an origin story of the Fantastic Four; it is also an origin story of Dr. Doom, and it is not until fairly late in the first movie [that] he fully becomes Dr. Doom. And there is a lot of space for him to grow in futures films, and I am sure they will want to bring in other villains because all of these franchises do, but I have a feeling he'll be to Fantastic Four what Magneto is to X-Men."

What about the planet-chomping behemoth known as Galactus? "I would imagine it is possible. I would imagine the Fantastic Four franchise will do what the X-Men franchise [does] - get bigger and bigger each time out, ideally. And certainly Galactus will be as big as you can get."
