Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four reboot has been in development for some time now, and it appears the project has found its ideal director in WandaVision helmer Matt Shakman.

According to THR, Shakman is just one of the filmmakers who met with Marvel Studios about potentially helming the Fantastic Four film. Other candidates included Love and Monsters director Michael Matthew and Reid Carolin, who recently co-directed Dog with Channing Tatum. The search for a new director to spearheadFantastic Four started after Jon Watts, who helmed Marvel Studios and Sony's Spider-Man trilogy starring Tom Holland, exited the project. Watts' departure from Fantastic Four was said to be amicable, as the filmmaker reportedly wanted to step away from superhero films after working on the Spider-Man trilogy for nearly five years.

Shakman's directing credits before working onWandaVision include episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Game of Thrones. He had been tapped to direct the new Star Trek film for Paramount as recently as last summer, but it now remains unclear if he's still attached to the project. Should Shakman officially sign on to helmFantastic Four, it won't be the only major franchise on his slate. He is currently set to direct the first two episodes of Apple TV Plus' Godzilla series in the MonsterVerse franchise, in addition to serving as an executive producer.
