Fox has decided to push back its Fantastic Four remake until August 2015, taking the slot that the studio had initially reserved for Assassin’s Creed .
Fantastic Four had initially been slated to arrive on 16 June 2015, but will now move back a couple of months to open on 7 August 2015 instead.
While it isn’t immediately obvious why an August release date would be preferable to a June one, Collider speculates that the huge success of Guardians Of The Galaxy (which opened in August) could be a factor.
Meanwhile, Assassin’s Creed has been pulled from Fox’s lineup altogether, with a TBD now in place of an official release date. Not overly promising news there…
Fantastic Four meanwhile, will be directed by Josh Trank and will co-star Kate Mara, Miles Teller, Jamie Bell and Michael B. Jordan, and will be hitting our screens in under twelve months…
