At Disney’s recent Investor Day, among dozens of other announcements, it was confirmed that Marvel is working on a reboot of the Fantastic Four franchise, having reacquired the rights to the property in the Fox merger, and Jon Watts has been tapped to direct it.

Today while trying to access the website, I was not able to log in, I only got an error message. And now the site just redirects to Microsoft’s website.
