Michael Chiklis is one of my favourite actors on screen at the moment, sure he’s no Shakesparean great, but he’s good on screen and great to watch. So it’s good news that he’s preparing for another series of the successful television show The Shield as well as a very quick leap to the next Fantastic Four. From CHUD through Comic Book Movie:
CHUD asked: “Do you have anything set between Rise and The Shield?”
Chiklis: “A vacation! I’ve worked for 17 months straight, no break. I shoot this until beginning of August and I start The Shield in mid-September, and then I go right into, from what I understand, the second installment of Fantastic Four. And I think right after that, into another project that I’m talking about that I can’t discuss just yet.”
CHUD: “Another Fantastic Four already, huh?”
Chiklis: “It’s not confirmed yet, but the conversation is that as early as next spring, maybe early summer to shoot.”
That didn’t take much to get out of him! It shows that the Studio are ready to put more money behind the next Fantastic Four movie before it has even finished its cinema run. Personally I’m up for this, as there are loads of possibilities, particularly around the development of Doom as well as the heroes. Is anyone else looking forward to this?
