The MCU’s New Fantastic Four Team Looks Stunning In Retro Marvel Comics-Inspired Art

While the initial logo of The Fantastic Four hinted at a more modern take on the legendary superhero team, more recent promotional material suggests The Fantastic Four will be set in the 1960s. This has spurred a great deal of fan art depicting the team in classic styles from Marvel Comics, including an adapted cover of 1962's Fantastic Four #3 shared by Julienricojr.
This art depicts Pascal, Kirby, Quinn and Moss-Bachrach as their respective characters in place of the original members on the cover of Fantastic Four #3, showing off their superhuman abilities and marking an appearance by the Fantasti-Car.

In the poster, Johnny Storm shows off his fire-wielding abilities as he flies above a retro-futuristic city. This gives weight to The Fantastic Four's suspected 1960s setting, though has also spurred speculation that the project could be set in an alternate reality inspired by the '60s, rather than in the MCU's actual history.
