He's currently in negotiations to pen Fantastic Four 2 and would love to come back again. He knows in which direction he wants the characters to head and plans to have all the Fantastic Four come back.

Um, I would hope all Four would come back Mark.

Although Fantastic Four opened well and performed respectably this summer, Alba says she hasn't heard specifics about the film just yet. "I don't know… No, they honestly haven't called me yet about it..."

Fear not. Should more Fantastic Four films get the greenlight, Alba will be back in blue tights. She is signed for at least three films. Although full details are a ways off, Alba does have a bit of info for where Sue Storm might go. "Married. I think they need to get married. I know what the first 20 minutes of the movie are gonna be. It's really cool. They're getting married. Maybe I'm giving away too much, but yeah."

Alba says that the character is one of her favorite roles. "Sue Storm couldn't have been more conservative and nerdy and a little corny and, you know, soft in her opinions about things. Even when she was making a statement, she was still very prim and proper and I loved that about her. That was why I did a character like [that]..."

To view the complete list of movies being released in December, head on over to Coming Soon.

Moonscoop Productions has launched a teaser page for the animated Fantastic Four cartoon, along with a colorful thumbnail.

Ioan said that he expects that the sequel will start shooting next year for a 2007 release and that he is looking forward in finding out who will be nemesis in the next film. He did say that he does now that they are currently working on the script.

Also, Ioan Gruffudd adds that he was never in contention for the role of James Bond.

"Fox is moving forward on a sequel to Fantastic Four, that film made lots of money and will make loads more with the DVD release, we have been told to expect to start shooting next year" says McMahon. He added that he has been told that Dr.Doom is expected to have some help this time around. When asked if the Puppet Master will lending a hand he said that he couldn't comment.

Fox Home Entertainment has revealed the street date for Fantastic Four which stars Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba and Chris Evans. The film will be available to own in seperate anamorphic widescreen, and full screen releases from the 13th of December this year. Each should set you back around $27.95. Both sites posted image advertisements highlighting the release date of the DVD.

The one thing that was on everybody's lips – especially given the extraordinary performance at the box office, was sequels. And if Gruffudd's words are a indication, it's all looking very good: "We've signed for two and three already, and it looks more than likely that we'll be shooting them even as early as next year."

"The good thing is it won't be an origin picture," said Chiklis, "So we can go right into storytelling, and depending on which villain we decide to go with, and which way we decide to go, we can get right into the crux of the story immediately."

Meanwhile, Ms Alba had her mind on more matters maternal "Tim put secrets in this movie that he's going to reveal in the next one, and I think we have to get the Fantasticar – that'd be cool… and I think we need some kids, at least by the third one, so Reed and Sue should get busy!"

Also, around the sequel news is Aint It Cool News, who recieved word from 'Ding' that...

Ioan Gruffudd revealed this morning on the BBC's Breakfast programme here in the UK, that he was contacted last week by the head of Fox, and informed that there would indeed be another Fantastic Four movie.

To check out all the news on the upcoming sequels, head on over to our Fantastic Four 2 page.

F411 will continue to cover the "Fantastic Four" movie, but will also move onto "Fantasic Four 2," as more news arrives.

Stay Tuned... We're still here!

Avi Arad, chairman of Marvel Studios, sees the weekend as just the beginning of a long-term revenue stream for the company. "Of course, there will be a sequel," he said. "Now the constituency is much larger."

The $56 million box office over the 3-day period is helping the box office to get out of the 2005 slump, which has been ongoing for 19 weeks. The opening number beats out many comic book adaptions, including Batman Begins, which earned $48 million its first weekend on the way to a total of $172 million so far. Let's hope that the Fantastic Four can bring in final numbers like those as well.
