I wasn't aware that there is an "extended cut".

Fantastic Four (2005) Theatrical Cut vs Extended Cut

Quote

For the American audience, however, the purchase may not be a bad idea because until the Extended Version was released the only available DVD was a Single-Disc containing only three of the numerous deleted scenes as well as lacking the extraordinary and very detailed Making of Heroes are Born that the European DVDs contained. On top of that the viewer is now able to choose between the Theatrical and the Extended Version. A remarkable release indeed.

 

Interesting is that the original American version (meaning the version on the first DVD release) is identical with the British version. This version is different from other DVD versions, for example the ones from Germany or Hong Kong, in terms of special effects and a few minor scenes. The old US/UK version and the HK/German version respectively contained a long storyline scene that was completely missing in the other version (US-&UK version: promenade scene / HK/German version: observatory scene). The Extended Version features both scenes consecutively, as well as a little change on Reeds grimace. So the Extended Version contains all relevant scenes.

 

  • US Theatrical Version 106 minutes NTSC
  • Extended Version 126 minutes NTSC

 

Extended with 12 scenes with a total running time of 20:11 minutes

To include a semi-animated opening credits to give it that comic book feeling.

While Marvel Studios has announced the release date for its Fantastic Four reboot, a new report from Variety hints that it could be coming in the foreseeable future. Apparently, despite Watts' booking projects outside of the MCU, including executive producing Final Destination 6, his next project is still scheduled to be the Fantastic Four reboot. However, the comments confirm that a release date has still yet to be decided. Read the related quote below:

 

"Watts is only set to produce “Final Destination 6.” His next directing gig will still likely be Marvel Studios’ reboot of the “Fantastic Four” superhero franchise, which remains undated."

Jon Watts will no longer be directing the upcoming Fantastic Four film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

 

Watts, who helmed the massively successful Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home for Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, withdrew from Fantastic Four.

 

“Collaborating with Jon on the Spider-Man films has been a true pleasure. We were looking forward to continuing our work with him to bring the Fantastic Four into the MCU but understand and are supportive of his reasons for stepping away,” read a statement from Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios president and co-president Louis D’Esposito. “We are optimistic that we will have the opportunity to work together again at some point down the road.”
