Part 2/8:
Director Matt Shakman recently confirmed in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly that the film will not follow the conventional origins of Marvel’s First Family. Instead of introducing audiences to the characters through their formative experiences, Shakman mentioned, “We’re not telling the story of them going up and being changed… we thought well, let’s just start this thing off on a completely new foot.” This approach, while innovative, has left many questioning whether it is the right decision, especially given the comic book fan base's longstanding attachment to the heroes' storied backgrounds.
