MCU fans have been waiting for the x-men and The Fantastic Four to finally join the biggest MCU since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox and its franchises. Although Kevin Feige and Disney have kept their ideas secret, things seem to be moving forward behind the scenes.
In the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige would have liked Tom Holland to participate. Holland would just appear in a cameo, according to the source, but that’s enough to pique Marvel fans’ interest in the highly anticipated movie starring Marvel’s First Family.
Spider-Man and Fantastic Four have a long history

Anyone even remarkably familiar with the comics shouldn’t be surprised by Tom Holland’s likely inclusion in the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. The Fantastic Four and Spider-Man have a long and illustrious history dating back to the early 1960s when both franchises were just getting started.
Many comic book plots center around Spidey’s friendship with Johnny Storm / The Human Torch. If Marvel wants Holland’s appearance to be interpreted as the first step in a friendship between Johnny and Peter, they’ll want to make that connection relatively early in the film.
Tom Holland is a vital addition as Kevin Feige and the Marvel Cinematic Universe creative team understand how important Spidey can be to the overall plot of Marvel’s First Family.

For those who missed it, Avengers Tower is currently under construction. The phrase intensifies near a door that reads, “We can’t wait to show you what’s next.” The “4” in the progression is followed by a “1”, a “2”, a “3” and a “?” in this statement. Some have suggested that the Fantastic Four may be living in Avengers Tower right now. According to a fan theory, Avengers Tower is now the Baxter Building.
Many fans noticed Spider-Man: Far From Home had the Fantastic Four Easter egg sneaking up on them. Peter Parker walked past East 41st Street during the post-credits scene that completely changed his life, and there was a slightly odd fence near the crosswalk. Following reports that Tom Holland would be appearing in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, a group of fans made the decision to draw more attention to this Easter egg.
