Matt Shankman will no longer be directing the next adventure for Chris Pine’s Jim Kirk and co. – and could be in charge of Marvel’s Fantastic Four reboot.

“Matt Shakman is an incredibly talented filmmaker, and we regret the timing didn’t align for him to direct our upcoming Star Trek film,” Paramount Pictures said in a statement. “We are grateful for his many contributions, are excited about the creative vision of this next chapter and look forward to bringing it to audiences all around world.”

Earlier this week it was rumoured that the WandaVision director was in negotiations with Marvel to helm the FF’s introduction to the MCU, which is set to start Phase 6 of Kevin Feige’s masterplan.

There’s no confirmation as yet as to whether this will move the Christmas 2023 planned release date for Star Trek 14.
