Whether or not the studio will actually produce a sequel, after the disastrousbox officeresults ofFantastic Four, remains to be seen.Kate Mararevealed that the director’s actions are “highly disappointing” maintained she had a “good time” while making the film.
“It was a tricky shoot but you know… When you know when you’re shooting it that a film isn’t going to be what you want it to be (sic)? That was not the case at all.”
The actress added that she still hasn’t seenFantastic Fouryet, adding that but adds that the movie’s harsh reviews have made her feel “a little bit gun-shy” about seeing the finished product.
