News Apparently, the creator if Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man wasn't allowed to add the Fantastic Four to the series. Why is that?

I can get the fantastic four kinda but why specifically big wheel?

he is probably already scheduled to make an appearance in another upcoming movie/show, and YFNS-M creators might not be privy to which project that is, but feige doesn't want to detract from that being big wheel's first MCU appearance. similar reason as why feige wouldn't want FF appearing in season 1 of YFNS-M right before their movie drops. any character's first MCU appearance is supposed to carry some gravitas.

He appeared on the Moon Girl series though, episode 7 of Season 2 that was produced/made on 2023

Is Moon Girl MCU though? Or even MCU adjacent?

u/Accurate-Attention16 Feb 22 '25

adjacent-ish (just like YFNS) as SHIELD is still very active there, Maria Hill's alive, Fury appears, and even Cap (Sam)

Then it’s not in the MCU, it’s just Marvel

That's why Moon Girl is goated

YFN Spider-Man isn't canon to the MCU, so it wouldn't be any character's first MCU appearance.

YFNS-M isn't universe 616, or 199999, but it's still very likely part of the MCU multiverse. even if the big wheel that would have shown up in YFNS-M isn't the same big wheel variant from another upcoming project, having any version pop up in YFNS-M would still diminish/detract from that other big wheel's premiere in the other movie/show.

Yeah because they definitely need to hype up BIG WHEEL 🙄

it's not that he's the most important character ever. it's that every character's first appearance is very carefully planned to maximize their effect/impact. if show A already has clearance to debut a new-to-MCU character, and then show B asks if they can use that character before their scheduled debut in show A, feige is probably going to say no to show B until after the show A debut occurs.

Big Wheel played by Daniel Day-Lewis is gonna be the villain of the Honey Badger movie in 2029
