franchise, was rumored to be one of the top contenders for the superhero film. Apparently that ain't the case. He tells Comicbookmovie...“And to tell you the truth, I’ve no interest in doing Fantastic Four, frankly, and there have been no discussions about it. I think more than anything after Potter, I need a bit of a break. And there are two or three things I really like a lot that would come before anything else. Even though they’re not announced, there are a few things that I really, really like a lot that I’m keeping under my hat to make sure they’re cooking. So my schedule wouldn’t allow it anyway, but, again, I haven’t had any discussions with anyone.”
Ok, so he wasn't even asked apparently. They probably saw the look of disgust on his face and just ran in the opposite direction. One of the projects Yates might be talking about pursuing after Harry Potter is a possible adaptation of the Vertigo comic book series, Fables. One can only hope!
