Following news that "Fantastic Four" director Josh Trank had parted ways with the upcoming "Star Wars" anthology film he was attached to direct, the Hollywood Reporter has heard from an inside source that problems on the Fox/Marvel movie led to his ousting.

The report states that "FF's" producers faced "great challenges pulling the film together" due to, as one insider put it, “erratic” and at times “very isolated” behavior. Because of this, producers Simon Kinberg and Hutch Parker played a greater hand in shaping the film, although Trank was still on set and directing the film as per Directors Guild rules. A Fox spokesperson added that the studio is still “very happy with the movie and we can’t wait for audiences to see it” despite the fact that “there were definitely some bumps in the road.”
