I’m getting confused by various websites’ reports on the new Fantastic Four, as if they’re surprised by all of the reveals. Anyone who has read Marvel’s “Ultimate Fantastic Four” series knows exactly what’s in store, and should be excited.
This Sunday afternoon Fox released the second full trailer for Fantastic Four, which boasts its phenomenal cast – Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, Toby Kebbell – and all of their super powers. We finally see the Invisible Woman, Thing, Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch. Not only that, but we get a taste of Dr. Doom who is a demented programmer hellbent on revenge.
If you’ve read the comics the movie is based off of, you may agree that the finale was a bit weak, which is my only concern. With that said, director Josh Trank has completed weeks and weeks of vigorous additional photography that could have been part of the solution. All I know is that this trailer looks absolutely spectacular – about a million times better than the disappointment that was Batman V Superman.
In theaters August 7, 2015, “Fantastic Four centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.“
