Trailer for the new Fantastic Four Movie!
It’s been a long time coming, but we finally get a brief look at the upcoming Fantastic 4 reboot staring Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell.
FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, 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.
Humm…. thoughts?

well, there isnt a great deal to see in the trailer, but you do get a feeling of grimness and a generally dark tone which, in itself, is not a bad thing, although not generally consistent with FF comic canon.
I assume the device we see space suited people being strapped into is a inter-dimensional device which, of course, goes horribly wrong and our fantastic family go through some changes. At least the thing looks thing like, but there is a general lack of the symbol 4 in the trailer which is a concern.
There is no sign of a Dr Doom, so jury still out on his character and many other things about this movie.
I will still ask the question, why not just give us a proper FF and Dr Doom from the early comics as they are what made the comics popular in the first place and i challenge anyone to come up with anything better. I still dont think another origin story was necessary, most people know who they are so just jump in and get on with it.
