Fans of the superhero genre, and of Fox itself, have been curious when they would see a first look at the 2015 reboot of the famous superhero team, The Fantastic Four. There have been wild rumors spread all across the internet. Some have suggested that Josh Trank was being irresponsible on set, causing issues with the crew and the studio. Other rumors have suggested that the film was only being made for the sole purpose of 20th Century Fox keeping the rights to the characters.
All of this aside, whether true or false, the first glimpse at this new iteration of the famed team is….better than expected. With interstellar visuals to another dimension, and a more grounded approach, the new trailer sells. I don’t know if one could sell this trailer hard. But, one thing is for certain, I do not think this is the trainwreck that everyone was hoping it would be.
The film stars Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, and Toby Kebbell.
Fantastic Four opens in theaters nationwide on August 7th, 2015.
