Behold the First Teaser Trailer for the New Fantastic 4!
Usually movies have to wait for a sequel before they start replacing letters with numbers, but the new Fantastic 4 movie doesn’t have time to waste. So behold, the first teaser trailer for Fant4stic!
I know fandom is prepared to hate this movie, and I’d like to think I’m going to approach this with open eyes, but the trailer doesn’t do much for me yet. The movie looks slick, that’s for sure, but this trailer is a little too moody for my tastes right now. It doesn’t say ‘get excited for the new Fantastic 4 movie’, it says ‘there’s going to be a new Fantastic 4 movie, and here’s a glimpse of what it looks like’. Though I do like the angle that this is a sci-fi movie with a Fantastic 4 twist. And how there is zero attempt to connect to the previous films.
I guess FOX is just hoping that nobody cares enough to remember those other films, and that they’ll embrace this brand new attempt instead.
I’ll definitely go see the movie, and heck, maybe it will even be good, but it has an uphill battle ahead of it this year. Once Age of Ultron hits theaters, nobody is going to care about Fant4stic.
Jeez. It pains me to type that. At any rate, the movie comes out on Aug. 7.

You know, I never really cared for the Fantastic 4, even in the comics, so the alterations don’t bother me as much as they do their actual fans. Still, what they’re doing with Doom is very weird. I’ll watch it and, like you said, it might even be good. We shall see.
I’m in pretty much the same boat. The Fantastic Four have never been anywhere near my favorite superheroes, so I really don’t care how they’re charged. I’m all in favor of a black Human Torch. So we’ll see what happens.
Looks a bit like Interstellar, doesn’t it?
That’s probably what they want, pushing hard sci-fi instead of superhero romp.
Wow, that teaser was no fun at all. I guess there’s not much more we can say except “hope it doesn’t suck.”
Indeed, they don’t seem to be pushing the ‘Fantastic’ angle all that much.
