New Fantastic Four Trailer is Relatively Safe to Watch

I shouldn’t have watched the new Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer that came out yesterday. But I’m very excited for this movie and I just couldn’t help myself. I try not to watch new trailers so close to a movie’s release, but man…this is gonna be a good one.

If you’re interested in watching the trailer, I want to assure you that it’s mostly safe. There’s a ton of new footage, but it’s new footage around footage we’ve seen in previous trailers. So no new reveals or anything too huge; nothing we didn’t already know about. The trailer shows a little bit more of Galactus, but does not show him from the front or have him speak. So still just glimpses of the big guy.

I can’t wait for this film. It’s gonna be so darn good! I’m thinking of taking the afternoon off from work just to ensure I’m there opening day. But we’ll see what times my local theater is showing the movie.

Fantastic Four: First Steps is coming to theaters on July 25.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Looks So Damn Good!

Randomly, for all I know, we got a new, full-sized trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps today, and holy cow, it looks so damn good! The characters, the effects, the personal stakes, the drama, the scale and scope; this is one gorgeous trailer, people!

So good! They go into so much, without giving away too much, in my opinion. Or maybe I’m still just too hyped about this trailer. Loved the look at the team, loved the look of the Silver Surfer. I have no problem with Marvel switching from Norrin Radd to Shalla-Bal. Seems a perfectly ordinary and uninteresting change to me. And then we get just enough Galactus tease to make me happy. I love the look, I love the feel, I love the retro-futurism, I love that new theme song; hot damn this looks to be an exciting movie!

First Trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps!

The first trailer is hear and it looks pretty neat! Fantastic Four: First Steps is Marvel’s first family now in the hands of Marvel Studios, as part of the MCU. I have high hopes for this one, as it seems like the most out-there Marvel release of the year. The trailer looks very standard, in my opinion, but could still be fun.

Looks pretty good. Thing doesn’t look perfect. The action and superhero stuff looks pretty standard. But I still like the vibe of the 1960s. And that one look at Galactus was neat. The whole movie should be a good time and nothing is going to dampen my expectations and excitement!

Galactus Cast!

So it looks like Galactus is going to be in the new Fantastic Four movie after all! We already know who’s going to play Silver Surfer, and now we’ve got actor Ralph Ineson as Galactus! I know I’ve seen him in plenty of things, I just can’t really picture anything off the top of my head. He does have a great voice, at least.

He seems like a hungry fellow

This is all fine by me. I know people will say they would have liked Mole Man or someone less all-encompassing for the first villain of the movie, but I’m fine with Galactus an the Silver Surfer. They are some of my all-time favorite comic book characters going back to my childhood, and the world deserves to see them done right on the big screen.

And I have to hope that Marvel knows they need to do Galactus right this time around. Surely they know what must be done…right?!

Anyway, word is that John Malkovitch and Paul Walter Hauser have also been cast in the movie, their roles not yet revealed. Neat! Loving the cast of this movie for sure!

6 Cosmic Characters I Want to See in the Guardians of the Galaxy Game

Monday saw the announcement of an upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy video game. It’s going to be a single player action RPG where you take the movie-lite characters on an adventure through the cosmos. A bunch of cosmic Marvel characters appear in the trailer…and all of them are from the GotG movies.

Surely the game isn’t restricted to just the movies…right?

Everybody loves the movies!

Marvel has a bajillion and one cosmic characters out there in the universe. Surely this game has the rights to include more than just movie characters, right? The Square Enix Avengers game included the likes of Ms. Marvel and Kate Bishop, and they aren’t from the movies…though both have upcoming shows. Oh…oh god. The GotG game is only going to include movie characters. Cosmo, Mantis, Nova Corps, Collector…that’s all we’re going to get! Noooooooo!

Join me after the jump to relieve my disappointment with some awesome cosmic characters who I hope beyond hope get to show up in the Guardians of the Galaxy video game!
