I've heard News that they're re-booting Fantastic 4, but I really don't understand why. Why is it being re-booted?

Becuase the fantastic four movie are terrible

Because there is a comic book craze in Hollywood right now and they want to make money. Same reason they just remade Spiderman.. same reason they've redone Batman a million times, etc..

they were good for what they were... complete shit to those who wanna dissect movies based on people getting superpowers from cosmic rays.

It it was good for a poorly acted, directed, and written movie


Only good thing to come out of it was Chris evans

u like his body, bro?

Nah, has to be his spectacular acting.

lawl. i used to get him and Ryan Reynolds mixed up.

Because if FOX doesn't make Fantastic Four movies, the movie rights revert to Marvel. It's the same reason there is a Daredevil reboot coming. They need to perpetually make movies for theses franchises every couple of years or Marvel can take them back.

Fox should buy this and release it.

The Fantastic Four films are absolute shit, and deserve a reboot. X-men, especially.

Doctor Doom is one of the greatest villains in all of comic book lore, and they turned him into a cheesy one liner spewing throwaway dork. Silver Surfer was also gimped beyond forgiveness.

Those films were every reason Marvel had to make their own studio.

Ha, yeah they do need to redo these, I didn't think they were awful, but they definitely could've been better.

Heard Adrien "The Nose" Brody is in talks to play Reed Richards.

I felt that everyone was cast perfectly, especially the Thing, with the exception of Jessica Alba. She just seemed so effing out of place, in my opinion.

They should probably go the Ultimate route and make them all younger. That would be a better way to hook the younger fans.

Good idea. The comic angle has been playing that path for a while now.
Making Ben and Johnny the elders of the group would help in character development.

I believe Iron Man was the first solo film from Marvel Studios. Marvel Studios... everything else was a co-production with Fox and such.

Yup and Harvey Dent wasn't black either but Billy Dee Williams played him in Batman.

For me a persons skin color does not matter, but it depends on the role they are playing.
Like Pete Ross on Smallville he wasn't Black but they got a black guy to play him. that is fine.

But i don't think you could pull off a Black superman & black Batman
but the lesser characters sure.

I didn't mind the Fantastic 4 movies but i don't own them. but it would be good to see a little more serious take on it. Same with Spiderman i hated the Tobey Mcguire ones. but the new one looks promising.

Also, my comment was meant to be taken as seriously as you seemed to have taken it... i don't really care about her being Mexican, twas a joke. That said though, i would actually prefer for actors to be as close as possible to the character's physical traits.

Are the Tobey Mcguire ones the originals? You know, spider man 1, 2 & 3? I thought they were good, even spiderman 3, though not as good as the first 2.

Doctor Doom alone is a reason why it need a reboot. He sucked hard in the movies series.

Also, Galactus.

As much as I disliked the F4 movies & as little as I know about the characters from comics, I think Alba did the best she could.
Christ, she played eye-candy & played it well.

The first one was actually Ok, and quite profitable. The second was appalling. Who ever destroyed the story of Silver Surfer and Galactus like that ought to be shot!

I actually like Daredevil. I think a reboot is pointless there. It's not going to be any more financially successful in a reboot.

I wish these studios would just give up and let Marvel take the rights back. But as long as they can even make $100mill profit, that's not going to happen.

thought the first movie was ok, but the sequel is one of the worst comic flicks

LOL at Doom using a revolver. I heard he only straights up shoots people when he thinks they're too pathetic to try and put in a death trap.

FANTASTIC FOUR to share the same universe as X-men

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/movienewsandreviews/news/?a=85630

I personally think the re-boot should be focussed & marketed to a children's audience. Kids too young to appreciate or understand MOS & the Batman/Nolan verse...or for that matter parents who think the superhero franchise is getting too dark to what they remember from their own childhood.

I mean I personally think Reed Richards' elongating powers to be too ridiculous to take seriously in a movie marketed to adults.

Well the Fantastic Four is suppose to be fun & exciting like 'The Incredibles'....which clearly rip off it.

And yet FF had to redo some of their scenes because The Incredibles outshone FF when it came to action sequences using elongating bodies.

I'm hoping if they use Galactus again, We don't get a goddamn cloud.

Keep your fisting fantasies to yourself.

Merging X-men with F4 sounds like a fantastic disaster..

Of course with Fox onboard....



He needs to have that presence like Darth Vader and they better include his origin with him going to a Tibetan monastery.

Hopefully, because they realize Doom is the best villain in all of comics and needs to be done properly.

Dr. Doom.

... if there was ever a role made for Michael Fassbender.

Galactus would be a great vehicle to bring the Avengers and FF together.

Apparently, Michael B. Jordan, a black actor, has been confirmed as Johnny Storm.

Thoughts? I can see the raging fanboy comments coming from the Internet.

He has to be adopted, unless Sue is gonna be black too.

Or maybe they'll use some genetic mumbo jumbo excuse.

I sincerely hope they haven't forgotten that Johnny and Sue are siblings.

No issue with the race, but isn't he kinda young? I always imagined Johnny to be in his late 30's at best. Jordan still looks like he just graduated high school.

And the new FF origin should have a younger crew. Just entering University.
Building up to the fateful journey into space. Focusing more on the rivalry between Doom and Richards. That's how I'd write it.

FF would make a better TV series than a film personally. With the team not having powers until much later into the story.

Do you read FF comics?

Spiderman and Johnny are like the same age.

No I do not.

That's a shock to me. IIRC, he was an USAF pilot before the space trip. You have to be a grown adult to do that.

Unless I'm thinking of Ben?

From memory Ben piloted the ship. Johnny was an expert car driver with a troubled past.
Surprised he was even allowed on the ship. But he was definitely the youngest of the four.

And as Mindset stated he's the around the same age as Peter Parker. Who was a high schooler at the time of his transformation.

Is he really that young? He's younger than me.

Well he has obviously aged throughout the years. 50 yrs of Marvel comics.

But an important comicbook fact is comic characters don't age as fast as throughout the years as we do.

The original X-Men were teenagers as well. Now they are as far as I'm concerned in their 30s. Spidey and Johnny are as well.

Though characters have their ages manipulated at major stages in both the Marvel and DC universes.

They'd delayed the release date from March 2015 to June 2015. I think there's a lot of infighting behind the scenes, regarding casting. Potentially casting black actors as Sue & Johnny, smacks too much of political correctness.

Being a black person, I have to admit it reeks of PC. It's just like James Bond. If people want cool black characters, start writing fiction with cool black characters instead of trying to change established ones.

James Bond is black, you racist.

Racism is the only reason why this film is put back on the shelf.

But why did race need to be brought up in the first place?

Charismatic actors fit certain roles. Race shouldn't be an issue.

But Johnny Storm , brother of Sue Storm was gonna cause controversy no matter what.

The token black guy from Chronicle could work as Johnny.

Kate Mara is hot and isn't a horrible actress, so that's fine.

Bell is a crapish actor and I don't know a thing about the other guy.

the other guy (Miles Teller) is the best actor of the bunch. Personality-wise he would have been a good Johnny.

Nothing been confirmed for the cast just seems to be Fox getting all excited.

Miles Teller has an extremely punchable face

If the movie went for an older reed Richards then James Badge Dale from the Departed and 24 would be an amazing fit.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=51068 The article talks a bit about The Ultimate comics. Thing is Marvel had a chance to make any character in the UMU any race but they mostly stayed with white. They could have done this without much worry also because if fans didn't like the UMU they still had the 616. But like I said they didn't do it. Why do it now? Because it controversial. I don't think Johnny's color should have changed. I know people will disagree with me but I just simply don't like the changing of the race of a character.

Anyways I also have to dispute the "ownership" of the characters comments in the article. Yes Marvel owns the characters and they CAN do anything they want but only to an extent. In a way the consumer does in fact own the rights to the product because if you do something that pi$$es them off enough you stop getting their money. Once the money stops rolling in you either change things to what the fans want or you lose your company that simple. So they can have the "creative rights" but that doesn't mean that the consumer can't dictate what can and can't be done.

FF is owned by fox, not marvel. If marvel owned ff, Johnny would most definitely be white.

I'm more concerned with the studio casting a good actor who can fit the personality of the character than them casting a dunce with the "correct" skintone.

A Black Johnny Storm isn't a problem, imo. The biggest hurdle would be how he ties in to a white sister; which they can easily explain by saying he's adopted or that their mother had a fling with a black-guy and they're half-siblings, as two examples.

your first scenario is a tragic perversion of the story, and the second is not plausible at all considering neither actor looks remotely biracial.

so yeah, i'd say Black Johnny Storm is a big phucking problem.

An 'adoption' explanation is hardly a "tragic perversion of the story", it's so minor that it wouldn't affect much of anything.

There are biracial people who look distinctly black, but the 'mother had a fling' was more of a joke than an actual plausible idea to use.

It would probably be no more a problem than a "Black Heimdall" turned out to be.

okay, it's a minor perversion. Point is, the shit is perverted, Rob.

like who?

Originally posted by marwash22

Fair enough.

Top of my head, Jennifer Beals has a black father and and white mother; she looks caucasian though. It happens.

nah, she doesn't look completely white... you can definitely tell she's partly black, or at least you'd question her ethnicity upon first seeing her. Kate Mara is whitest looking white woman there is, and there's not one person who would question whether Michael B Jordan is anything but black.

Your half-sibling scenario would be plausible if they had cast the likes of Jesse Williams and Rashida Jones.

Most people wouldn't guess she's mixed, but there are other people who are mixed but look strictly like a single.

Adoption works better if they're doing with Mara and a black Johnny, imo.

Rob, stop being a racist.


i agree that adoption is the better option. I still don't care for it tho.

Oh, you, with the clever reversal of blame.

Just take deep breaths, a Black Johnny Storm isn't the end of the world; them making abother FF4 of the same shit-caliber as the first two, might be though.

There probably are. But if this guy nailed it in the adution, why keep looking just because he's black, when the character's skintone doesn't have much to do with anything.

It's not like they cast Idris Elba as Joseph Goebbels in a WW2 film or Jeremy Renner as Martin Luther King Jr.

from what i hear, the director was gonna cast Michael in the role no matter what, due to friendship; his and all other auditions were irrelevant.

That ****ing Mouthwash, I should have known better.

Rob, don't listen to whiteset.

The Fantastic Four have potential to become the next major blockbuster, especially considering X-Men crossover possibilities. I sure hope Fox knows what it's doing.

You know even if the cast was well received, this film has other things going against it. It's a reboot of a franchise most people consider to be meh and it's set to come out in a summer that's jammed pack with movies. Comes out about a month after Avengers 2. Comes out the same day as Pixar's Inside Out. So that's gonna cost them the family audience. And Terminator 5 and Jurassic World are also coming out around that time as well.

The Incredible Hulk underperformed at the box office for pretty much this reason. Being a reboot of a movie most people still had a bad taste in their mouths from. Coming out in between Iron Man and The Dark Knight. And movies such as Hancock, Wall-e, and Wanted coming out during the following weeks.

This is one of the movies that I am really waiting for. It will really give us an idea about the abilities of "Josh Trank" as a director.

His ability level is at 7

Kate Mara is one of my favorite actressess. She is talented(gorgeous as well)I was tired of seeing her take a back seat, to her younger sis. Though I am not bothered by the casting but what seems interesting is I heard the grapvine, that there was some intent on turning Dr. Doom into a female

I really liked all the characters in the fantastic 4 movies, unfortunately the actual movies writing and directing sucked ass, especially the last one. All we saw of galactus was a image and he was defeated by silver surfer WTF man. The series has potential but suffers from stupid directors and crap story lines.

Understand. I was a little shocked especially at a site such as IMDB. People are ripping Michael B Jordan apart as the new Human Torch.

Please, please be true. If this happens, Fox has almost no chance to create a F4 movie in time and the right will revert back to Marvel.

Holy shit. I just clicked the link to the FF imdb comments and its almost unbelievable.

First time on the IMDB message boards I take it? lol

It's almost always like that.

That said the casting choices are pretty awful. Especially the choice for Mr. Fantastic.

I'm very familiar with imdb but I never really cared for FF so I never visited the page until today.

So Fantastic Four will be a big budget advertisement for environmental organizations. Mole Man is great, but bad for a film adaption

And the Depection of Galactus was a Mile High Abomination.
The furthest damn thing that had 0 resemblance to Galactus.

One of the worst depections of a Super Villain in Comic Books Movies History.

Also Doctor Doom was not done justice at all. Really are you freakin kidding me his skin is detoriating from the radiation.

Marvel will be cancelling all the current F4 books in order to try and reclaim the movie rights

this is just ****en stupid....

i fail to see what comic books have to do with movie rights.

well Its atleast a way to side with the fans, so I don't see a problem with their decision because the casting certainly doesn't show any kind of fan consideration. Nobody cares about the fantastic four anyway. No real loss
