Fantastic Four movie rumor
A report has been circulating that dictates the new Fantastic Four movie will still feature Ben "The Thing" Grimm and Johnny "Human Torch" Storm, but will substitute Reed and Sue with their son and daughter, Franklin and Valeria. The big reasoning behind this switcheroo is because Fox apparently wants to start cashing in on the kid-friendly market the last Fantastic Four reboot didn't exactly corner. So along with the protagonists comes a change in tone, which aims more for the kiddos in a vein similar to The Incredibles.The surprises don't stop there, as a previous writer/director on The Flash, Seth Grahame-Smith, is the man supposedly behind this new Fantastic Four script for Fox. But in addition to those credentials, Smith was also known as the writer who helped polish the Josh Trank reboot of Fantastic Four that didn't do so well back in 2015. While this is all rumor, courtesy of a trusted Bleeding Cool source, it does seem like something that Fox would do in order to keep their stake in the franchise.
