There have been rumours for a while now about Franklin Richards factoring into The Fantastic Four: First Steps and we now have new intel on how the son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm Richards will be linked to the reboot's villain, Galactus.
According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH (meaning we're taking this with a hefty pinch of salt), the World Eater summons Marvel's First Family by sending the Silver Surfer to Earth, demanding they bring Franklin to him.
If they refuse, then he'll destroy their planet. As for what he wants with the boy, that isn't revealed, though we can look to the comics for clues.
So far, it appears Marvel Studios is pulling inspiration from "Earth X," a reality which saw Shalla-Bal become Silver Surfer, by creating a connection between Frankin and the world-eating baddie.
In that world, the incredibly powerful young mutant agreed to let the High Evolutionary transform...

We may have been treated to some official footage from The Fantastic Four: First Steps yesterday evening (albeit through unofficial means), but the latest set footage - once again taken from afar - is also generating a fair bit of buzz among fans.
While we'd assumed Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm was being filmed with the young Franklin Richards in her arms after taking a fall, it instead appears they're lying in bed.
That raises several questions, including why the scene would be shot in the open. Perhaps the Invisible Woman is comforting the child by using her force field powers to float around outside? That's one way to settle a baby!
It's tough to say from this distance but we're sure the video will generate even more fan theories...

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Cast Shares Video Message At D23 As The Team's Costumes Are Revealed

Marvel Studios brought a message from the cast of The Fantastic Four: First Steps to D23 and it features a first look at the costumes which will be worn by Marvel's First Family in the upcoming reboot.
Only Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm is suited up, but we get a great look at how the design has evolved since the concept art teaser dropped. It's a cool design, and while we'd imagine this is just one of at least a couple of costumes the team wears, it's hard to find fault with the 1960s-inspired aesthetic (especially with that iconic logo front and centre).
As best we can tell, Pedro Pascal is also in costume; however, he's in clothing that's appropriate for The Fantastic Four: First Steps' setting rather than a superhero uniform.
Back to Quinn, though, and it seems he's wearing a blonde wig as Johnny to bring the hotheaded...

The same photographer who recently provided us with an early look at The Fantastic Four: First Steps UK set has today posted photos showing an actor they believe is Vanessa Kirby.
She's blonde and appears to be wearing the same blue costume we saw in that first look concept art for the reboot, so we'd say there's a good chance this is indeed the Mission: Impossible star. If not, then it's likely a stunt double.
We're unsure whether cameras were rolling but it looks like the Invisible Woman is cradling a baby as she falls to the ground.
That baby could be significant too because there have been rumblings for a while now that The Fantastic Four: First Steps will feature Reed and Sue's young son, Franklin Richards. On the page, he's an incredibly powerful mutant with the ability to reshape and create realities, potentially making him a crucial part...

Work continues on The Fantastic Four: First Steps and two newly released set videos show the construction of the team's Excelsior launchpad, New York's Times Square, and possibly even the home of Ben Grimm, Yancy St.
These are massive sets, but likely a necessity given the reboot's unique aesthetic. Set on an alternate Earth, the movie takes place during the 1960s, albeit with a retro-futuristic style (no doubt thanks to how Marvel's First Family have changed their reality).
You'll notice that shipping containers have created a wall around the set and those will be to stop photographers or fans from catching any of the action. There will also be measures to stop drones like the one used to shoot these videos from hovering above.
However, if and when The Fantastic Four: First Steps does shoot on location, it's then we'll likely get a first look at Marvel Studios' take on the iconic superhero team.

During Marvel Studios' Hall H panel at the San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, it was confirmed that Michael Giacchino will compose the score for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
He's no stranger to the MCU, or superheroes in general for that matter, after previously working on the likes of Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Batman (he also stepped behind the camera to make a splash as Werewolf by Night's director).
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a particularly interesting project for Giacchino because many of you will know him best for Pixar's The Incredibles franchise. Marvel's First Family heavily inspired those movies, so what does that mean for the composer's approach to Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny?
"They're similar and different in many, many ways," Giacchino acknowledged in an interview with Nerd Reactor. "There's definitely room for both in the world. Those are two where I'll have my feet in both of those.

Production on The Fantastic Four: First Steps began in London today and we now have the first photos from set. These appear to have been taken with a drone as we see the Baxter Building's "Excelsior" launch pad being constructed from above.
A recently revealed city map for this alternate reality 1960s New York City confirmed it sits adjacent to the Baxter Building and is presumably where the team takes off in the Fantasticar when setting off on adventures together.
That iconic "4" logo will glow blue in sunlight by the looks of it and, elsewhere, it appears Marvel Studios is constructing whole city streets. Given how unique this take on the Big Apple appears to be, this was likely the only option and makes more sense than shooting on location.
It's possible we'll eventually see the cast suited up, similar to when Deadpool & Wolverine was shooting in the UK. For now,...

There was a time when movie studios rarely shared the footage screened in Hall H at Comic-Con with fans online.
However, when the Suicide Squad trailer almost immediately leaked in 2015, it forced Warner Bros.' hand (which was unprecedented at the time) and we've since grown used to those sneak peeks hitting social media right after their San Diego premieres.
Yesterday evening, Marvel Studios showcased Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Footage was shown from each of those movies, only for none of it to be released online!
It's just like old times today, though, as the early pre-production footage for the Fantastic Four reboot is currently doing the rounds on social media. While we're unable to share the footage with you here, it can be found on r/LeaksAndRumors.

Marvel Studios showed some very early footage from The Fantastic Four: First Steps at Comic-Con yesterday (you can read a full description here) and we now have a first look at the McU's Baxter Building!
The movie, which takes place in a retro-future '60s' setting, doesn't take place on Earth-616. However, with Marvel's First Family confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, it's clear they're going to play a big role in the Multiverse Saga.
Whether the Sacred Timeline will get its own Baxter Building remains to be seen; we see here just how different the alternate reality New York looks, though, and the team's base is arguably way cooler than Avengers Tower.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman explained why this movie won't deliver yet another origin story.

If there's a big tentpole property on television or film, chances are high that Pedro Pascal is either in it or was at one point, up for a role.
It seems whenever there's a major role to be cast, Pascal's name inevitably surfaces at some point.
Case in point, he'll be seen in Avengers: Doomsday which is scheduled to be released on May 1, 2026, and The Mandalorian & Grogu, which is slated to arrive in theaters on May 22, 2026- arguably the two biggest films releasing that year.
And those films will come after Pascal has been seen in The Wild Robot, Gladiator II, season 2 of The Last of Us, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
As someone who can seemingly join any franchise he wants,THR asked Pascal why he said yes to the McU's Fantastic Four reboot.

Undoubtedly, the biggest shock of the night from Marvel Studios' Hall H panel at Sdcc was the news that Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. would be returning to the MCU. However, he won't be returning as Tony Stark, instead, he'll be portraying an alternate universe version of Doctor Doom.
Downey Jr.'s Doom is confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, however, online rumors have already swirled that Rdj's new character will actually show up first in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Several online scoopers are reporting that they received inside info about Downey's return but didn't feel confident enough to post the news before Marvel made the official announcement.
Collider caught up with The Fantastic Four director Matt Shakman, shortly after the Sdcc panel and asked whether he knew about Robert Downey Jr.'s return, prior to the Hall H extravaganza.
"It’s incredible exciting.

Marvel Studios didn't drop any new artwork for The Fantastic Four during its Hall H panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, but the upcoming reboot does have an intriguing new title: The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Needless to say, with rumours swirling that we'll meet Franklin and Valeria Richards in the movie, we can't help wondering whether they're who that's referring to.
While filming isn't scheduled to begin until Tuesday (that's now confirmed), some very early test footage was shared exclusively with fans at the event which showed the heroes preparing for a space mission. At one point, Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards is teaching a science class with what's been described as "an old-school accent."
As expected, The Fantastic Four: First Steps will take place in an alternate reality New York City set in a retro/future 1960s.
Also shown in the teaser was a comic-accurate Galactus peering through...

Five years after Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, Marvel Studios Chief Kevin Feige finally introduced MCU version of The Fantastic Four on the Hall H stage Saturday night at Comic-Con.
Feige kicked the segment off by fibbing that the cast couldn’t make it because filming is set to begin next week in the U.K., but revealed “our director was willing to fly all through the night,” introducing Matt Shakman to the stage.
Shakman acknowledged that there’s no actual footage from the film, but said he’d put together a pre-vis clip to get the tone of the film across — though if that’s pre-vis it’s really polished. Because it resembled something close to a short film that might end up (we hope) on the blu-ray, made up of fictional newsreel footage clearly set in the 1960s — of course it might also just look like the 60s (more on that momentarily.

Marvel Studios is not intending to play around after the sub-optimal run that the brand has been dealing with lately. Not only is the studio proudly touting around its just released Deadpool & Wolverine with a surprise Sdcc screening along with cameo guests but upon the company’s return to Hall H, some Fantastic Four teasing would be in the cards for the fans. Pedro Pascal had recently released a wholesome group photo of Marvel’s first family as the cast members for Matt Shakman’s upcoming The Fantastic Four had recently gotten together.
Now, Deadline reveals that our world has gotten a little preview of what it’s like when the grand-scale villain of The Fantastic Four looms over the San Diego sky. Marvel would give fans a display of an illuminated drone show, which came together to form the shape of Galactus, the planet-eating threat of the Fantastic Four comics.

Marvel Studios screened Deadpool & Wolverine for lucky fans in Hall H yesterday evening and, to wrap up Thursday's Comic-Con offerings, the streets of San Diego were lit up with an epic drone show.
That culminated with the surprise appearance of Galactus, The Fantastic Four logo, and a message for fans to stay tuned for even bigger reveals during Marvel Studios' panel this Saturday.
While The Fantastic Four has only recently started shooting, we're hearing that a sizzle reel is possible along with a first look at Marvel's First Family suited up. Back to this drone show and not only is this our first glimpse at the McU's Galactus, but it also serves as confirmation we're getting a comic-accurate take on the villain instead of another cloud!
Take a closer look at the massive Galactus' arrival in San Diego in the X post below.

Marvel Studios gave fans a good reason to stand in line overnight on Friday with a light show that essentially confirmed “Fantastic Four” villain Galactus is coming to Hall H on Saturday.

The drone show took place immediately after the special screening of “Deadpool & Wolverine” held in Hall H Thursday night, and fittingly began with imagery celebrating that film. But near the end, the display changed, projecting “Saturday, Hall H” in the sky. Then the lights morphed into the purple of Galactus as the character’s trademark white eyes began to shine.

As one Marvel Studios blockbuster storms into theaters this weekend, filming has now commenced on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's future as it's being reported that cameras are now rolling on The Fantastic Four, which opens in theaters exactly one year from today!
To mark the occasion, star Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic) shared the first full cast photo of Marvel's First Family, featuring himself alongside Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Ebon Ross-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/Thing), and Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch).
While plot details remain scarce, the film will be a period piece set during the 1960s. It's also been heavily hinted that it will be in a different timeline, presumably meaning that the events of the film will not take place in the Sacred Timeline of Earth-616.

Marvel’s “The Fantastic Four” cast has officially assembled in person as the comic book tentpole gets underway. Pedro Pascal shared a photo on Instagram of the core foursome together with the following message to fans: “Our first mission together.” It would appear that Marvel unsurprisingly has a multi-film plan in store for this cast.
Directed by “WandaVision” helmer Matt Shakman, “The Fantastic Four” is set to star Pascal as Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (aka the Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (aka the Thing). The supporting cast includes Ralph Ineson, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne and Julia Garner.
Production on “The Fantastic Four” had long been eyed for a late July start in London. The movie has a script by Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan and Ian Springer. While plot details remain under wraps,...

The Fantastic Four begins shooting in the UK later this month, though whether we'll eventually get to see Marvel's First Family in set photos remains to be seen.
Still, the door is open to the cast showing up for Comic-Con this weekend, even if it's far too early for any footage. Marvel Studios is bound to do something to hype the reboot up in Hall H, anyway, and Kevin Feige just shared some new comments about the project with CinemaBlend.
"Matt Shakman is very, very good at utilizing visual effects," he started. "The most important thing for us...the stretching's gotta look cool, the rocky exterior of The Thing has got to look cool, the flames have got to look cool. [But] it's all about the characters.

Jamie Bell and Kate Mara became a couple while shooting 2015's disastrous Fantastic Four reboot, perhaps the only good thing to come out of a movie plagued by studio interference.
Neither they nor co-stars Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, and Toby Kebbell have shied away from sharing their disdain for the movie. However, both Bell and Mara are eager to see the upcoming Marvel Studios reboot.
"We're excited," Mara, who played Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, told Variety. "It's a great cast."
Bell, who transformed into The Thing, was quick to point out that he doesn't think The Fantastic Four should be considered a "reboot" and was quick to take a shot at the 2015 effort directed by Josh Trank while explaining why. "It doesn’t feel like a reboot to me because to reboot something it had to have been something. Unfortunately, our film doesn’t exist in any particular canon,...

Tom Cruise wanted to work with Steven Spielberg again after their success with Minority Report and offered the director three options of films to create together. One of the choices was an adaptation of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds. It was Spielberg’s third film exploring the subject of alien invasion and Josh Friedman delivered a screenplay, which was then rewritten by David Koepp.

We're now just over a year from Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four hitting theaters, marking the long-awaited (and long-overdue) return of Marvel's First Family to our screens.
The last time they assembled was in 2015's disastrous reboot; what was meant to be an Ultimate Universe-inspired body-horror take on the heroes ended up an utter disaster due to studio interference, derailing up-and-coming filmmaker Josh Trank's career in the process.
Before that, there was Fantastic Four in 2005 and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer two years later in 2007. The movies were very much a product of their time but still have their fair share of fans given the way they embraced the comics.
The mid-2000s movies were led by Ioan Gruffudd (Mister Fantastic), Jessica Alba (Invisible Woman), Chris Evans (Human Torch), and Michael Chiklis (The Thing).

Comic-Con is just weeks away and the first banners promoting the event have been spotted in San Diego. As you'll see below, Marvel Studios is teasing The Fantastic Four with some cool artwork featuring Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic and Johnny Storm/Human Torch.
A second banner showcases Sue Storm/Invisible Woman and Ben Grimm/The Thing, with the former depicted as being invisible and the latter's profile offering a better idea of how he'll look in the MCU. It's comic-accurate and a design closer to his earlier comic book appearances.
Also of note is that, beneath The Fantastic Four's logo, we see one for "The Future Foundation."
Speculation that the group would appear in the reboot started doing the rounds when Marvel Studios shared a piece of artwork by Ryan Meinerding featuring the Human Torch back in April.

Joseph Quinn was in good company as he was welcomed into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The British actor praised his A Quiet Place: Day One co-star Lupita Nyong’o after she gave him some advice when he was cast as Johnny Storm (aka The Human Torch) in the upcoming Fantastic Four.
“She said that I’m going to have a blast and to enjoy it,” Quinn told People. “She was very helpful when I was considering all of that stuff. She’s obviously part of that world and spoke about her experience with a lot of fondness, so it was encouraging.”
His casting in the upcoming Matt Shakman-helmed MCU reboot was confirmed in February, along with Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (aka The Invisible Woman) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (aka The Thing).

‘The Fantastic Four’ will be a 1960s-set superhero tale.Comic book movie fans were sent into a frenzy when Marvel released a poster for the upcoming installment in the franchise on Valentine’s Day that showed its characters in a period home setting, with some speculating at the time it looked as if the film was going to make a comment on America’s family dynamics in the ’60s.A handful of their theories have now been confirmed by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, 51, who told ‘The Official Marvel Podcast’: “‘The Fantastic Four’ will be a period piece set in New York City. “However, it’s probably not the New York City many are familiar with.“There was another piece of art we released with Johnny Storm flying in the air making a ‘4’ symbol and there was a cityscape in the corner of that image.“There were a lot...

As The Fantastic Four nears production, Marvel’s Kevin Feige has addressed some of the rumours regarding the film.
Marvel Studios has launched an official podcast (creatively titled The Official Marvel Podcast) and the studio’s chief Kevin Feige pops up in the first episode to seemingly confirm a suspicion that fans have been harbouring for a long time regarding the setting of the soon-to-shoot adaptation of The Fantastic Four.
Kevin Feige revealed that the film will officially start production at the end of July, the day after San Diego Comic Con. Yep, that probably means that the film’s stars will be arriving in Hall H to be revealed in front of a rather excited audience before jetting off to wherever the film’s shooting.
The stars in question are Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm.

Comic book movie fans have more or less assumed that Marvel’s upcoming “The Fantastic Four” will be a 1960s-set superhero story thanks to the illustrated posters the studio has put out on social media. Now that fact is being confirmed by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. Speaking on “The Official Marvel Podcast” (via EW), Feige revealed “The Fantastic Four” will be a period piece set in New York City. However, it’s probably not the New York City many are familiar with.
“There was another piece of art we released with Johnny Storm flying in the air making a 4 symbol and there was a cityscape in the corner of that image,” Feige said. “There were a lot of smart people who noticed that that cityscape didn’t look exactly like the New York that we know, or the New York that existed in the ‘60s in our world. Those are smart observations,...

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has appeared as a guest on the first edition of the Official Marvel Podcast. While there were few talking points beyond his excitement for Deadpool & Wolverine, we do have a significant update on The Fantastic Four.
After praising filmmaker Matt Shakman (WandaVision), Feige revealed, "We start shooting at the end of July. The day after Comic-Con [International: San Diego] is the first day of filming on Fantastic Four."
Does that close the door on Marvel's First Family assembling in Hall H? Seeing as Feige also confirmed that production is set to take place in London, we wouldn't bank on anything more than a video message...assuming Marvel Studios event attends the event!
Elsewhere in the interview, the executive confirmed that The Fantastic Four takes place in an alternate-reality 1960s.

It's become obvious in recent weeks that it will take a miracle for Blade to meet its November 7, 2025 release date. Disney has also confirmed that only three MCU movies will be released a year moving forward, meaning 2025 will likely belong to Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and The Fantastic Four.
The latter hasn't even started shooting yet, leading to fears among fans that the reboot will slip from July and take Blade's place in November.
Now, though, we have a positive update from Human Torch actor Joseph Quinn. "I can’t say anything, they will come for the people I care about," he began before adding, "Gladiator is finished, that’s done. It was an amazing experience and we are about to start 'Fantastic Four' in the end of July."

Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four is gearing up to begin shooting any week now and we're all hoping that they get this thing right and finally do right by Marvel's First Family on screen.
20th Century Fox dropped the ball three times, but a compelling sign that the heroes are finally being taken seriously is what's shaping up to be one of the McU's best casts to date.
Andor and The Bear star Ebon Moss-Bachrach is playing Ben Grimm/The Thing, a role which will largely rely on motion capture. As you might expect, there's not much the actor can say about the role right now, but he did share some tongue-in-cheek details about his preparation during a recent interview.
"I'm playing Ben Grimm, who becomes The Thing, who is a man encased in rock. So, yeah, I don't know, I've just been looking at rocks," Moss-Bachrach joked. "I've been reading a lot of comics.

The three (four if you count the one which was never officially released) previous Fantastic Four movies all put the spotlight on Doctor Doom.
He's one of the Marvel Universe's greatest villains, but it's time for something new and that's why Galactus taking centre stage in Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four has generated so much excitement. Plus, in place of a cloud, he'll be portrayed by The First Omen and Nosferatu star Ralph Ineson.
The actor has already commented on the role briefly on social media but talked more about playing the McU's Galactus in a recent interview with The Movie Dweeb.
"I’m not someone who knows the whole lore of Marvel," Ineson admitted. "My son is an expert. He’s been schooling me for the last couple of months. I read the script and I was like, 'It’s cool as f*ck.'"

We're now just over a year from Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four arriving in theaters and excitement is rapidly building to see Marvel's First Family back on the big screen.
The last time they assembled was in 2015's disastrous reboot; what was meant to be an Ultimate Universe-inspired body-horror take on the heroes ended up falling apart due to studio interference, derailing up-and-coming filmmaker Josh Trank's career in the process.
Before that, we got Fantastic Four in 2005 and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer two years later in 2007. The movies were very much a product of their time but still have their fair share of fans.
Jessica Alba played Sue Storm, a.k.a. the Invisible Woman, in those and looked back fondly at the role in a recent interview with ComicBook.com.
"It's nothing but fond memories," she told the site. "I loved it so much playing that character.

After a seven year absence from the big screen, the "Planet of the Apes" franchise returned this summer with director Wes Ball's "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes." Set generations after the events of the Caesar trilogy, this latest entry represents the start of something new for the long-running sci-fi series. For those who might have missed the movie in theaters — or for those who just want to revisit the film — Disney's 20th Century Studios has announced when that will be possible.
And that's good news, since it will be available to watch from the comfort of home sooner rather than later. Whether you want to go the Digital route or pick up a copy to add to the old physical media shelf, you'll be covered. A new trailer was released to celebrate the forthcoming release, which you can check out below. Let's get into the details.

Joseph Quinn put himself on the map with a standout performance as Eddie Munson in Netflix's Stranger Things, but by far his biggest role will be as Johnny Storm, a.k.a the Human Torch, in Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four.
If all goes to plan, it's a character he'll portray for the next decade or more; however, in an interview with GQ, Quinn admits, "That was a surprising phone call." While he's still processing landing the role (previously brought to life on screen by Chris Evans and Michael B. Jordan), he notes that "the wheels are getting moving" on the project.
"I’ve met Ebon very briefly, Vanessa I have lots of mutual friends with," Quinn says of his co-stars. He already knows Pedro Pascal because they've worked on Ridley Scott's Gladiator sequel together, but there's one cast member, in particular, he's thrilled to share the screen with: John Malkovich.

Marvel Studios first announced plans to reboot the Fantastic Four in 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic and Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts' decision to leave the project slowed things down, but The Fantastic Four is finally heading our way next year.
WandaVision's Matt Shakman will be at the helm, and a first-look promo image confirmed it takes place in the 1960s...and in another reality.
Fans had long wondered how Marvel Studios would go about introducing Marvel's First Family, with the prevailing theory being that they might have gained their powers during The Blip. Instead, they'll hail from another Earth altogether.
That doesn't mean they won't eventually make their way to a more familiar setting, of course.
According to The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez, "The Fantastic Four are going to be key players in the Multiverse Saga and in Secret Wars. The film will also be a pivotal addition...

Marvel's First Family hasn't had much luck on screen. There was the infamous 1994 Fantastic Four movie produced by the late Roger Corman which never officially saw the light of day and then the big budget 2005 and 2007 movies starring Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffudd and Michael Chiklis.
Those weren't great and were a product of their time; so, when a reboot from Chronicle director Josh Trank rolled around in 2015, there was a fair bit of excitement among fans.
The trailers promised a body-horror tale but studio-mandated reshoots turned it into a mess.
The team has sat on the shelf ever since, though that will finally change next year with Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four. Filmmaker Matt Shakman has assembled an impressive A-List cast, including Black Bird and Cruella star Paul Walter Hauser.
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor admitted that those awful past efforts made him think twice about starring in this latest reboot.

Breaking Bad and The Boys star Giancarlo Esposito recently revealed he's joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a mystery role. A few hours ago, a rumour cropped up claiming he'll star in a Disney+ TV series and the actor himself has now confirmed that is indeed the case.
"The MCU has knocked on my door and it's a role you won’t predict," Esposito told fans during a recent convention appearance. "It will be teased and there will be a series afterwards."
This appears to debunk theories he'll voice Norman Osborn in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man as there's nowhere for that villain to be teased before the animated series launches on the streamer either this year or next.
Interestingly, the fan who shared these updates adds that when someone mentioned to Esposito that he'd make an "excellent" Doctor Doom in The Fantastic Four, he mentioned "talking it into existence and making yourself believe in it.

This appears to debunk theories he'll voice Norman Osborn in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man as there's nowhere for that villain to be teased before the animated series launches on the streamer either this year or next.

Rahul Kohli was close to joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the actor tried out for a role in the upcoming The Fantastic Four.
The actor from iZombie and The Fall of the House of Usher recently revealed he was being considered for the role of Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards.
“Yeah, I don’t know if I’m allowed to talk about it but I didn’t get it, is the important thing. But on good days, I see the Constantine,” Kohli said in an interview with Salaam Nerds. “It will flare up once and again. And, I love all of them. On good days, you’re like, ‘Man, I’m wanted!’ People really want to see. You’re the guy that people will shout out for anything.”
He continued, “On bad days, ‘It’s a reminder that you’re not the guy. You’re not there. These are the roles you’ll never get.

After seemingly endless rumours, Marvel Studios finally announced The Fantastic Four cast earlier this year. Each of them had been linked to the reboot at one time or another, so there were no major surprises for those who had been closely following the casting process.
Oppenheimer star David Krumholtz has confirmed he tried and failed to play the McU's Thing, and now Midnight Mass star Rahul Kohli has revealed that he missed out on being cast as Mister Fantastic.
He was long a fan favourite choice for Reed Richards and, in the video below, admits to being beaten to the part by The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal.
