Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot finally comes our way this Thursday (Friday for our friends in the States), and a new trailer has been released, giving us an extended look at this new take on Marvel’s First Family. What’s more, there’s also a cheeky cameo from Deadpool, pimping the fact his trailer will be attached to the movie.
While persistent rumours have soured many people on this reboot, I do have to congratulate it for doing something none of the big blockbusters this Summer could pull off: all of the many trailers haven’t given away any big spoilers. Look back, we know just the basics, nothing approaching a spoiler has been ruined for us. Hell, even Toby Kebbell’s big bad, Doom, has been relatively absent from the advertising. No matter how the movie turns out, this is a big tick in the win column for me.
Released: August 6th (IRL/U.K.)/August 7th (U.S.)
Synopsis: FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.
