We’ve now had our first glimpse at Josh Tranks Fantastic Four.
Heres everything we know about 2015s most mysterious blockbuster.
Beyond that, many facets of the film remained a mystery.
Yet the reveal of the new trailer finallygave us a few more specifics.
And heres what we know so far…
Even these basic facts are a little complicated.
While the question of who exactly is making this film?
His script for resurrection dramaThe Lazarus Effectwill reach our screens this very year as well.
I think hes just making it work for the screen hes a great story teller.
Despite this tease, the rumblings of a found footage feel were only fully confirmed in June 2014.
Either that, or folk have been fibbing.
He is also a co-producer of the film.
Its unclear exactly whose script remains most intact, but wed wager that Kinbergs expertise had a sizeable impact.
Particularly as the trailer namedrops his work onX-Men: Days Of Future Pastas one of its selling points.
Swapping the typical Caucasian Johnny for an African-American actor sparked some controversy from certain corners of the internet.
Mr Jordan reacted by saying that you just kinda accept it, it is what it is.
You cant make everybody happy.
In the same announcement as Jordans arrival, the previously-rumoured casting of Miles Teller as Mr Fantastic was confirmed.
He will still be a genius though, judging by the scale of the experiments shown in the trailer.
Taking the Jessica Alba role of Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman was Kate Mara (127 Hours).
We catch a couple of glimpses of his familiar rocky look in the trailer.
He also plays baseball pre-accident.
Judging by the trailer, we dont expect a huge percentage, to be honest.
Instead, they seem to be wearing more grounded, less colourful uniforms.
A third act transition into bright blue would be welcome, but perhaps isnt hugely likely.
For starters, weve been told not to expect a plot lifted directly from comics or the previous movies.
So what can we actually expect?
Well, after a falsified synopsis did the rounds, we finally got a proper one in December 2014.
So far, so similar, then.
If you fancy another mystery to ponder, consider how were actually meant to stylise this title.
It doesnt look cool though, of course.
Proper spelling is cool.
Instead, he is portraying Victor Domashev, a very anti-social programmer known as Doom on blogging sites.
Hes going to be American, with some foreign tinges, in this iteration, were led to believe.
Can we assume that the threat the four face will be digital in its origins, then?
We assume Doom must program some pretty serious stuff if it takes a quartet of superheroes to stop him.
Its certainly a possibility.
Will his blog-happy fingertips be endowed with superpowers too, we wonder?
Only time will tell on that one.
Lots of fiery action will unfold at one point, too.
Originally, this film was expected to hit our screens in March 2015.
However, the film was later pushed back to the date of June 19th 2015.
Even more recently, theFantastic Fourreboot was relocated once more to an August 6th 2015 slot.
Wed be surprised if we saw any more for a little while, based on current form.
Less is more seems to be the approach being taken.
It might just work, too.
We would bet against Silver Surfer, too.
I love the characters.
I love the characters inFan Four, and I love the new cast.
Obviously I love the characters and cast ofX-Men.
So its not out of the realm of possibility.
A crossover seems likely to us, but the first post-reboot Fantastic Four movie surely needs to soar first.
Well be sure to pass on any further nuggets of information as we hear them.
In the meantime, heres another look at that trailer which weve been banging on about…
