We have ourselves another fan trailer for Fantastic Four. Marvel’s First Family has yet to be given a proper big-screen treatment after a corny early ‘90s movie, two Tim Story entries that are mostly remembered for featuring a pre-Cap Chris Evans and a notoriously troubled 2015 version from Josh Trank.
Now that Disney bought 20th Century Fox, Marvel owns the rights to the characters so hopefully we will get a definitive new vision of the story. And just in time. With Captain America and Iron Man out of the picture (For the time being), Marvel is looking for recognizable Marvel characters to help fill the void.
As for casting, the most-talked about names have been real-life husband and wife John Krasinski and Emily Blunt as Reed Richards and Sue Storm respectively. We Got This Covered reported on the pair being top candidates for well over a year now. A fan trailer released a year ago features both of them in the roles and Krasinski recently expressed interest in playing Mr. Fantastic.
Ironically, Krasinski was nearly cast as Cap before Evans won the part. Blunt was also previously attached to another Marvel superhero. She very nearly became Black Widow. But due to scheduling conflicts on another project, she was forced to back out paving the way for Scarlett Johanson. What could have been. They may get another shot.
We also got a second fan trailer a couple of weeks ago with Patrick Wilson playing Richards and Blunt in the Storm part. Wilson is an interesting candidate, but I don’t think Marvel would pass on the chance to cast a real husband and wife who have tremendous star power and chemistry.
This new fan trailer for Fantastic Four has Krasinski and Blunt, but it also features Ansel Elgort as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch. Elgort knows how to play cocky but they could do better.
Kevin Feige and company are taking their time with this property and for good reason. They need to get it right this time. Until then, all we have are these cool fan trailers.
