Fantastic Four General News & Discussion Thread (TAG SPOILERS)

^ i would argue that Galactus didnt feel complete in his last iteration as he was literally a cloud.

as to these rumours being false or true, the Marvels trailer came out today and it revealed the leaks were true. Which lends some credibility to some of the rumours we have been hearing. All 99 million of them. I have a strong gut feeling we will hear more news about the casting and about F4 in general during SDCC which is only 3 months away - Wed, Jul 19, 2023 - Sun, Jul 23, 2023

What are those true leaks?

I meant what might be the legit leaks for Marvel Studios' 4?

The rumors I have the most confidence in at this moment (partly because they’re being reported and partly because they make sense):

1. It will be big and cosmic with a sci-fi feel.
2. Galactus and Surfer will make appearances.
3. Will be influenced by Kirby/Lee
4. Ben will be played by a Jewish actor.

I know its been a long while since we saw the Silver Surfer and Galactus.

But I'd like to see other Fantastic 4 characters first before Doctor Doom, the Silver Surfer and Galactus.

 

[Originalavenger]

Any ideas when we might get some real solid info on fantastic 4 castings?? I was more of a 4 guy then x men

 

[Spider-Fan]

Hopefully soon, but who knows. Has to be by SDCC this year, right?

 

[Willie Lumpkin]

At this point, I’m going to assume they’ll do a presentation at SDCC.

I was hoping for something a lot sooner, but now that we’re only a few months away, I’d be willing to bet the current plan is for SDCC.

I am actually more of an X Men fan but more excited for F4 to redeem themselves as X Men reached cinematic perfection thrice with X2, First Class, and Days of Future Past.

Fantastic Four has yet to deliver anything remotely on par with The Incredibles and that is a travesty. F4 is tonally far from The Fly and SO Not a body horror. I am tired of campy. Bring on a F4 like the aforementioned X movies and make it something like Star Trek with family dynamics. Its MCU so it will have humour but dont overdo it and force jokes at every bloody moment.

Yeah, Incredibles is so old now that there’s no excuse for F4 to not have matched it by now.

One potential caveat with Comic Con. is the looming strikes, especially the screen actors guild. It would be very awkward having any panel, while people are picketing.

Cool thanks everyone

Which characters would you like to see?

 

[Stark Bauer]

Which characters would you like to see?

Annihilus or Mole Man

 

[psylockolussus]

Which characters would you like to see?

Mole Man, Puppet Man, Blastaar and Annihilus.

 

[Iceman]

Annihilus or Mole Man

Mole Man, Puppet Man, Blastaar and Annihilus.

Sounds good. Scaling up to the higher level characters works for me. I’d like some reference to Victor at least in the first film, even if he doesn’t appear. No need for Galactus this early.

 

[psylockolussus]

They could use Blastaar to tease Galactus instead of heading straight to the Silver Surfer.

 

[Spider-Fan]

How would Blaastar tease Galactus? Traditionally they don't have anything to do with one another

 

[Stark Bauer]

If Molecule Man is a F4 villain i will add him to the list of potential villains for the first movie

 

[Stark Bauer]

MCU/Feige have an uncanny way of breaking from tradition/comic book lore

 

[psylockolussus]

I have miXed up TerraX with Blastaar. But yeah that TerraX instead heading straight to the Silver Surfer to tease/set up Galactus for future movies.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Terrax works better as future antagonist of a Surfer movie than a FF movie villain
