Fox has finally dropped a trailer on us for the new Josh Trank reboot of the Fantastic Four franchise. The only thing the first Fantastic Four film had right was the comedic family dynamic from the comics. This film, at least as it’s depicted in this teaser is much darker and serious, more in line with the X-Men films. Chronicle was a fantastic film so I have high hopes for this fantastic Four installment but the tone just doesn’t seem right. This franchise is an opportunity for a fun family story with great action and humor. If this is a dark “me too” film I’m afraid Fox might be missing an opportunity. As I said, I’m still staying positive because the director has a great pedigree in this space. Check out the trailer!
