Predicting The Next 10 Comic Book Movies From Worst To Best

10. Fantastic Four (August 7, 2015)

What We Know: It wasn't until January that we got our first look at the Josh Trank's rebooted Fantastic Four, which ended up posing more questions than it answered. Looking more like a straight-up sci-fi than a comic book movie, it seems that the director is looking to establish a more grounded, somber and realistic tone.

The trailers did show off some neat character moments, and Trank has four great actors playing the titular team, but a recent set of rumors from the set suggest that the has director struggled with the project, and there is always the danger that the movie will stray too far into serious territory, forgetting to be fun in the process.

The Prediction: After leaving or being removed from his Star Wars movie (depending on who you believe), reports suggest that Trank was having trouble adjusting from his $12m debut Chronicle to a $150m studio blockbuster. 

Words like 'erratic', 'isolated', 'indecisive' and 'uncommunicative' were used, with producer Simon Kinberg becoming heavily involved in the most recent round of reshoots. While the jury is still out on Fantastic Four, disharmony on set very rarely yields great results.

Predicted Rating: 5.5/10
