10 Previous Mistakes To Avoid In The Fantastic Four Reboot
6. The Need To Create Anticipation For The Next Film
Impressively, Fox have already decided to make a sequel to the as-yet-untitled reboot movie, and even given it a release date. Now let's see some thought go into what might take place in that sequel. Marvel has practically perfected the art of the teasing post-credits sequence, and Sonys Spider-Man movies old and new were remarkably adept at introducing characters who audiences could see as becoming the antagonists for sequels and beyond. More than that, Marvels cinematic universes push plot points onwards from film to film. First Loki fights the god of thunder in the Thor movie, and falls to an uncertain fate. Then the tesseract appears in Captain America: The First Avenger, and is lost. Then Loki reappears to reclaim the tesseract in The Avengers, whose events lead us into Marvels Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Iron Man 3. We already have the go-ahead for a second film featuring these characters, and its guaranteed that Fox has tied the cast into a contract for more than one film. Give us an arc plot. Lets see where this goes.
