One of the other things that appeared to be a fall out of that realism angle that didn't end up coming through as heavily as expected was that this new Fantastic Four were allegedly going to be costume-less. Not naked, this isn't the terrible Fantastic Four film, but that they'd never suit up in either their classic blue spandex look or in anything even resembling a superhero outfit. When that concept art leaked and the first photo of Michael B Jordan was revealed, those suspicions appeared to be confirmed: at the most, they'd be wearing sort of normal black jumpsuits, which had previously been contained as containment suits, without much in common with their usual get-up. Which would've been fine. Fox's X-Men movies featured some pretty different costumes for their heroes. Still, this is a superhero film, not just your generic blockbuster. Thankfully, it looks like the powers that be had a change of heart, cos those definitely look like costumes at the end of the trailer.
