Fantastic Four New Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See
11. Bullet Proof Grimm
Of course, he's all the more impressive when he is more Chiklis. Or Bricklis? No, that doesn't make sense. Anyway, besides a shot of him from behind on that first poster and briefly seeing him breaking out of some sort of stone chrysalis in the first trailer, this is the first proper look at the new Fantastic Four's Thing: head-on, in motion, and seemingly completely indestructible. Whilst he's lacking the heavy brow that's essential to the comic book design, Bell's The Thing has some relatably sad human eyes beneath the CGI outer shell. The last two attempts to bring the FF to the screen have used foam costumes to questionable effect, so it's good to see that the computer generated Thing looks a lot better. Especially when bullets are pinging off him.
