Fantastic Four New Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See
25. You Gave Us Nothing
The Fantastic Four's origin story tends to vary. Originally, Reed Richards was simply an independently wealthy scientist who could fund his own ill-fated space voyage. In the Ultimate Fantastic Four reboot, which this film is drawing upon, it's a government initiative that facilitates the failed experiment that results in their powers. Here it looks like the private sector is behind the whole shebang, with Reg E Cathey's Dr Franklin Storm being told by a board of directors that in six years he has given them nothing. You can't blame them for being a little are they the stand in for the fans clamouring for trailers and pics for months?
