Fantastic Four New Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See

1. The Most Epic Of Battles

It's the N-Zone that looks to be the principal threat to...all of existence in The Fantastic Four, but there's still a good chance it's Doom that's somehow figured out a way to weaponise it. Whilst he begins as their friend if Victor gets left behind there after their experiment, whilst the rest make it out alive and (presumably) can't come up with a way to save him? You can't blame the guy for being a little bitter. So expect the climactic action sequence to be set in that volcanic, half-dead world that's featured in at least half the shots of this trailer €“ both pre-and post-experiment €“ and all the posters released so far. And from the looks of it, it's a particularly epic battle, involving the Human Torch and somebody €“ could be Sue, could be Doom €“ flying through entire mountains. Now that's some spectacle. And it avoids the issues with Avengers and Man Of Steel's third acts, which came under criticism for levelling cities without much regard for civilians. This is just a huge, super-powered dust up on a dead planet. What could possibly go wrong?
