Fantastic Four Reboot: 10 Ways To Guarantee It Won't Suck

3. Use The Expanded Universe

Seriously, as we said, this franchise is meant to be weird. The Fantastic Four are nothing without their exotic locations like Hala, Latveria, Sub-Atomica, The Negative Zone and The Blue Area of the Moon, so show them! The way to make this movie awesome is to make it a Hobbit-like epic adventure with lots of galaxy-trotting and travel. The Fantastic Four were sub-atomic test pilots, so why confine them to Earth? Sure, New York is their base, but almost every issue had them in some far-off land like Latvenia or The Negative Zone. With CGI like Avatar, there's no reason we can't see them visit all these cool places. Of course, the real barometer to see whether this will work is The Guardians of the Galaxy, which has a very similar premise. Maybe if it does well, Fox will take notice.
