According to a source close to Bleeding Cool, Fox is not only looking ahead at rebooting the franchise but that there is already a draft of the screenplay floating around. Rumor has it that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter author Seth Grahame-Smith has penned a script that would focus on Reed Richards’ and Susan Storm’s children Franklin and Valeria.

 

[clay_ghost]

At least it's something different.

 

[Salsa]

why would you focus on their children

wtf are you doing the fantastic four are easy why you keep wanting to mess with something easy

why can't anyone get them right, fuckin Spiderman 1 Sam Raimi this thing

 

[Dalek]

Oh for fucks sake.

 

[Apt101]

Or they could just ask Disney/Marvel to partner and make a genuinely good and proper FF4 film.

But whatever. Maybe it will be good. Anything has to be better than the last film.

 

[SleepyJohn11]

I can see it being an animated movie. If this is going to be another live-action film, they can go ahead and give up.

 

[Lord Fagan]

Kid friendly Doom?

Go home, Fox. You're drunk.

 

[NeonBlack]

Anything to not lose that license, even losing money

 

[Rvaan]

Can't possibly be worse than the last film. I needed vodka to make it through that pile of trash.

 

[SDBurton]

They just need to leave that series alone for awhile. Seriously.

they literally cant

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

So this is Lord & Miller's next film?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

They just need to leave that series alone for awhile. Seriously.

They should leave it alone for a good 5 years.

Spoiler

So the rights can expire.

 

[Just_myles]

Still no Yancy street gang.

Hope it's better than the last however how many.

 

[ascii42]

The Incredibles?

 

[Fury451]

They just need to leave that series alone for awhile. Seriously.

They want those rights so they can't.

Expect "Obligatory Failed F4 Franchise Attempt" every couple years .

 

[7he Talon]

Please just let this franchise fade away... stop trying with it.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

At what point after failed attempt after failed attempt does Fox even give up? Even if one was good would anybody see it due to the damage the brand has?

 

[Jigorath]

How hard is it to make one good Fantastic Four movie.

 

[SDBurton]

they literally cant

The unfortunate truth.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Just sell it, good lord, why. WHY. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Dark Ninja]

Can we get Garbage Bag Doctor Doom back.

 

[Neoxon]

Just give the F4 back to Marvel so they can resurrect the franchise.

 

[Daingurse]

Wish they would just take some notes from Hickman's FF run. Would be cool to actually see the characters done well, FF can be pretty damn cool . . Feels like Fox will never do the property justice. Got all these awesome cosmic entities, and they're all going to waste!

 

[CocaMantis]

Just when you thought that this franchise couldn't hit another low...
For fuck sakes, just drop your pants and sign a deal with Feige. It's the only way F4 could (kinda) work.

 

[Effigenius]

Just give the F4 back to Marvel so they can resurrect the franchise.

Fox is salty they let Daredevil go back to Marvel. They aren't doing that again,

 

[EBE]

Fool me three times...

 

[Magnus]

The Incredibles?

Can't believe it took 15 posts. How that film didn't get in hot water for ripping off F4 kind of blows my mind. No one was even talking about it in the media.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Cool I like it. Focus on the family aspects with high-adventure elements instead of origin stories or superheroics or whatever the Trank film was.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

This wasn't kid friendly?
oh wait I remember the Jessica Alba bridge scene.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

This wasn't kid friendly?
oh wait I remember the Jessica Alba bridge scene.

Man, just how many times did they make Sue strip naked in those movies?

 

[Daingurse]

This wasn't kid friendly?
oh wait I remember the Jessica Alba bridge scene.

Certainly felt like a kid's movie. I was the target demo at the time, and can actually remember the marketing lol. Very goofy, the sequel even more so.

 

[Fulminator]

Just give the F4 back to Marvel so they can resurrect the franchise.

LMAO

this gif is perfect for this

 

[Imperial Bishop]

"Just keep rebooting til we get it right" - ancient Fox proverb

 

[Tetsujin_MK]

Hit the reset button until it works.

Just let it go. Please.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Kid friendly is appropriate considering almost all super hero movies are kid friendly.

 

[Slayven]

They don't have Jackman anymore as a cornerstone.

 

[7Th]

I'd watch a kid friendly movie about Valeria and Uncle Doom.

 

[WarLox]

Im here for a Franklin & Galactus buddy cop adventure across the cosmos.

 

[Galang]

Another reboot? Seriously?

 

[Rentahamster]

Third time's a charm?

 

[Adnor]

Cool I like it. Focus on the family aspects with high-adventure elements instead of origin stories or superheroics or whatever the Trank film was.

Yea, they're the First Family, not just a superhero team.

 

[Elegant Weapon]

Focusing on Franklin & Val isn't a bad idea at all, to be honest.


A super power mutant tween with reality warping powers and his super genius little sister is something we haven't seen & would be a hell of a lot more fresh than rebooting the classic FF line up and depicting essentially the same status quo again

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Fox, please stop. Just stop. Let it die, let Marvel take it on.

 

[Bagu]

Besides Doom, Silver Surfer, and Galactus, what else is tied to the F4 movie rights?

 

[darkistheway]

Whatever gets us closer to Silver Surfer in the MCU, I am fully behind.

 

[hodayathink]

Besides Doom, Silver Surfer, and Galactus, what else is tied to the F4 movie rights?

Annihilus and the Negative Zone, I believe.

 

[Fades]

Annihilus and the Negative Zone, I believe.

Super-Skrull (the character), too, though both Marvel and Fox can use the Skrull race. I believe Uatu as well. Basically a lot of the cosmic characters.

 

[LongDongJunon]

I think we've had enough fantastic four movies for one lifetime.
