Doom will have fidget spinner weapon and Silver Surfer will be Silver Skater.

 

[Killa Sasa]

Incredibles Clone (lol the ironing is delicious)
Pull a Sony with Marvel
Stahp
Flop
or just make a good flick.

Shouldn't be hard for them to get to a good answer, but I'm going with Door #4 based on the track record. Prove me wrong, kids -- prove me wrong.

 

[Cuburt]

Fox literally going for broke.

Even if this is for real, I can't imagine that it actually end up making it to the theater.

 

[JimJamJones]

 

[_Ryo_]

Fox... Stop it. Its dead.

 

[AusRoachman]

Just hire pixar and make incredibles 2 with fantastic 4 cameos.

Done

 

[dankir]

NO. FUCKING NO.

 

[Exis]

They should just do the kids from Johnathan Hickmans FF, lighten it a bit and it is perfect.

 

[Kyoufu]

I'm still waiting for the adult friendly Fantastic Four.

 

[MrCunningham]

Maybe Fox will get one of these Fantastic Four movies right? Fourth time is a charm, right?

Spoiler

That last sentience could make a great cheesy-bad tagline for the poster.

 

[mechashiva]

Came to suggest this.

 

[BetterThanNothing]

This is becoming Necromantic.

Let this foul creature lie still, Fox.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Can't wait for them to hire Robert Rodriguez as director and have the F4 team up with Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Someone is seriously pitching this and you know it.

 

[Sulik2]

The next xmen movie has the shiar. Just put the fantastic group on a spaceship on that movie and have then get blasted into space and get their powers. Shared universe but away from earth so you can tap different parts of the F4 properties.

 

[Staccat0]

I don't hate this idea. I don't have faith in them to execute it well, but I don't hate it.

 

[Shaanyboi]

I don't hate this idea. I don't have faith in them to execute it well, but I don't hate it.

I mean the idea of a hard exploratory sci-fi Fantastic Four could've been good too, but they fucked that up real bad. The 2005 movie is (sadly) still the closest thing to what a F4 movie should probably be like. Well... okay, there's the Corman movie. But come on...

 

[Lord Panda]

Fox has no shame.

 

[ramparter]

So it will be smarter and more mature than the previous one.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Who knew it'd be so difficult to make a good FF movie.

All the ingredients are there, they just need someone competent to cook it up. No studio meddling might also help.

 

[Not]

Finally, an authentic Doctor Doom

 

[TemplaerDude]

They need to stop calling it a reboot. It's the same universe. It'll make sense by the 15th one.

 

[Blade30]

Fox.

Guys, give them a chance. It's the Fantastic Four. How hard can it be to make a good movie?

Nevermind. I'm out.

Sue and Johnny look like dolls.

 

[Ein Bear]

The Fantastic Four are my favourite superheroes. It's so depressing how the property has been treated, as much as I like the Marvel films, it really feels like a huge part of what I love about the Marvel Universe is missing without them.

 

[Steiner84]

they just dont give up.
FF was allready lame as a kids cartoon back in the day. And it only went farther down since..

 

[andythinkpad]

I hope Fox keep rebooting it until the world convince F4 is bad ip.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Well after 2 failed attempts ( even though I think the first 2 are okay) may as well try something different

The Tim Story (Alba, Evans) films are okay and they're probably some of the most family-friendly superhero films to date, so I don't really see how this change in tone would save anything. I'm not a comic book reader any more and I don't give a shit about the FF, but they have some top-notch villains who I'd like to see revert back to Marvel. Doom, Silver Surfer, Namor, Galactus - these villains deserve to be in better films than anything FF-related Fox have done so far, and God knows that the MCU needs some good villains to fall back on (especially in a few years when Thanos will be dealt with).

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Eventually they're going to stumble ass backwards onto a good treatment for this franchise.

Aside from Ben Grimm, the only thing I want from the Fantastic Four property is Doctor Doom & Glactus to be properly adapted to the silver screen by the House of M.

And it's insane that FOX is still hellbent on making this work, as you'd think their last wack at the characters was a hint that it isn't worth keeping the license if they are going to get diminishing returns.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Th-third times the charm?

 

[Blues1990]

Th-third times the charm?

Nah, they haven't gone deep enough. Of a hole, that is.

 

[Mindwipe]

If this tends more towards a wacky hijinks Future Foundation film, then it's not actually a bad idea.

Marvel aren't very good at handling villains, so I'm torn on if Marvel would do them justice.

Sidenote, strange that Fox haven't moved ahead with a standalone Silver Surfer movie. There's enough backstory/material there to make a few movies.

 

[-ImaginaryInsider]

Well, Fox has to make sure FF/Cosmic Marvel doesn't ever default back to Marvel/MCU at any cost.

 

[Rootbeer]

Just do a Power Pack movie in the style of Sharkboy And Lava Girl / Spy Kids.

Will probably be easy money for Fox.

 

[StayDead]

Please Fox, just let the rights revert back to Marvel.

We need Doom in the MCU. You're clearly never going to make a good FF film so it's better you just let people do it.

 

[Discotheque]

Brad Bird would have made a really good Fantastic Four movie.

but this shit heap of a movie franchise is a waste of his time. I don't wish this on anybody, even the directors I don't care for.

 

[brawly]

Make them be from the 60s and time travel to the current MCU timeline.

 

[okdakor]

Who owns the rights to Power Pack?

If it's Marvel, they should make it, just to kill the Fox "F4 Babies"... with all the alien stuff, kymellians and snarks, it could even fit right into the cosmic stuff they are doing currently

 

[Elegant Weapon]

I swear I keep making posts that don't post....


Anyway, Franklin Richards is a super powerful mutant pre-teen with reality wrapping powers and his younger sister is a kid genius


This isn't a bad idea, at all

 

[Lifeline]

I like the focus on the kids, I remember them being the best part of that i read of Hickman's run on F4.

I still want to see the F4 in the same universe as X-Men.

 

[Falchion]

I would be all for letting Fantastic Four lay fallow for a while.

 

[Nesotenso]

Fox really doesn't want to give up the rights

 

[Malyse]

The Hard Times of RJ Berger

That was cancelled six years ago.

Who owns the rights to Power Pack?

Marvel

Just do a Power Pack movie in the style of Sharkboy And Lava Girl / Spy Kids.

Will probably be easy money for Fox.

You mean Marvel.

They should get Power Pack as a Hulu show alongside of Runaways so ******** and ***** can have that date we never saw in the comics.

 

[Elegant Weapon]

Yeah, the fact of the matter is, Fox doesn't want to give up the rights and from their perspective as a production company in the midst of the superhero film boom, they shouldn't


They literally have every right to keep trying to get this property to be a huge hit. Neither playing it straight or going "dark" worked, focusing on wonder and adventure through the fantastic children of the FF is actually a great idea

If they get Artie & Leech in this and nail the tone, I might actually see it in theaters

 

[Strider_Blaze]

Noooooooooo!

Fox's last attempt at a F4 film were just disastrous! I've convinced that they're not convinced that they can't do the F4 correctly.

Spoiler

R.I.P. to all potential use of the major cosmic characters in the MCU.

 

[LordOfLore]

More info.

 

[richiek]

If this is true, what the fuck Fox.

 

[SpaceWolf]

More info.

This sounds ghastly.

 

[Xion385]

A Franklin Richards movie. Lol
