‘Fantastic Four’ Trailer Debuts – Is It Fantastic?

The latest trailer for the “Fantastic Four” reboot has arrived, giving fans the best look yet at the reboot – but will the latest footage put fan worry to rest?

Kate Mara (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Michael B. Jordan (Johnny Storm/Human Torch), Miles Teller (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic), Jamie Bell (Ben Grimm/The Thing) and Toby Kebbell (Victor Domashev/Dr. Doom) are seen in action in the latest footage.

The Josh Trank-directed movie is heavy on the CGI and paints a somewhat different version of the characters first seen in the goofy Jessica Alba-starring 2005 film and its 2007 sequel. The film appears darker and edgier than its predecessors, but also feels similar in many ways. Four friends given powers by a mysterious force battle someone evil – stop us if you’ve seen this one before!

The film does put a new spin on Dr. Doom’s face. In the comics and both films, the character wears a metal mask, but this version has Doom with a marred face that appears to be damaged by his transformation.

“Fantastic Four” will hit theaters on August 7.
