I didn’t see a thread for this, though I could have sworn there was one….

Anyway, here’s the Trailer just released the other day. Reminded me a bit of the 2007 movie, plot-wise. I think the FX on Norinn Radd Silver Surfer looked better back then, though this trailer was limited in the alternate Silver Surfer appearances. I still think it would have been better to have Norrin Radd.

I also still am not keen on Pedro Pascal as Reed. As good an actor as he can be, I just don’t find him believable as the smartest guy in the room. Nor do I see him coming across as a good team leader.

The rest of the cast is pretty spot on, and the FX on the Thing look great. His appearance is also very Kirby-sequel. I’m also digging the whole 60s setting. Still not sure if I want to spend money seeing this in a theater.


This and Superman are probably the first time in ages that I am thinking of actually seeing a film in the theatres instead of waiting for a streaming service to pick them up. Both films just feel really good to me

There’s a good chance I’ll see Superman in the theater. This one….we’ll see. I’d have to see good reviews by people whose opinions I trust.


I just hope Galactus shows off why he's fing Beast, along with being semi-reasonable.

Looks cool, but seems like the story has been done already. As a movie, I mean. Seems like they could find something new in all the stacks and stacks of FF books. Hollywood is kind of annoying that way though.

I mean sure he eats planets...but that doesn't mean you can't have a conversation with the guy. :p ;)

As for a beast...mostly just him shrugging of nukes.


Trailer for me was extremely bland. That long speech pointing what F4 members powers are was quite uninspirinational.

Someone's apparently starting rumors on X (I don't use that thing, so can't verify) that they did a reshoot and rewrite of the entire ending of this movie. I personally take it with many grains of salt, but I don't think it'd surprise me if it were true.

My guess is if there's a grain of truth to the rumors, they had originally had Kang show up at the end and since they're now writing him out of the MCU for the most part, they probably altered it.

(IIRC Kang is a relative of Reed Richards, hence why I think they may have originally planned for him to show up.)
