With the film due in August, some new character posters for **Fantastic Four **have arrived online and their super power is that they link together to form one giant banner. Which doesn’t seem like a great ability, but what if it’s a Bruce Banner. Eh? EH? Now you’re thinking, aren’t you? You’re mostly thinking, ‘You idiot, they’re at different studios’, but at least you’re thinking. Where were we? Right. Posters. Yes. Take a look below.
Mostly the images make us think, ‘Why are you all just staring at the camera when there is a meteor-pocalypse afflicting the Baxter building and the rest of New York? Don’t you care?’ Clearly they have other things on their minds. And not just The Thing.
Promising a more realistic – as far as you can go given their powers – approach, director Josh Trank and writer/producer Simon Kinberg’s take on the classic Marvel characters finds the four – Reed Richards (Miles Teller), Sue Storm (Kate Mara), Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan) and Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell) gaining unusual (and often unwanted) new abilities after an experimental trip to another dimension goes badly wrong.
"There's the opportunity to make something that is challenging and tragic and dramatic," Trank told **Empire. "The opportunity is right there in the material. We'd rather steer it in that direction as opposed to just embracing a tone that comes right off the page." We’ll see the full result on August 6.
