History Film / FantasticFour2015

'''''Fantastic Four''''' is an upcoming 2015 {{superhero}} film directed by Josh Trank of ''Film/{{Chronicle}}'' fame. Based off of Creator/MarvelComics' [[LongRunner Long Running]] ''FantasticFour'' comic book franchise, the film will be a complete ContinuityReboot, with no connections to either the Creator/RogerCorman [[Film/TheFantasticFour B-Movie]] or the two previous Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox [[Film/FantasticFour FF movies]]. The film stars Miles Teller as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara of ''[[HouseOfCardsUS House of Cards]]'' fame as Susan Storm/The Invisible Woman, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm/The Thing, with British actor Toby Kebbell playing the team's ArchNemesis, DoctorDoom. Inspired by the ''UltimateFantasticFour'' books, the film features younger depictions of the characters in order to more effectively distinguish itself from the previous movies.

* AbilityOverAppearance: Akin to [[Creator/IdrisElba Idris Elba]] as [[Film/{{Thor}} Heimdall]], African American actor Michael B. Jordan's casting as the traditionally-Caucasian Human Torch was based solely on his acting ability.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The film has been stated to be more serious and less jokey and hammy than the previous two films. MarkMillar has compared the tone to that of ''Film/{{Alien}}'' at times.

* AbilityOverAppearance: Akin to [[Creator/IdrisElba Idris Elba]] as [[Film/Thor Heimdall]], African American actor Michael B. Jordan's casting as the traditionally-Caucasian Human Torch was based solely on his acting ability.

* AuteurLicense: The director is playing this one to the hilt. The characters won't be wearing suits, be called "the Fantastic Four" or even be superheroes, and their "powers" will be reduced to disabilities that the four have to learn to live with. The actors have been advised not to even read the comics, which the movie won't be based on at all.

Jordan has also jokingly said the movie is a lot like ''Chronicle'', but without the NoBudget aspect.
