Dr. Doom Is Revealed In An All New Fantastic Four Trailer!

Trailers, trailers, and even more trailers. Man, this has been a hell of a week to be a movie fan! First Antman wowed us with a badass brawl on a toy train. Then Star Wars VII stole our hearts. Shortly after Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice made us get tingly in our naughty bits and now it's the Fantastic Four's chance to show us what they are made out of. Check the second trailer now.

Threes Things that Struck Me:

1. The younger cast kicks ass. Teller, Bell, Mara, and Jordan seem to have so seriously chemistry brewing. Especially liked the missed fist pump.

2. The Thing design is amazing. So much better than when Michael Chikilis painted himself in orange pigeon shit.

3. Dr. Doom's new look has to grow on me. Director Josh Trank has said he sees the Fantastic Four as a body horror film. So once I see how he came to look like that in context, perhaps I will be more into it. Also Toby Kebbell was the best villain in a movie last year (Koba in DOTPOTA) so I expect nothing less from him as F4's greatest foe.

These trailers have me excited. What are your thoughts so far? Who is your favorite member of the F4? Let us know in the comments or tweet at us @Caped_Informers or me @cstrand73. And make sure to tune in for our weekly Arrow, Flash, and Daredevil reviews. Fantastic Four comes out August 2nd.

A Fantastic Four Trailer Is Finally Here!

After months of speculation, relentless online fanboy attacks, and rumored production troubles, director Josh Trank has finally released the first trailer to his reboot of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four comic. Gotta say this looks pretty cool to me. Looks like a deeper sci-fi take on Marvel's first family. Hopefully this trailer will ease some fanboys minds. Check  it out for yourself!

Reg E. Cathey Joins Fantastic Four Reboot

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that actor Reg E. Cathey (House of Cards) has joined the cast of Josh Trank's Fantastic Four. He will be playing the role of Sue and Johnny Storm's father Dr. Storm. Cathey has worked with both the actors playing his children, Michael B. Jordan (The Wire) and Kate Mara (House of Cards), previously on various TV projects. So playing their father should be a simple transition for the character actor. It's great to see Frank Underwood's main man Freddy getting some love. Maybe Cathey will channel his Freddy into Dr. Storm and BBQ up some ribs for Reed and the gang.

Fantastic Four 2 and Wolverine 3 Get Release Dates!

Fox Studios has revealed future release dates for their Marvel properties. IGN and others report that Marvel's First Family will has a confirmed 2017 sequel date, a bold move considering the frosty reception the recent casting decisions for the 2015 movie have received. Fox must have a lot of confidence in Josh Trank/ Simon Kinberg's vision. The report went on to say that a third Wolverine solo outing, to be directed by James Mangold (The Wolverine), will also be in theaters in 2017. This comes at no surprise considering the success of 2013's The Wolverine and the character's overall popularity. Hugh Jackman can thank us for his Capey win anytime. Finally, the studio has also reserved a release date in 2018 for a untitled Marvel project. The Hollywood Reporter is speculating that film will be a Fantastic Four/X-Men crossover. That is something I want to see. I mean we live in the age of superhero film universe building, so I kinda need to see The Thing share a cigar and a drink with Wolvie. Anyway the exact release dates are posted below.

• Fantastic Four 2: July 14, 2017
• Wolverine 3: March 3, 2017
• Untitled Marvel Project: July 13, 2018

Dr.Doom Casting Rumors!

The Wrap has reported that Josh Trank has narrowed down his search for an actor to play the FF's archenemy Dr.Doom. He has a shortlist of four actors, who you probably have never heard off. The four are Eddie Redmayne (Les Miserables), Sam Riley (Maleficent), Toby Kebbell (Wrath of the Titians), Domhnall Gleeson (Judge Dredd). The report goes on to say that all the actors are between the ages of 30-34 and all have accents. Well at least it sounds like Doom will sport an accent, that's a plus I guess. I personally would like to see any of these four actors as long as they get their ass kicked by a CGI The Thing. Who do you want to play the leader of Latveria? Tell us in the comments section. Fantastic Four is due out in 2015.
