The world is waiting for a new Fantastic Four.
The team behind the X-Men franchise is helping reboot Reed, Susan, Johnny, Ben and Doom.
Will Fox’s reboot with a modern take on Marvel’s First Family be the launch of a new franchise?
If the new take starring Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell blasts off, where will the sci-fi adventurers go in a potential sequel?
Producer/writer Simon Kinberg, the man behind several X-films, talks about what’s next for Four:
“I have a lot of ideas of where I think it should go beyond this film. We’ve been so focused on getting this one right — ultimately, that’s the most important thing. This film is the origin and very beginning of the Fantastic Four. For me, in future films, we’d want to really see what it’s like to become a public celebrity superhero group, which is what the Fantastic Four were, essentially. They were known within the world and dealing with that in today’s society would be interesting. It’s something not a lot of movies have done in grounded ways,” Kinberg told Comic Book Resources.
“Then there are specific things from the books, whether it is vehicles or specific powers, that I’d love to see. It always comes back to the characters. That’s why we fall in love with those books in the first place. There are a lot of places to go with these characters, because they are young and are just starting to embrace who they are. There’s a lot of room for them to grow, emotionally. That’s really what excites me about the potential of future movies, to explore stories and love and deeper conflicts and to just keep going deeper into their inner personal relationships.”
Here are the villains we hope to see in a FF sequel. Which bad guys from the Four-verse do you want to see on the big screen?
Fantastic Four opens Friday.
