You’ve read enough about the latest version of the Fantastic Four.

Here’s where we start talking about the future of Marvel’s First Family. Yes, I don’t want to give up on the team that launched the Marvel Age.

Sony and Marvel reached an agreement that Spider-Man’s cinematic future will better by working together. Spidey will be swinging in the Marvel Cinematic Universe then his own film again. Is it time for Fox to let Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny go home?

It’s too soon for another movie reboot. You might be saying the same thing about Spidey. What about a television series that weaves the FF into the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Continue reading FOUR Reasons FANTASTIC FOUR Should Go MARVEL

A Different FANTASTIC FOUR For Your Consideration

Editorial:

What if the Fantastic Four were black?

The casting of Michael B. Jordan as Human Torch in the Fantastic Four reboot ignited fan fury and praise for colorblind casting.

Let’s face it, we don’t love Johnny Storm because he’s white and blonde. We love him because he’s the hotheaded, egomaniac cool guy we all wish we could hang with because he gets the girls. Johnny is devoted to his sister and enjoys giving grief to Ben Grimm.

Jordan is a talented actor (Fruitvale Station) who can play the cockiness and coolness of Johnny as seen in Chronicle and That Awkward Moment.

Jordan’s casting is just one of many that flares up the internet and causes a conversation about race. After seeing the FF trailer and cancellation of the comic book I’ve been thinking about Marvel’s First Family: Should they split up and join different teams, should new heroes replace them as an all-new FF or maybe what if it all went back to the beginning…but with a very different twist.
