Fantastic Four Reboot in the Works
June 16, 5:17 PM

Fox has announced that they will be rebooting the Fantastic Four franchise. The first two Fantastic Four movies were not received very well, despite the inclusion of Jessica Alba in a skin tight outfight. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was comparable to the massive flop Daredevil, also released by Fox. Hopefully this time around Fox will be able to create a movie worthy of Marvel's first family.

The studio has announced that this will be a complete reboot of the franchise, new cast, new story, new everything. They want to capture a darker feel for the new movie, and hopefully get a Dr. Doom who is actually menacing. It is not known whether this will be a new origin movie or not at this point, but it wouldn't be surprising to once again see how the Fantastic Four received their powers. An origin story would also help introduce the new cast and erase memory of Fox's original Fantastic Four origin movie.

The fact that a reboot is in the works so soon after the franchise's last movie says a lot, mostly about the quality of the previous movies. It seems Fox has also finally figured out that it pays to make a good comic book movie after seeing the success of The Dark Knight and Iron Man. Rather than turning out mediocre movies like X-Men: The Last Stand, Fox has realized they will have to start producing quality films to keep up with other studios. Hopefully this time Fox can put out a Fantastic Four movie that will do the comics justice. The new Fantastic Four movie is slated for a 2011 release.
