20th Century Fox‘s “contemporary re-imagining” of Marvel’s Fantastic Four is now available in trailer form, and you can check it out above.
Fantastic Four is the story of four people whose physical forms are altered after being teleported to an alternate universe. The film is expected to hit theaters Aug. 7.
Fox has released the first teaser trailer for The Fantastic Four, giving us our first look at the reboot. The trailer offers plenty of science, some cool superpowers, and even a fleeting shot of the movie’s villain.
But if you blinked, you might have missed all of that. There are other mysteries, too — like, why is there such a focus on space exploration in this film?
The rest of the information from the interview was heartening, though a lot of it could turn out to be bluster. But if we take Trank and Kinberg at their word, they seem to be doing something fascinating and unique: creating the first big-budget superhero movie that’s rooted in hard science-fiction and body horror.
Fantastic Four will star Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Toby Kebbell. The film is just one of many Marvel properties coming in the next four years, though it won’t be tied to those universes in quite the same way; the roster includes new Thor and Captain America movies, as well as Doctor Strange, an Inhumans movie and more.
