Josh Trank

Fantastic Four is a film that people wanted to hate from the start. First, there was the controversial casting of Michael B. Jordan as the traditionally white character Johnny Storm; shortly following this was the discovery that Victor Von Doom was a computer hacker instead of a brilliant inventor; finally, there was the casting itself, which involved younger characters just finishing high school, whereas most adaptations of the story present the Fantastic Four as adults.

Superhero movies have evolved into a Super Bowl-sized cinematic event. On the surface, the genre often only depicts the theme of the struggle between the Yin and Yang of a superpower. However, put a mixture of special effects and stirring comic book action on top of it, people will come running to theaters.
