New preview gives a better glimpse at Doctor Doom.
20th Century Fox has recently dropped the newest trailer to Fantastic Four.
In this reboot of the Marvel franchise, younger versions of the classic characters Reed Richards (Miles Teller), Sue Storm (Kate Mara), Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan), and Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell), are granted special abilities after teleporting to an alternate universe, and must work together to stop a familiar threat.
Unlike previous trailers, we are finally given a better look at antagonist Victor von Doom (Toby Kebbell), who appears to have had his body gruesomely mutated in the same teleportation experiment as the titular heroes. While unclear, it also appears he does not don the classic mask used to conceal his scarred face, instead he revels in his glowing green appearance. Honestly, he looks pretty scary, despite prior reports that he’s just a blogger.
Directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle), and apparently set in the same universe as the X-Men film series, this reboot has a lot going for it. There are high expectations to be met, especially after the masterpieces that were the first two Fantastic Four movies (sarcasm).
Fantastic Four will release in theaters on August 7th.
