Oh dear, Michael B Jordan is cast as Johnny Storm for the new F4 reboot..

Odd choice. I'm not against a change in color (look at Nick Fury), but Johnny always seemed like the 'too cool for school' smartypants white guy.

It did make me think of this, though

Michael B Jordan still looks more like Johnny Storm than Andrew Garfield looks like Peter Parker....

Wha??? To me, Garfield perfectly embodies Peter. He's got a nervous/nerdy side without being 100% nerd (*cough*TobeyMcGuire*cough*) and pulls of the smart alec persona perfectly.

I have read that Doom will be a woman. Wth?. They just holding the rights I think.

No, I completely disagree there. I never saw it. I enjoyed parts of the first ASM movie but kept getting frustrated whenever he wasn't wearing his mask as I just couldn't recognize the character from any of the comic book issues (and my Spidey collection is huge). They emphasized Peter's awkwardness and him being a social outcast almost in an autistic sense, in several ways that did not match the Peter Parker I've come to know. From skateboarding to school to smiling off every lack of response instead of making up clumsy-but-cute excuses. And I was even mainly referring to his looks in my previous comment: the thin face and the high-waving lump of hair. Case in point: an issue of 'Avenging Spider-Man' which came out after the ASM movie, where they tried to approach the movie. It really didn't work. Peter's unusually awkward and I read a review of that issue where the reviewer didn't get what they were aiming for and thought that Peter looked like Screech from Saved By The Bell.

Sure, his acting's quite alright, but Andrew really isn't Peter to me. I greatly preferred Tobey to Andrew - as Peter, not as Spider-Man! With the mask on, Andrew really became Spidey.

Ah, do you guys remember the 2005 Fantastic Four movie? It wasn't perfect, I'll go as far as to say, that it sucked, but hey! At least it was closer to the original, than the reboot! In this time and age, why is it so hard to adapt a comic book from the 60s into a movie that is faithful to the original product and also fun?

Even though I'm a fan of Jessica Alba (and not for acting reasons ), I can't say the Fantastic Four movies were all that. It was just ok. With this reboot though, I wonder how they are going to explain that Sue and Johnny are related... maybe one of them is adopted and took their last name? Or they are both mixed white/black? Or maybe they won't be related at all in this reboot - though that goes against the whole "First Family" thing the F4 are famous for. Just curious.

I don't mind comics turning some characters black, as I think Michael Clarke Duncan was decent as Kingpin (though the movie Daredevil stunk), people have grown to see Nick Fury as black now, and Idris Elba did Heimdall justice. Human Torch though? I don't know about that one. Time will tell if he can pull it off. Now, how about making that rumored Luke Cage movie a reality... fans did pics of Tyrese, The Rock, or Terry Crews playing as him.

I have read that Doom will be a woman. Wth?. They just holding the rights I think.

Say what now?!? Maybe it's Lucia Von Bardas instead?

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but instead of Agents this week they had a special about what's next for the MCU. I didn't see it, but Marvel realeased some concept art for Phase Two. Looks like they based Wanda off Evolution, and is that the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo on her jacket? The screens from the test footage of Ant-man look awesome though.

X-men days of Future past trailer 2

Lots of good stuff in this trailer, Blink, Blink's portals, Sunspot, Mystique, Magneto and of course Prof X and Wolverine

Also...Quicksilver's wig... *sigh*

So far so good though!

*SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN TRAILER*
This looks wicked cool I really hope Storm doesn't end up dying but that knife was way to close to her back for anyone to have saved her or for her to move. Still looks sick I actually like the way the Sentinels look especially Nimrod he looks sick!

[chris1771]

Looks so great! I did how ever notice that as storm is about to die if you look closely bishop is behind her and notices the sentinel...
But her death would make the movie interesting!

It doesn't even look like a wig to me, Even Peters hair is that long normally so they could have easily just sprayed some silver into his hair.

[Polygone]

It just looks kinda fakeish, i dunno

I agree with you, his hair looks like crap. When I think of Quicksilver I think short hair. I'm not saying he needs short hair, but either way they should have made his hair better.

Yeah i noticed before the Sentinel goes to stab her, He looks like he's getting ready to scream but I think she still dies Halle Berry herself said that "there's something very revealing and shocking about Storm in this movie. There are some things you find out about her that I think give you much more insight into who she is."
