Less than two years after the release of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, 20th Century Fox is reportedly looking to reboot their Fantastic Four franchise.
It was reported last fall that Fox chairman Tom Rothman was considering a reboot of Daredevil, and now IESB claims the studio is "looking to completely retool, recast and recrew the franchise."
The site points out that, obviously, this would mean no Ioan Gruffudd as Mr. Fantasic, no Jessica Alba as the Invisible Woman, no Chris Evans as Human Torch, no Michael Chiklis as The Thing, no Julian McMahon as Doctor Doom, and no director Tim Story.
IESB says Fox wants the new FF franchise "to be 'less bubble gum' this time round following the Iron Man template, which was a complete success in reviews and box office take but a bit darker when it came to its superhero."
I say go for it, but will be sad to see Chiklis out as Thing as I think he did a great job. He's actually the only one out of the cast I'd keep. If they do a clean slate, I'd want a Sue Storm that LOOK the part and isn't just eye candy. I want Johnny to be blonde, but have the same attitude that Evans brought. Doom needs to be menacing with a bit of a deeper voice, have armor and a scar. Mr Fantastic needs to have more pronounced gray temples and the like. Basically base it on the 616 FF and not the Ultimate FF. Really though itd be great if Marvel could just take the property back along with Daredevil and do it their way, incorporate it into their universe.
