The Fantastic Four is currently set up to be one of the most important movies in Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only are they one of the most popular superhero teams in comic book history, but they are arguably one of the best creations by Marvel Comics legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Despite this, previous films haven’t lived up to the hype, despite having such names in the cast as Chris Evans, Michael B. Jordan, Jessica Alba, Miles Teller, and Michael Chiklis.
