However, Pascal lets that tone soften when Reed is behind closed doors with Sue.
The crisis of faith shown in the trailer reveals a key aspect of Reeds personality.
Stretch powers always look great on the page, but never look good on screen.
Maybe Marvels nailed it and theyre waiting until the next trailer to show it off.

Or maybe theyre still overworking VFX artists to get it to an acceptable level.
Because the Fantastic Four are an optimistic franchise, well go with the former.
Shes establishing herself as the true center and even leader of the team.
Sue understands the strong personalities of her teammates and understands how to use them.
), so some viewers might be surprised byJoseph Quinns sullen and awkward take in the trailer.
and make a giant flaming four in the sky.
However, purists might take some issue with the Things voice.
The trailer gives us our first look atthe costumes in motion, and they look pretty great.
They recall superhero costumes, as one would expect for a team of Marvel Comics characters.
In the comics,the Future Foundationis a think-tank that Reed established to train the next generation of scientists.
But the most important quality of the Fantastic Four is the one most prominent in the trailer.
The Marvel-1 is ready to lead them back to glory.
According to urban myth, Marvel created H.E.R.B.I.E.
Since his somewhat unheralded beginning, H.E.R.B.I.E.
has become a regular part of the Fantastic Four family, and a perfect inclusion for the film.

Early rumors had suggested that the movie would feature a montage of the FF defeating classic villains.
However, that long hair Malkovich sports points to another, much weirder classic villain:the Red Ghost.

When that failed, he developed an army of super-apes to attack America, starting with the Fantastic Four.

But Reed takes inspiration from everywhere, so that could be the first steps toward a proper Fantastic-Car.
Where Is Julia Garners Silver Surfer Shalla-Bal?
Perhaps the only revoltin development in the trailer is the lack ofJulia Garner as the the Silver Surfer.
Where Is Doctor Doom?
Given that Doom will be played byRobert Downey Jr., it seems strange to exclude him from the trailer.
The simplest answer to the question of Dooms absence is just that hes not cast in this movie.
