The second trailer for Fox’s Fantastic Four reboot hit the web on Sunday, revealing the plot and introducing us to the characters and the dangers they face. It also gives us the first look at the villain, Doctor Doom.
This is also the first trailer since we got a much better look at The Thing earlier this month. We get to see how The Thing, which was created using a motion capture suit on actor Jamie Bell and CG, moves in the final product.
For the new Fantastic Four, director Josh Trank kept most of the original story behind the superhero team but changed some of the details. In the film, Dr. Franklin Storm (Reg E. Cathey) is doing experiments and hopes that Reed Richards (Miles Teller) will create a device for inter-dimensional travel. He lets Reed take his friend Ben Grimm (Bell), Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan) and Sue Storm (Kate Mara) along for the ride. Things go wrong and they eventually wind up with the powers that make them the Fantastic Four.
Doom (Toby Kebbell) comes into the picture at some point, so the team has to assemble and try to destroy him before he destroys everything.
Fox is releasing Fantastic Four on Aug. 7 and a sequel is already planned for June 2017.
