Here’s how I hope the origin’ll play out: Reed and his rocket was testing lightspeed and inter-dimensional travel in the 1960s. They’ve been gone for 60-70 years and everyone thought they were atomized because they never could find any trace of them and they never returned. Suddenly, SHIELD starts picking up a signal on a frequency that hasn’t been used since the 1960s. A wormhole opens up and “The Marvel” appears. Where for them it had been a month, it had been almost 70 years for us. They traveled through the Negative Zone for a time, where they inadvertently trespassed on Annihilus’ territory. The cosmic rays that hit them and knocked them off course were from the Cosmic Control Rod. They eventually found an exit, and that’s where we pick up.
We also find out that Sue is pregnant from Reed & Sue celebrating the night before launch. Whereas it would still be a zygote under normal circumstances, it is growing exponentially faster. They go through their changes when the ship crash lands. The servitor droid that Reed had been tinkering with and updating since Junior High, “HERBIE”, leads the exit far their safety. As they emerge, the combination of the cosmic ray exposure and the pollutants in the air act as a catalyst to begin their changes. Today, the cast was announced: Pedro Pascal | Reed Richards | “Mister Fantastic”, Vanessa Kirby | Susan “Sue” Storm (Richards)| “Invisible Girl/Woman”, Joseph Quinn | Jonathan “Johnny” Storm |”The Human Torch”, Ebon Moss-Bachrach | Maj. Benjamin Jacob Grimm,USAF | “The Thing”
