The Fantastic Four trailer is here. It's a good teaser - I Iike the 60's retrofuturistic aesthetic, and I love the score. I like Vanessa Kirby and I'm sure she'll give a great performance. Joseph Quinn seems okay as a 60's clean cut Johnny Storm. I was never keen on Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, and the trailer did nothing to change my mind. I think he is overused and miscast in this role. I like the look of The Thing, though I think having him in a full costume looks a little off. I prefer the classic look of just the shorts. Seeing the rocks of his body move as he moves would have helped to sell the design. I think he sounds great as is, but I also miss the gruff voice that Michael Chiklis gave the character in the original movies.
Overall, I like the trailer and I am hopeful it will be a great movie. I have a soft spot for the Fantastic Four. The first comic book I ever bought was Fantastic Four #199, so I feel very close to, and protective of, Marvel's First Family.
Check out the trailer and let me know what you think!
