Yes but IIRC, the Marvel deal with Fox is different than Sony's deal, in which Marvel actually earns far less with Fox than Sony. It's real bone of contention for them and canceling the Fantastic Four comic line is just the beginning.

And making Johnny Storm black is just a lazy move to bring in more interest, not to mention how it completely messes up the story (sorry, Direckshun). |

And yes, I agree that changing Johnny's origin without changing Sue's is a mistake. It would be one thing if they were both African American or Mexican American or Asian American but what they chose doesn't work, IMO. And FWIW, the internets hates it, which doesn't bode well for its success. |

Hence why Marvel canceled their comic(besides low subscriptions) even being Marvels first family.. Xmen comics and spinoffs are not allowed to introduce new characters in them.. They can only reuse old characters and storylines.. All new stuff has to be introduced elsewhere so they cannot use them for movies.. Then them killing off wolverine and deadpool before their next movies.. |

For decades, Johnny and Sue have been brother and sister. That's the story. Now, it's Johnny and Sue but of different races. As I said earlier, if both were African American or Indian American or Mexican American or Asian American, no biggie. But they're changing the mythology due to demographics. |

That was my thought as well. Other than just being dark, this trailer did not allay my concerns in any way. I got the total impression that they were changing the origin story as well, although with how disjointed the trailer is it's hard to tell. I can't imagine they would really do that though?!

these companies just need to pay marvel 25 to 50 percent of profits to help write and guide the movies. Then marvel will allow them to sell toys. |

I want, so bad, to have this be decent.
Before even the Hulk (which is my uber-geek fetish) I was an FF fan. Bo Jackson made me a football fan. From there I became a Chiefs fan. The FF were why I read comics. From that love I became a HULK fan. It HURTS to watch them **** this up. Watching that emotionless-twat with ZERO ****ing range play Sue Storm makes me want to drown a puppy...

It's getting a little tiring watching every superhero getting the angst-filled dramatic-music slow-motion "tortured soul" treatment of "The Dark Knight". I think that's why I, and so many other people, enjoyed GOTG. The casting also looks bland; I don't mind relative unknowns but those four look like they bring nothing to the table. (I actually liked Ioan Gruffudd, and he makes "Forever" worth watching.) And, as mentioned, there's nothing exciting about this group of characters (although I'm sure, due to the tone, they'll play up the "outcasts from normal society" angle, which was about the only thing the other film versions also did well). Just seems all around like a pointless film. The DC equivalent would be if they ever make an "Aquaman" movie.
