Marvel's D23 promotion featured little new information on the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, just confirming Matt Shakman as director. There have been some rumors still swirling about. Jodie Comer has reportedly been cast as Sue Storm, we'll see if that pans out. Will John Krasinski be giving us another (hopefully far more competent) version of Reed Richards, or has another actor been tapped for the role? What about Ben and Johnny? Looks like we'll be waiting a little longer for the answers.
Hmmm! I wonder if Reed's invention is an attempt to modify/upgrade/improve the cellular regeneration device that once (quite accidentally) turned paraplegic ex-prizefighter Eddie "Iron Man" March into "The Freak"?* If so, I can understand his anal-retentive caution.
ReplyDelete*A Solomon Grundy-like brute.
Why would someone who can turn invisible as well as take the shape of anyone he wants, not to mention phase through walls, be lurking about in the shadows trying to act all stealthy?
ReplyDeleteOK, JJ has gotten lonely and desperate. Still, to act so stupid? A new populance could be created that could become like the white Martians.(And if tyey get drunk do they have "pink Martians"?)
ReplyDelete@Unknown: maybe he's somehow been temporarily deprived of his powers (other than flight and super-strength) by Dr. Doom. That would certainly explain how the latter met up with Metron in what evidently an enxtra-terrestrial environment!
ReplyDeleteOOOPS! That should've read "...what was evidently an extra-terrestrial environment." See what happens when you don't proof-reed, boys and girls?
ReplyDeleteI like to think that Martian Manhunter and Mr. Fantastic would be great friends! Although maybe he and Charles Xavier would be a better match?
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah! That's right. JJ once posed as a high-tech gangster named Marco Xavier. Didn't he? The real Marco belonging to one of those anagrammatical crime syndicates. C.O.N.D.O.R. or something like that?
ReplyDeleteClose! The crime syndicate was called VULTURE.
ReplyDeleteIt was still for the b.i.r.d.s.
ReplyDeleteI echo, broadly, the words given here: What if Reed's right? What will J'Onn do then?
ReplyDeleteThis calls for a sequel, possibly featuring the entire JLA an Fantastic Four.
AFAIK, "Vulture" was the name of the crime syndicate, but it wasn't an acronym. Or, if it was, no one ever bothered to work out what it stood for (or to use periods).
