Who would like to see another with the same actors?

its come to a point that a conceptual reboot will be the better option

I would prefer a conceptual reboot, like X-Men: First Class. That movie, with its great 1960s production design and strong, emotional story-telling, was what the Fantastic Four movies should have been.

Tim Story's Fantastic Four movies were surprisingly Black in small ways (such as the songs on the soundtrack) and not well-grounded in any special time or aesthetic.

I don't think the costumes were good. The blue stretchy look was OK, but when was Johnny's red jacket ever cool, or how was the cloak of Doom in the first movie supposed to look grand? Costume design shouldn't begin and end with what the heroes will look like when they are suited up.

The only character with a really strong, emotional story in the first movie is the Thing, Ben Grimm. That's not enough.

Michael Chiklis grabbed that role with both hands. Chris Evans was good too, with the brotherly Torch/Thing stuff. So its understandable that some people would want the same actors back.

I would agree with you had they not picked such young actors to re-boot the franchise. Suddenly the old cast doesn't seem so bad...

I had no problem with Jessica Alba's acting or appearance. She gave us a very sympathetic Sue Storm. I enjoyed all of the cast members' performances and was only disappointed that it stopped. Now, with Chris Evans out being Captain America, to reassemble the original cast will be kind of odd.

It is my hope that they will not attempt an origins story but move on with the story arc and on to other adventures. Who really wants to see a repeat told differently? I hope that's a rhetorical question. But who knows, they keep reinventing Superman and Batman and I don't really think they've helped their franchises there.

Yes, Chikalis was a good choice for that part. The new one, I have heard, will feature a CGI Thing. From what I have gathered, the Thing from the Ultimate series was significantly bigger than a human actor can be - and fans of this were really put-off by the man in a suit. So its possible that Chikalis could voice the Thing's lines. As far as I was concerned, I liked all of it, even the updated Dr. Doom played by Julian McMahon. I liked the idea of Doom being a living metal condenser cell! And, they kept the uniforms, unlike almost all of the other Marvel heroes.

This is true. Sadly, that ship sailed when Chris was given the Cpt. America part. Too bad, he was a great Torch! =/

They have barely touched the scope of the Fantastic Four universe. The FF will be rebooted because one of the actors has clearly moved on.

Of course I think this is one story where they can continue from a later point. They don't always have to start at an origin. TIH quickly gave us the origin but the movie starts a year after he got his powers. In a way it kinda continues off from the previous film where Banner was in south america.

The Four were fine. I just think Doom was terrible! So would have worked with a better actor. In my opinion the same thing happened with Spider-Man. Osbourne was badly cast. Look at X Men. magneto played by McKellen. Spider-Man 2. Molina as Ock, although I thought Maguire was a terrible Peter Parker and an average Spidey. It's all about casting right
