Ok ..I was all in on this...but fake trailer :(


I have posted MANY negative posts on here bashing new movies..I have to say FF looks like a lot fun and I am genuinely excited for it. I wanted the retro look and looks like they found a way to make it happen.

Funny but I found this teaser was actually fake. I guess it worked for me as I really loved it.

I like the guy they have playing Galactus.

I heard it's Ralph Ineson ('Finchy', from The Office).

but there hasn't been any footage yet?

So far I love everything about this - the music, the look and character design of the TEASER. I was shocked as I had basically given up on Marvel.

Don't blow your load too soon, bud. Take Frankie's advice.

haha, let's say I felt my tent thinking about getting setup.

We've had 3 Fantastic Four 4 movies with the last one being an utter train wreck using a black actor as the Human Torch and if that weren't bad enough, it made no $$$$$$$. All 3 movies really didn't light the box office on fire and Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards when they had the Perfect Reed Richards in John Krasinski?? DEI anyone??

Exactly my point. Non of the previous weird incarnations...were remotely close to resembling my expectations.Myles Teller - WTF!

This version, looks almost comics accurate and cast looks...well fantastic. I am surprised and delighted to actually be excited for a film. This has been a long time since I felt this way.

I'm going to have to see an actual trailer to sell me on this because I don't see this doing any better than the Tim Story Directed F4 movies including Rise of the Silver Surfer and now the Silver Surfer is female now apparently.. We shall see. I feel like MARVEL peaked with END GAME and everything after this has been 2nd tier

reply

I have hopes that this will re-ignite interest in the MCU...which has gone off the rails...it can literally only get better from here.

At least the art direction is there. I really like the retro look. By Contrast Captain America: Brave New World Teaser did not do it for me....blah.

Check out the FF4 teaser trailer which is out.

I saw comments below this is fake? haha i think it looks great though.

You know it’s AI & fake, right?
It’s AI shots of the new cast and a bunch of clips from older movies sprinkled in to give it more “action” but all fake. So none of the “art designs” or retro look are legit.

reply

It's fake because it's from Screen Culture and unless it says OFFICIAL Trailer from MARVEL STUDIOS, it's fake. I know how excited you are about this, but it's true. You simply can't trust Youtube anymore thanks to the Birth of A.I and what's legit and what's not

reply

Yes I soon found that out. That Screen Culture is such a garbage site haha.

The FF Teaser I fell for was so short, I was duped. I guess the amazing score by Michael Giacchino (which was real) combined with the retro logo montages and the authentic rocket footage from another movie, was enough to win me over!

reply

I'm not a fan of Youtube these days just because of this very thing with A.I. I did read that they've finished the FX or rushed to do so to make the date this is supposed to come out

reply

I feel so silly for being duped, but the music score and retro rocket and logo pulled me in. Also, it had over 2M views so I was not the only one. Crazy with AI right? are we even really here? haha

reply

Give yourself a break. . .they used actual footage from the teasers that were screened at Comicon earlier this year. So it's cobbled together/enhanced, as opposed to "fake." Shrug.
