9 Takeaways From The Fantastic Four Trailer

After what's felt like an extremely long wait, 20th Century Fox has finally released the first bit of footage from Josh Trank's Fantastic Four in the form of an exciting and intriguing teaser trailer. The film has long been the butt of an intense amount of online criticism and skepticism, partly because of how well the studio managed to keep everything under wraps. But now that we've seen a bit of footage, we can start to assess the film more fairly.

Fantastic Four

Just when you think the trailer is over, there’s one final tease. Reed is seen in some sort of hospital setting (likely still inside the government facility), and is visiting someone who warns him to “be ready for what’s coming.” That’s clearly Victor Domashev, recovering from the failed experiment.

We also see a glimpse of Domashev in action, walking down a corridor and attacking military personell with his powers. It appears to be the same corridor that we glimpsed Johnny in. When Johnny’s there, however, the men are all dead.

What I glean from these images is this: The team, along with Domashev, are injured in the experiment and kept at the facility for tests/research/healthcare/experimentation, and Domashev breaks out. The team must then go after him for the big climax of the film.

Fantastic Four will arrive in theaters on August 7th, 2015. Until then, tell us what you think about the new trailer. Were there any big takeaways that we failed to mention? Sound off below!
