It is odd that Fox seems so afraid to play up the fact that they're making superhero movies that they change the properties beyond all recognition. Why would you turn one of the most iconic antagonists in fiction into a blogger?

SPOILER WARNING! The Entire Plot Leaked?
Reed is a genius convenience store clerk with Ben. Reed's parents don't care about him, and Ben's dad is abusive. They're good friends and have each other's backs. Reed writes a paper for community college on teleportation that attracts the attention of Dr. Franklin Storm, CEO of the Baxter Building research center.

Storm has a son, Johnny, and an adoptive daughter, Sue, whose father, Storm's old partner, died in an experiment gone wrong. Johnny and Sue are party kids, and Sue is particularly disdainful of science. Reed and Sue don't get along at first.

Victor Doomashev is a anti-social Eastern European computer programmer and hacktivist who calls himself "Doom". He hates the 1%, particularly Storm, whom he claims corrupts science for profit.

Storm uses Reed's paper to complete some equations on a machine to access another dimension, the N-Zone. Reed invites Ben to watch the machine being turned on. Sue and Johnny are also there. Doom manages to hack into the Baxter Building's servers and use a computer virus to damage the machine, which explodes. Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben are exposed to otherwordly energy and become mutants with powers that they can't control.

Storm takes them to the Baxter Building and creates containment suits for their powers. They begin to train. Reed and Storm also begin developing a way to revert the accident. Sue blames Reed for everything, but they eventually become friends and then a couple. Ben can switch off his powers when he's not in danger. Johnny changes colors based on heat intensity, and Sue has some borderline telekinetic thing. Reed is pretty much Reed.

Doom finds out that the four have acquired powers and becomes angry it's not him, so he comes up with a plan to break into the Baxter Building to access the N-Zone through the rebuild machine. As a distraction, he reprograms a bunch of stolen military drones, the "Doombots", to attack the building. The four come together as a team for the first time and save people.


Doom activates the machine and gets technopathy powers or something, basically energy blasts and making machines obey to him, and a fight ensues. The machine goes critical, and, in order to prevent it from exploding and destroying the city, the four push into it and Storm shuts it off.

There's a countdown before it reaches critical mass. Inside the N-Zone, the four battle Doom again, and manage to leave him trapped there after he disfigures himself soaking up too much power. The Four manage to escape, but Ben gets the blunt of it to protect Reed and can't switch back.

The machine is destroyed, Doom is gone, the four have learned to work as a team, and Reed vows to find a cure for Ben. And it ends there.

I'm not sure whose character is destroyed worse there- Doom or Sue. Making Sue a "party girl"? Ugh.

I could have done better and my total life time experience of the fantastic 4 is one comic I read as a kid, a vhs of some animated ff film and the previous godawful films.

The script even reads like a cheap license cash in

Grimm being able to change back and forth does save on CGI costs.

An alternate plot synopsis has leaked - but are either of them real?

Reed owns a soup shop that operates at the top of a big tower. Ben cleans the windows of the tower, and the pair become pals over some window-washing miming. They also both have the same watch (a silver one).

Sue and Johnny Storm come in one day for soup, but Reed says the shop is closed. Johnny makes him stay open late by giving him a Juventus cap full of £2 coins. Ben also comes in for a post-window-washing soup. From out from nowhere, a lightening bolt hits the tower, instantly killing the four of them. The strike also transforms one of Reed's DVD's into Doctor Von Doom, and after 5 minutes of solid evil laughter, he dies.

At their group funeral, Stan Lee has a cameo as a hearse driver. "I always thought I'd have to bury this lot". Then he stalls the hearse, can't get it going again, and has to phone his nephew (a mechanic) to fix it.

I did this by severing my real arms and replacing them with super-human cyborg arms.

I'm hoping this one bombs and FOX let the rights lapse this time. That means Marvel could get Silver Surfer for Infinity War Part 2?

It's a five year rolling contract I think, so they wouldn't get the rights back until 2020

Mads is so perfect for Doom, it's actually sad that it's never going to happen. Imagine Mads trolling Ben Grimm. Imagine.
