Where is that Wolverine game?

Yeah…..i had little interest in that last Avengers game.

But if we get a couple of films deep, fighting Galactus is always fun!

Lego Marvel was awesome.

That og Wolverine game I put in hours upon hours.

FF needs a definitive game but it has to break out of its funk as a property first.

Is that online only multiplayer? But that's cool they're in it at least.

I have to check the Marvel vs Capcom games to see if the F4 are in those games. Okay, no.

Fantastic 4 vs Galactus - YouTube

I think this is probably a fan-made mod of F4 against Galactus.

Insomniac's Wolverine maybe by 2027. I'd be surprised for 2025. They took their teams probably to work on it as they abandoned all DLC missions for Spider-Man 2 on PS5. A few staff leader changes too apparently with some directors leaving for other companies.

The new open world Blade game for XBSX is set for 2027. Good thing as we never got the reboot Blade movie to go with it by then.

A modern Fantastic Four video game could've been good. Set in an open city and you could fly around, or be the other characters.
Mr. Fantastic could swing around like Spider-Man if he wanted to.
The Thing/Rockman could break through barriers.
Mrs. Fantastic could be good for stealth.

No game like that. Missed opportunity.

They are in Marvel Rivals, a free game on Steam.

The problem i have with The Thing is that looking st that group shot, his head is ridiculously small. Yes they want it to look like the Jack Kirby design and that's all fine and dandy but the damn proportions are completely off for the head.

He literally looks like the shrunken head guy in Beetlejuice bad.

Vanessa being as tall looking as she is, and given The Thing is CGI, i wish they boosted his height up a bit to make him look obviously more tall. I don't care for this "He's 500Lbs" posts trying to explain why he looks shorter. It's a CBM, they can keep his height more accurate looking.

Johnny Storm i'll see how he plays out in the movie but so far all his scenes did was remind me of how it looks a direct copy of Evans versions in flames so far.

[Star Lord]

Marvel Rivals is huge now and the F4 characters are on it! What a time to be a F4 fan with the movie so near.

We accepted this.



He shouldn’t be the size of Colossus, but he should be bigger than Sue.

Wait wait wait, who exactly accepted... that? Any of that?

[Chedwiggen]

So far this is the only film I'm really looking forward to this summer.

Wow! I am delighted that someone else in the world put that speculation out there first. Because honestly, the first time I saw that footage, I thought "why is Sue walking like that? Something looks off." Repeated viewings eventually put the thought in my head, "She's carrying herself like a pregnant woman! But her belly is small? Digital trickery?!?" I'm not one for conspiracies, but Marvel trailers have misled us before.

I like the retro-futuristic vibe of the trailer, but I am somewhat concerned that mainstream (non comic-book readers) audiences will see the finished product and think, "Oh, they're ripping off The Incredibles!"

I'm also concerned about some of the rumors I've heard, particularly

[Show spoiler]the notion that Galactus will destroy "their Earth," and somehow the FF escape to the "regular MCU." Doesn't anyone else think that's a tremoundously stupid idea?!? How the hell are these people supposed to be "heroes" going forward? How could anyone in the audience be expected to root for a bunch of losers who couldn't save their own planet?!? As a big fan of the "classic" FF (the Lee/Kirby years), I fear we will never see a near-perfect cinematic depiction of the material.

. And why, why can't we get the classic blue uniforms with black trim (boots, collars, belts, gloves)? Never liked the white versions. As my mother would have said, that white is going to show all the dirt!

Nevertheless, I'll be there in theaters to see it 2 or 3 times at least! Excelsior!

[Agent Bond]

We accepted this.

Who's we?

[BluBonnet]

All the cool kids.

Galactus was defeated in the comics with a bluff. This idea sounds like an improvement despite my normally hating changes in the source.

I think it's pretty much a given that

[Show spoiler]Silver Surfer senses Franklin's birth, alerts Galactus which causes him to visit that universe and begin his destruction. The F4 flees that universe to get away from him and ends up in the 616.

Thanks. I think that's a multiplayer only game, but makes sense as they are team based heroes most times. Would be cool if they offered single player offline with bots for the other 3 characters, so you could play anytime without having to wait for servers, etc., be always online, etc.

I didn't notice his proportions in the trailer, probably cause they have him in close up mostly in the kitchen scene. I think he normally does have a smaller face and a giant torso though.

I hope so because

[Show spoiler]then they could still bring Galactus back later as an Avengers-level threat, after The Fantastic Four universe probably merges with 616.

[Gamma_Winstead]

I would be SHOCKED if

[Show spoiler]Galactus was just a one off villain for this movie. Dude absolutely needs to come back as the main villain of the next avengers film post secret wars.

The was absolute zero criticism regarding Ben height.
Folks were complaining about other things.
Stay on topic.

John Malkovich will not be playing "Red Ghost," but

[Show spoiler]Boris Karela

instead, so there's your tie to
