Fantastic Four, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.
There has been a lot of ink and blood spilled over who did what when it comes to Fantastic Four. The movie was a flop for 20th Century Fox, something everyone expected would happen well before it was released. Even director Josh Trank predicted it with an infamous Tweet he sent out on the eve of the film's premiere, blaming the studio for the bomb that was about to be detonated in theaters nationwide. Scenes had been cut, there were reshoots, and the reboot making its way onto the big screen was not the version Josh Trank had planned. What was his version, though? And would it have been better? Well, we now have reports of one big action scene involving The Thing (Jamie Bell) that was cut. Who's ever side you pick in this war between the studio and its director, there is no doubt that Josh Trank had a much different movie planned. Bits and pieces of what could have been are slowly starting to fall into place as more crew members come forward to talk about the debacle. The latest report describes, what would have been, one of the movie's biggest action scenes. And we can still see remnants of it in some of the trailers that were released leading into the release earlier this August.
