Anghus Houvouras with this week’s disappointments from the entertainment world… “Fox denies rumour that Fantastic Four rights are back at Marvel, still planning sequel” Oh thank God. I was worried it would wind up in competent hands. I can’t imagine anyone who thinks this is a good idea, except executives at Fox who seem to […]
Fantastic Four rumoured to be back at Marvel with new movie planned for 2020

In (partial) defence of Fantastic Four
One year after the release of the universally castigated superhero movie, Sean Wilson pops the question: is it really THAT bad? Amidst a disappointing 2016 blockbuster movie season I’m struggling to identify any genuine underdog movies, ones that received their fare share of critical bile but which I actually liked. (Case in point: Suicide Squad, […]
Why don’t they just make a Doctor Doom movie instead?
Anghus Houvouras on how to fix the Fantastic Four franchise… Fantastic Four is one of those cinematic enigmas. A concept that’s been around almost as long as Marvel Comics.

Fox won’t make another Fantastic Four until they can get it “100% right”
While 20th Century Fox has enjoyed a fairly solid run with its X-Men franchise (in terms of box office receipts at least), the studio suffered a major setback in 2015 with its Fantastic Four reboot – a film that was butchered with reshoots, trashed by fans and critics alike (and even its director Josh Trank), […]

Mads Mikkelsen finally made his Marvel debut last year as Kaecilius in Doctor Strange, having originally been attached to play Malekith the Accused in Thor: The Dark World, only for a scheduling conflict to prevent his participation.

Toby Kebbell says Josh Trank’s original cut of Fantastic Four was great and admits that he doesn’t really play Doom in the movie
It’s been nearly a year since the catastrophe that was Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four and we’re still learning more about it. When the director officially denounced the movie via Twitter, he noted that he had a “great” version of the movie which “you’ll never see”, and now one of its stars has backed that up. […]

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the Unhelpful Rumour Machine
Tony Black on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the unhelpful rumour machine… We may be living in the age of the geek, but when you examine all the rumour around Rogue One: A Star Wars Story this week, you can’t help but wonder if that Birth. Movies. Death article doing the rounds about ‘broken […]
