The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)

I wish Ben’s look was a bit more (or at all?) practical since the CGI looks aged already but overall everything looks nice. Echoing that it’s good to see an actual Galactus.

I don’t think I knew John Malkovich had been cast in this. I wonder who he’s playing.
 
As someone who never really enjoyed the Fantastic Four, and hated all the previous movies, I’m so excited for this. The look and setting is so spot on.

My only fear, as with the previous movies, is making Mr Fantastic’s stretching ability not look cheesy as hell.
 
Doomsday begins filming in a few weeks, I'm surprised they haven't revealed the main Avengers line-up. But, I think it's also linked to the story in Cap4 ("find me a new avengers team") so maybe they're waiting for that to be released.
 
The huge break (Deadpool aside) from what feels like the canon (The Marvels feels like 4 years ago) MCU movies has really helped with rumbling a bit of excitement from me. I am cautiously optimistic that parts of the Cap 4 trailer look genuinely good from the trailers, but I can't get the 4 sets of reshoots out from the back of my head. Hopefully it doesn't do a Quantumania, and actually excites instead of ruining hype for Thunderbolts*/ Fantastic Four.

If Cap 4 is received badly, I think Fantastic Four will do okay regardless (like Guardians 3 did in the end, despite the lowed opening - I still think Guardians 2 could have done a billion had Quantumania not done so much damage to the brand), but Thunderbolts* could be a real uphill battle.
 
It all looks pretty great. I am so glad that we can dive right into a proper story with villains rather than see how they get their powers taking up most of the movie.
I feel like no matter what Thing's look and Mr Fantastic's stretching will always look a bit naff and cheesy, but it doesn't distract from the overall look this time round.
