– Producer and co-writer Simon Kinberg recently spoke with denofgeek.com about Fantastic Four and the film’s possible sequel. The sequel was once slated for the summer of 2017, but was removed from the schedule…

On Fantastic Four Not Being a Good Movie: “We didn’t make a good movie,” Kinberg said, “and the world voted, and I think they probably voted correctly. And you can’t make a good movie every time out – not everybody does. We actually have a pretty good batting average, all things considered. But I think we made many mistakes when we made that movie – mistakes that we learned from and we wouldn’t repeat.”

On a Sequel: “We want to make another Fantastic Four movie. We love that cast – I mean if I were to say to you now Michael B Jordan and Miles Teller, and Kate [Mara] and Jamie [Bell] are great actors – we love that cast. I love the comic, I mean I love it almost as much as X-Men.”

On The Tone of The Sequel: “We’ll try to be truer to the essence of the tone of Fantastic Four, which is completely – well, not completely, but largely – distinct from the X-Men, which is brighter, funner, more optimistic tone. I think we tried to make a darker Fantastic Four movie, which seemed like a radical idea but we were kind of messing with the DNA of the actual comic instead of trusting the DNA of the comic.”

There's no way in heck they'll make a sequel to one the biggest flops in Superhero Movie history just so they can hold on to the rights.

Fox can't possibly be this stupid, right?

[ToTheNines]

He's so very full of sh*t. They can't afford another Fantastic flop.

How do reverting rights work though? Fox have to make a "Fantastic Four" movie every x years, or just put the characters in a movie and that counts?

According to this link, they have to start production on a FF movie every 7 years or the rights go back to MARVEL

**** Simon Kinberg. How is this guy still attached to Fox's Marvel properties?

He wrote X3 but talks about how they did a poor job adapting the Dark Phoenix so he wants to do it again.

He wrote/produced F4 and says they got it wrong and wants to try again.

You had your chances with these properties and ****ed them up.

Looks like another 7 years without the FF comic book then

Marvel just grabbed Jordan for Black Panther. Meaning the studio now has BOTH of FOX's Human Torches. You can't make this stuff up.

Wow, trolling Fox hard. Good casting though, love MBJ and he obviously works well with Coogler.

Yo, Hollywood needs to stop "fixing" & start making apology reboots.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Apology reboots. EXACTLY.

So far, we've had... one? Deadpool and that's it?

[ToTheNines]

Maybe Man of Steel, depending on where you stand with that...

But I feel it was less of an apology for Superman Returns and more of a "sorry Marvel already made an Avengers movie, this will get us to JLA someday though!".

Well, Sony was kind enough (and desperate enough) to lend Spidey to the MCU. I guess that counts too.

I don't think it counts. I think the official definition of an "Apology Reboot" is a studio royally fouling up a character or franchise and then explicitly owning up to it and providing an apology in the form of a better, more faithful, movie.

Sony just sort of slunk back to Marvel and said, "Turns out we suck... help us make money?"

Fox, on the other hand, made Deadpool. Pretty much exclusively thanks to RR and four other people.

Am I the only one just now discovering that Chris Evans (Captain America) played the Human Torch in the 2005-2007 Fantastic Four movies? I seriously had no idea. He looks completely different in those movies, I had no clue that was him.

[ToTheNines]

Yes. You are.

[ProactiveMan]

The movie opens in a darkened bedroom where Reed Richards abruptly wakes in a cold sweat.
"AHHH!! What a horrible dream."

[Shark_Blade]

Well everyone deserves another chance. I agree the first one was so awful.

And now they need to apologize for apologizing.
