The upcoming Fantastic 4 movie, which is a reboot of the series, is set to release Aug. 7 of this year. While the core origin stories for the character remains relatively unchanged, the characters themselves are drastically different from the previous two films. Most notably, the characters appear quite a bit younger than the previous cast, and the Human Torch is being portrayed by an African-American actor (Michael B. Jordan) in this iteration. From the few glimpses we’ve seen from the trailers, the movie seems to be shaping up quite nicely, and we’re never ones to turn down a superhero movie. Fantastic 4 (2005) and Fantastic 4: Rise of The Silver Surfer (2007) saw middling reviews; let’s hope the infusion of youth can freshen up the property. Check out the character portraits below.
