This Friday, Fox will deliver it's highly anticipated – and highly criticized – FANTASTIC FOUR reboot. An interesting case, as the film comes with the baggage of uncertain buzz and rumors of multiple reshoots and post-production tinkering. But, at the end of the day, it's the product on the screen that ultimately matters, and the fans will get a look at the new product for themselves in a few short days.
If you take a look at the film's cast, it would certainly appear as though they're not too worried. Having sat down with the Fantastic Four themselves – Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell – I could tell that neither the fan skepticism nor the heavy stakes at play bothered them much. That said, I couldn't help ask them if they heard the commentary coming from the web, in addition to questions about their connection to the characters of FANTASTIC FOUR, preparing for their roles in a big budget superhero flick, and their expectations for the sequel.
It wasn't all heroic talk, however. I also sat down with Toby Kebbell, who plays with infamous FANTASTIC FOUR antagonist Victor von Doom in the film. Kebbell and I spoke about the character's mindset when we meet him, what makes the character so formidable and… a Doctor Doom spinoff?!
