The second Fantastic Four trailer is out and it is full of team action. We get more scenes of the full on rock and rollin’ The Thing, getting ready for some serious clobbering. The trailer also serves as our first official look at Toby Kebbell as the villianous Doctor Doom.

Fantastic Four stars Miles Teller as Reed Richards, Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm, Kate Mara. As Sue Storm, and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm.

Well, whether you’ve been looking forward to it or not, we finally get our first look at Jamie Bell as The Thing in Josh Trank’s film reboot of the Fantastic Four franchise.

Bell wore a motion-capture suit for the role and the end result looks much more convincing than Michael Chiklis’ costume from the 2005 and 2007 movies.

Are you excited for another Fantastic Four movie? Will you be there when it hits theatres August 7th or are you just going to stay home and watch The Incredibles again instead? Let us know in the comments below.

Briefly: We cannot wait for this to come out.

All the way back in April of 2013, we hosted a ‘Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four Reunion‘, which featured some of the film’s prominent cast and crew, as well as documentary producer Mark Sikes. The group was just about to start production on the Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s ‘The Fantastic Four’, and today, the first trailer for that documentary was released.

I still haven’t had an opportunity to watch Corman’s version of The Fantastic Four, but have read up on its troubled production extensively, and am very excited for the documentary to release. You can take a look at the trailer below, which features some excellent interview clips with Corman himself, as well as a multitude of cast and crew members.

Be sure to let us know what you think, and if you’re excited to see the full feature!

Back in 1994, legendary B-Movie filmmaker Roger Corman produced one of Marvel’s first movies. It was a feature film adaptation of The Fantastic Four, which at the time never saw the light of day. It has since been bootlegged and leaked, and has gained a cult following over the years. Director Marty Langford has created a documentary called DOOMED!: The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s “The Fantastic Four,”  which gives us the full behind the scenes story of the film’s troubled production and release.

Almost 20 years ago, one of the most notorious comic book films of all time was produced: Roger Corman’s ‘The Fantastic Four’! For most of its existence, this unreleased gem, which fans either loved or bemoaned, was only available through bootleg fan copies at comic book conventions. A VHS or DVD copy was the Holy Grail of Geekdom! Now, on the eve of production on the documentary ‘Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s “Fantastic Four” Movie’, original cast members Rebecca Staab, Joseph Culp, Carl Ciarfalio and documentary producer Mark Sikes (who was a casting assistant on the film) talk about what it was like making the film, being in the film and looking back 20 years later! Geekscapist Satori claims “This is a really great ep, probably my favorite since you’ve been on Toadhop.” and “This is BRILLIANT!!!!” Who are we to argue with a longtime Geekscapist? Enjoy!
