This will be the third iteration of the Fantastic Four films (fourth if you count the unreleased 1994 version). The original movie and its sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer starred Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards/Mr. Fanstastic, Jessica Alba as Susan Storm/The Invisible Woman, Chris Evans as Jonathan “Johnny” Storm/Human Torch, and Michael Chiklis as Benjamin “Ben” Grimm/Thing. The more recent 2015 version starred Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and Jamie Bell as those respective characters.

Not much is known about this version quite just yet, but stay tuned for more updates!
