The comic shows the teams origin story. It is just the usual one, other than Cosmic Rays are now called Celestial Rays. Also folks, if you check out the full comic, it’s pretty clear that as many thought, Paul Walter-Hauser’s role in the film is Mole Man.
If we go by the rumors, Mole Man appears earlier on in the movie, but might make an appearance nearer the climax also. That’s just rumors though.
There are some fans out there who could probably tell us, if they were not embargoed. It’s become clear that Marvel showed the first 30 minutes of the film to an audience in Brazil this past weekend. Any social media reactions are embargoed until tomorrow. Therefore, we may get some non-spoilery reactions from the critics who have seen the film, and also fans that saw the first 30 minutes.
The full review embargo lifts on July 22, 12pm ET.

In the meantime, whilst we wait for the critics thoughts, here are two new spots for the film.
There’s definitely some new footage here and I think fans are kinda warming up to the trailers more now. Just based on what I am seeing online, which can always be skewed. I’ve heard some unrepeatable Barside Buzz, as in vague things from those who might have seen it, which were positive. However, as you know, I always like to decide for myself anyway, as do most of you readers.
So what do you think of the Fantastic Four news and spots above? Leave any thoughts below on Mole Man, reviews or anything FF related.
