Comic Book Girl
19 pretty much sums up most of the interesting stories behind the
making of Fantastic Four. With all the problems with the movie, I'm
surprised that FOX even bothered to give it a wide release and
marketing push. We got to see a big budget movie fail in real time
and pretty much every BTS rumors are true.
I also think FOX
tried their best to keep pushing the “controversy” of having a
black Human Torch long after people started focusing in on the main
problems behind the scenes. It likes “Hey, look over there, don't
look at this stuff. Weren't you all mad about a Black Character.”
For me, it is not about message of having a white character change to black, just make a good movie first. Work on the script and find a director that can work on a big budget. It's about the story first and the message comes third or fourth. FOX sort of forgot about this.
Back in 2014,
Marvel canceled their FF book, thus removing free promotion for FOX.
Also, Marvel made sure not to promote this movie at all and even
went as far as killing off the main cast from the movie in their
comic book universe. No matter
what they say, Marvel and FOX don't get along.
From
Forbes.com, ((Previous to Secret Wars, Marvel writer Chris
Claremont told
website Bleeding Cool that Marvel writers were not allowed to
create new X-Men characters because Fox could conceivably use them in
a future film. ))
Ouch.
