As expected, 20th Century Fox has released the final theatrical trailer for The Fantastic Four in time to arrive in theaters with Ant-Man. The new trailer not only establishes that Reed Richards (Miles Teller) has always been a scientist more interested in discovery than safety ("Reed, you're insane," a young Ben Grimm "Jamie Bell" tells him after a teleportation experiment gone wrong. "Thanks," he responds), but that the U.S. military has its own reasons for wanting to bankroll his experiments - and supporting what those experiments bring about.
The new and final trailer showed off some of that origin story - it opens with a young Reed Richards frying the national grid with his teleportation device, before giving the fans something they haven't seen yet: the team actually fighting Doctor Doom (here seen with a coppery-metallic skin that glows green, incidentally). "He's more powerful than any of them," says Teller's Mr. Fantastic at one point, "but not as powerful as all of them." See, kids? It's all about teamwork.
"It's not just people blowing things up," added Teller. Mara, meanwhile, explained that she'd originally been drawn in by the family focus of this adaptation. "We're trying to make these superheroes feel as relatable as possible. You get to know who Sue is before she has all these powers."
"This incarnation of Ben Grimm could be any kid in any town in America," adds ol' rock fists himself, Jamie Bell. "He has one friend - Reed Richards - and he's a bit directionless when you meet him. He becomes the best version of a hero: one who looks out for his friends. He's the muscle of the group and I consider him the heart of the group too." Fantastic Four stars Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, and Toby Kebbell. Fantastic Four is scheduled to be released in movie theaters on August 7, 2015.
