THE FANTASTIC FOUR To Wear Gritty "Containment Suits" In Josh Trank's Reboot
Michael B. Jordan has said that The Fantastic Four won't be decked out in "cheesy superhero outfits" in Josh Trank's upcoming reboot, but the Chronicle star now shares some more details on the "gritty" movie and the "containment suits" the team will don. Hit the jump for details!
Michael B. Jordan recently made an appearance on Good Morning America and dropped some additional details about the suits we'll see in the upcoming reboot, The Fantastic Four. It definitely doesn't sound as if we'll see them walking around in bright blue costumes emblazoned with the number "4" (though it's easy to imagine that being the case by the time the credits roll).
"It's a new look," the actor who plays Johnny Storm/The Human Torch revealed in an interview with the ABC show. "We are all in containment suits. It's gritty. It's a gritty film." What will they look like exactly? While the Chronicle star was careful not to give too many details away, he did drop a few additional hints as to what we should expect. "The costume process definitely took some time to get in and out of that thing, especially since I was bulking up. It was a little more snug during filming. We got through it man. It was a process, but we did it. It was hard work."I'm really excited about it, everyone is really happy. We worked hard for three months, put a lot of time into it. The script is very grounded and relatable to everybody, as much as you can. You really get a chance to grow with these characters. It's an origin story. You get to discover these abilities. These disabilities rather and grow with them." That's not the first time the foursome's powers have been described this way of course, so it should be interesting to see how this ends up playing out on the big screen. What do you guys think of the above costume descriptions?
Also starring Miles Teller as Reed Richards, Kate Mara as Sue Storm, Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm and Toby Kebbell as Victor Von Doom, The Fantastic Four is set to be released on August 7th, 2015.
