Not much is known about The Fantastic Four beyond its ensemble cast, grounded direction, and recently-delayed release date, but the guys at Schmoes Knows have come through with exclusive plot info and some potential spoilers. The first of three key details confirms pretty much what everyone has already assumed regarding Michael B. Jordan and Kate Mara playing siblings, Johnny and Sue Storm. "Well, we have heard from our source that it is actually Mara’s Sue Storm who is adopted in the film, with her and Michael B. Jordan’s parents being African American," says the source. This was also implied when Reg E. Cathey was cast as their dad, Dr. Franklin Storm. 

Moving along and into spoiler territory, the next reveals, vaguely, how the Fantastic Four will get their superhpowers in the Josh Trank-directed movie, which seems to be heavily influenced by the "Ultimate Fantastic Four" comics. "In the film, the team will gain their powers through a lab experiment gone wrong in a way, where they create a portal to another world or dimension (its not clear) and they get their powers after the exposure to this other dimension/planet." That is quite different from the Tim Story-directed Fantastic Four movie, which had the heroes and Dr. Doom gain their superhuman abilities through a scientific, outer space mission gone wrong. Anyhow, last but least, Schmoes Knows' source reckons that, unlike most superhero movies, Marvel's First Family's 2015 reboot will be "VERY character driven," with much focus on the relationships between Reed Richards (Miles Teller), Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell), Johnny Storm (Jordan), Sue Storm (Mara), and their eventual enemy Victor von Doom (Toby Kebbell). What do you think?

Directed by Josh Trank, The Fantastic Four is now scheduled to be released on August 7, 2015.

@MrFridayNights, i think people were just hoping for something closer to comics, it does sound cool though. I'm tired of the whole experiment gone wrong, a wave of cosmic energy in space sounds better.

@ALegendaryPanda

Agreed. People are just butthurt that Marvel doesn't own the rights. They're just hoping that it will do poorly so Fox can't do anything with the property.

@TheBeard, is that how you're able to root for every single Marvel Studios film?

It's only a matter of time before the movie releases and the people bitching about it start asking for a sequel and see it more than once.

@AlphaAndDecima

What makes this movie "shit?" I'm asking you because you seem to know a lot about the movie and you've most likely seen it already.

@DanteSparda

Your Fantastic 4 sequel idea can not work because Fox does not own the rights to Namor. I am not sure where he is exactly he either belongs to Universal, Marvel themselves, or in a shared studio ownership between Universal and Marvel. This is from Kevin Feige himself just not exactly sure which of the two own it exactly I just definitely know Fox does not own Namor and that probably includes Atlantis and the Atlantians and any other Namor characters.

I'm not even mildly excited.As a matter of fact I'd rather have my genitals attacked by a rabid pack of wolves with explosive diarrhea than see this crap.

After seeing their version of what Dr. Doom will look like (seriously...cosplayers on a limited budget can nail it and they can't?), and now hearing how they'll explain a mixed family scenario...I think I'll give this one a pass. I'll wait for it to available through other means. Definitely won't be getting any of my money at the box office. I'm just waiting for this to tank on such an epic scale that the rights will revert.
