Fantastic Four: Marvel Comics

From the beginning, The Fantastic Four were handled differently than other superheroes. They didn't hide their identities. They bickered among themselves. At first, they even wore street clothes while performing super-deeds. Readers responded favorably to these innovations. With the fourth issue, the blurb "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine" was added to the masthead, and many thought it no exaggeration.

Fantastic Four is a 2005 superhero film based on the Marvel Comics comic Fantastic Four. It was directed by Tim Story, and released by 20th Century Fox. This is the second live-action Fantastic Four movie to be filmed. The previous attempt, a B-movie produced by Roger Corman to retain the film rights, was never officially released.

The following issue reinforced this notion of "real-world superheroes" by having the Fantastic Four, in civilian clothes, stroll to a newstand hoping to pick up their latest comic book. This was in "A Visit with the Fantastic Four", the first of two stories in issue #11 (Feb. 1963).

Before three of the Fantastic Four cast members took the stage at the 2004 San Diego Comic Con, producer/Chairman and CEO of Marvel Studios Avi Arad announced filming on Elektra had been completed. The announcement was followed by behind-the-scenes clips from the movie accompanied by Jennifer Garners narration. The clips helped get the 5,000+ comic book fans seated in the biggest auditorium at the 'Con' ready for the introduction of the cast and director of Arads and 20th Century Foxs next big movie project Fantastic Four.

As in almost all of the previous Marvel Comics-based films, Fantastic Four co-creator Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance. He is Willie Lumpkin, the postal worker who greets the team on their way to the Baxter Building elevator.[1]

Fantastic Four doesn't expand on, or even illuminate, anything much beyond the most basic theme of what it feels like to be an adolescent misfit. This is a comic-book movie that actually makes an effort not to go over kids' heads.
