✖ There have been multiple big-budget attempts at bringing the Fantastic Four to life for the big screen, though with Marvel Studios having regained the rights to the characters to bring them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, former Thing actor Michael Chiklis has some advice for the best way to capture the beloved family.
"Just understand, the real tone and tenor of the Fantastic Four is as we did it. It's not meant to be dark and brooding," Chiklis recently shared with Screen Rant."It's never going to be The Dark Knight. Don't try to make it that. Don't expect it to be that. The Ever-Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing was from Brooklyn and he was a Dodgers fan. They were a sweet family and that's the way it's meant to be. It wasn't meant to be hardcore and dark and brooding.
Luckily, Chiklis's comments likely won't be entirely necessary, as the tone of virtually all MCU films has been to ensure the heart of the source material and, while dealing with some dark topics, doesn't dive into the more morose tones witnessed in other superhero outings.
Thanks to the success of films like X-Men and Spider-Man in the early 2000s, there was a deluge of comic book movies in the wake of those adventures, which included Chiklis starring in two Fantastic Four films. At the time, however, filmmakers hadn't entirely figured out the best approach to bringing these characters to life, which includes costumes and visual effects.
"Go CGI if you can," Chiklis joked about putting the character on screen."Wardrobe was something else, but it was still a pretty amazing experience."What do you think of the actor's remarks? Let us know in the comments below!
Really enjoyed the first FF, not so much 2nd with Galactus cloud, but loved Silver Surfer. Absolutely HATED Trank's version which show NO respect for source material. Aside from the needless diversity casting, Doom looked more like a damaged droid from I, Robot.
If John Krasinski doesn’t become Mr. Fantastic. I see the perfect alternative. Let’s not forget, he almost became the MCU’s Star Lord. GlennHowerton
