20th Century Fox has been reluctant to reveal much in the way of footage from Josh Trank's (CHRONICLE) upcoming FANTASTIC FOUR, but something tells me we'll see more in the wake of AGE OF ULTRON. You can check out a few new flying scenes with the international trailer, but these featurettes focus on the actors chosen for each character, with director Josh Trank and writer Simon Kinberg (X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST) taking the helm.

While I can't claim to have any real love for the Fantastic Four, the filmmakers and the cast assembled here are an exciting combination. It's obvious the trailers haven't really won anyone over, but at the very least this looks like less of a joke than the Tim Story flicks. I haven't made up my mind on what I think of the footage so far, but I'm intrigued enough to check this one out in theaters, so that counts for something.

FANTASTIC FOUR opens on August 7, 2015.
