Louis Leret recommends: Recasting the Fantastic Four For the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Matt Bomer as Mister Fantastic

If the Fantastic Four are rebooted for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we can look forward to a whole new cast for Marvel’s First Family. Of course, such a possibility is still some way off, as it will take 12 to 18 months for Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox to go through (and that’s if it doesn’t get blocked by the Department of Justice), but it’s not too early to start looking at the current rising talent stars who could take on the roles of Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and the Thing.

Twentieth Century Fox has so far made three Fantastic Four movies: Tim Story’s ...

The Definitive Ranking of ‘Fast & Furious’ Films (Including ‘Hobbs and Shaw’)

Image
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is coming to theaters this week ( read our review here ), so it’s time to rev up a new ranking of the entire Fast franchise that includes the new spin-off. So peel out, hit your NOS button, defy some physics, and read on to learn the definitive, inarguable order of these ridiculous but lovable #family films. On today’s episode of /Film Daily, I joined Peter Sciretta and Jacob Hall to discuss and debate the merits of this list, and you can listen in as Jacob comes to the crushing realization that, as I mentioned before, this list is truly definitive and therefore can’t be argued against. (If you, like Jacob, find yourself having any complaints about the order, feel free to sound off in the comments with the full knowledge that the list is totally incontrovertible.) Fast and Furious Ranking 9. 2 Fast 2 Furious Director John Singleton took the reins early in this franchise’s history, when the Fast movies were still trying to establish...

Rewatch Captain America Wielding Thor’s Hammer in This ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Clip

Image
It was teased briefly in Avengers: Age of Ultron , but it finally happened on screen four years later in Avengers: Endgame : during a fight with Thanos, Captain America proved he was worthy enough to lift Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer. It was the type of fist-pumping moment that could generate cheers even from fans who hadn’t grown up reading Marvel Comics for their entire lives. A moment that, like Endgame itself, was an expertly-delivered payoff after years of laying ground work. Now you can relive that scene in this Avengers: Endgame clip before the entire film makes its way to home video. Captain America Lifts Thor’s Hammer During the Battle of Upstate New York , Tony Stark/Iron Man ( Robert Downey Jr. ), Steve Rogers/Captain America ( Chris Evans ) and Thor ( Chris Hemsworth ) face off against Thanos ( Josh Brolin ) in the rubble of Avengers HQ. When I interviewed Weta Digital’s visual effects supervisor Matt Aitken , who told me about creating the film’s epic final battle , he z...

Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: ‘Alien’ Designer H.R. Giger’s Insane Unused Batmobile Concept Brought to Life in 3D Model

Image
A fun piece of trivia is making the rounds again, and since we’ve never written about it at /Film, now’s as good a time as any to share it.  H.R. Giger , one of the designers of Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic Alien , was hired to create some Batmobile concept art for director Joel Schumacher ‘s 1995 film  Batman Forever – and Giger’s design is just as odd as you’d expect from the man whose mind birthed the Xenomorph. Take a closer look below. H.R. Giger’s Batmobile Concept Art As you can see from the top left corner, Giger took his inspiration from a pair of scissors; I suppose he envisioned Batman literally cutting through crime in Gotham City. It’s a horrifying mixture of mechanical tubes and phallic imagery, very clearly from the same mind as the man behind Jodorowsky’s unmade version of  Dune and Scott’s Alien . Designer Leon Gor  took Giger’s original concept art and rendered it as a 3D model: Gor’s  LinkedIn page says he worked as a vehicle ...
