Earlier incarnations of The Fantastic Four were not hits, but this time, Marvel has Pedro Pascal playing Reed Richards.
This is a fifth shot at a Fantastic Four movie. Pedro Pascal can do no wrong these days, and I hope it is enough to pull the film off. I think the premise of rich, "smart" people doing whatever unregulated science they want and people trusting they are looking out for the public good is a rough premise to accept in 2025.
In a today-accurate film, Ben Grimm would have lawyered up and sued Richards and the Baxter Corp.
